Thanks to TheFightNetwork.com and PWTorch.com for the following recap...
In a recent interview, WWE wrestler Chris Jericho evaluated TNA as a promotion with a good talent roster, but needing to make management changes to maximize the product.
"They have all the right talent; they're just having growing pains. I think they just need to make a couple more front office moves," Jericho said, with his voice trailing off as if not wanting to throw anyone under the bus, in an interview with John Pollock on Live Audio Wrestling last week.
Jericho also talked about TNA needing to focus on Thursday nights after getting a taste of Monday nights up against WWE.
"It's too bad it didn't work out on Monday nights, but it's such a machine and you can't compete with WWE in this day and age," Jericho said. "Things have changed from 15 years ago and I think all those guys are figuring that out. They should take Thursday night, make it their night, and create a niche for themselves and do something different from what it is that we're doing. You can't compete with us. We'll never lose."
Jericho also talked about his work in WWE and why he's been able to stay over no matter whether he's booked to win or lose matches.
"Nobody will ever steal my spot because I do what I do very uniquely. Whether I'm on first or whether I'm in the main event, it doesn't matter to me," Jericho said. "If I get five minutes of TV time, watch out because I'm going to take advantage of it. I can't control the booking; I have no power over that. All I can control is the time that I'm given and the storyline that I'm given to do the best possible job with it."
