Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Uproxx. He spoke on a wide variety of topics about his life as a professional wrestler and as musician. We previously covered his explanation on why he won’t ever be a part-time guy that only shows up for Wrestlemania.

Jericho also explained when he knew it was time to end his recent run with WWE. He was written off Smackdown Live several weeks ago after a vicious assault by Kevin Owens.
Here is what he had to say:
“For this one, I knew that it was time to go because you get to a certain level, then you turn baby face, and then that’s where you start having problems, because with the baby face you either win the title and you’re John Cena, or you start going down through the ranks. And that wouldn’t work for me, for this character, with the Jericho character”
He continued:
“I’ve always been better as a heel. That’s my wheelhouse. And then people start liking you, so you switch, but then it’s only a short amount of time when that stuff that they loved you doing as a heel, that they love as a baby … “It’s just a parody of himself.” And I don’t want to deal with that sh*t. I don’t want to deal with the hardcore fans and stuff like that. I had fun with it, I knew it was time to go. I have people saying, “When are you coming back to wrestling?” It’s been 3 weeks”
