Chris Jericho talks about how it must have been WM25

The "Ayatollah of Rock'N'Rolla", Chris Jericho, has been interviewed on "Inside The Ropes" (celebrating the anniversary of the program as well), in the interview said the fighter what were the plans for Wrestlemania 25:

"The original plan was to do a singles match against Mickey Rourke, something that motivated him so much, that even during the red carpet of the awards" Screen Actors Guild ", Mickey was saying something about it.

My cousin sent me a message asking me "are you going to fight Mickey Rourke?, Just to challenge you on the red carpet."

This was three weeks before the Oscars, we wanted to announce it later.

When we went to announce us, have said previously known were eating him head on if that would take a chance to win the "Oscar", did not win and he continued with the same roll.

And while we were already on that path, he said no. "

"Then Vince came with his" Plan B ", which included Ric Flair (retired last year) had to be the leader of a group of people who had appeared at the first WrestleMania, Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, and Greg Valentine.

Hulk Hogan's name was never mentioned.

At that point, I talked to Jerry Lawler, but did not fit because they had been in the first Wrestlemania.

I watched as that could be, but with Piper, Snuka and Valentine, that would suck, so I told Vince, I said that would not be good, to which he replied:

"Does not have to be good", I understand, but to get into the fight Greg Valentine, Ricky Steamboat include preferred.

Ricky was starting to work again at that time.

He had not fought and did not have his own name, who possessed his ex-wife, that was something proproblemático.

There was some tension and end Vince allowed me to have Ricky, I did and it was amazing.

He did.
