WWE RAW superstar Chris Jericho was a recent guest on Live Audio Wrestling to promote this Sunday’s WWE Survivor Series pay-per-view and noted that his current run with the WWE was originally scheduled to end back at WrestleMania 32 this year.

“My original plan when I came back last January was to stay until WrestleMania, four month, then it started going so good, I re-signed I think until July and then I re-signed until October and then I re-signed until November. Now, it’s basically a month-by-month thing. I’ve got a certain time frame in mind, but I can’t even say that, because what was supposed to be four has already been ten because I am smart enough to know this. I’ve been doing this for a long time and to have, like you said, this could be my best run, but I still think my 2008 Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, The Big Show run might have been better, but if it was, it’s not by far, this could be the best run I’ve ever had and at 45 years old, ten years ago you would think that was old, now The Stones are still killing it at 74 years old, so as long as physically I can go and still basically look the part, I don’t really put any limits on age or anything like that.

I can still go out there and have the best match of the show on any given night and I’m working with guys that are 10-15 years younger that don’t feel that. I love working with Owens and Rollins and Reigns and Sami Zayn and Dean Ambrose and AJ Styles, those guys are re-invigorating my love for the business because I have been through a lot of generations of the business. Also, keep this in mind, my generation of guys, as sad as it is to say this, my best friends have either passed away or retired, so now I have this whole new group of guys who it starts with a little bit of hero worship, that’s great, but now let’s get down to it, just start working and having some fun. These are like my best friends on the job right now, I love hanging out with the guys, they’re all really great guys and there’s no reason for me to stop because I’m doing something for the right reason because I love doing it and that’s why I do anything at this point. Thankfully, I don’t have to worry about any financial issues, I do something because I love it, it’s the same reason why I go back on the road with Fozzy, it’s because I love playing rock and roll and I love building my band and I love seeing how much the band has grown and the reactions we get, the tours we get with KISS and Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold and Shinedown, so whatever I’m doing, the podcast, I love doing it, I love talking to people. I just finished writing my 4th book so anything I do, I’m putting 1000% effort into it, I believe in it and I enjoy doing it. Right now, in the WWE, I’m enjoying this run as much as I had anything in my entire career and I’m going to enjoy it as long as I can and continue to build it and continue to entertain for as long as I can in the WWE, for sure.”
