WWE star Chris Jericho was interviewed by Brian Fritz of Fanhouse.com regarding the debut of ABC's "Downfall" television show. Jericho was asked about his contractual status with WWE. "Yeah, it's coming up fairly soon, it's coming up very soon," Jericho said. "It's one of those things we've been talking about for a while to get it rolling again. Like I said, to me, I'll leave the business when I'm ready to and I'm not ready yet.

"I still want to continue to work. I still have some things that I can offer. I still think I'm among the best in what I do, if not the best just because of the fact I have 20 years of experience which is a rare thing nowadays. You can't teach experience. You can teach someone to do a promo kind of, you can teach someone to do a move but you can't teach someone experience.

Jericho also sounded off on the WWE Attitude Era. "PG, I think, is a great idea," said Jericho. "To me, the Attitude Era was stupid. Hot Lesbian Action and Meat with a (expletive) (expletive) in his pants because he has a (expletive) and Mark Henry getting a (expletive) from a guy and necrophilia. That's not entertaining by anybody's standards. That's just stupid and I never liked that stuff.

"For me, for them to go family oriented, I'm all for it. It's family oriented but in this day and age where you can still go out there and have kick ass matches. It's still edgy, there's still great characters. I've got no problem with it. I like it much better than the Attitude Era because I thought the Attitude Era was just childish, dropping (expletive) on each another and stuff. C'mon, that's not funny if you're five years old."

Powell's POV: I enjoyed a lot about the Attitude Era, but people do seem to romanticize over it and forget some of the over the top silliness that took place. That said, it's funny that Jericho praised PG and ripped the Attitude era while swearing repeatedly.

It will be interesting to see what happens with Jericho and WWE if "Downfall" is successful and additional episodes are ordered. The first of six episodes debuts tonight on ABC at 8:00 p.m. CT. Other interview topics include Batista's MMA career, how he scored the "Downfall" gig, and the television icon he looks up to.
