While promoting his new book called No is a Four Letter Word, ex-WWE World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho spoke with Monster about his relationship with WWE chairman Vince McMahon. He also gave a bit of advice on how to be successful in Vince McMahon’s company.
“The relationship I have with Vince now — and I think of us as friends — took years to develop. When you’re working with someone who’s at the top of their game, they are really complex, and it’s not possible to gain their trust and respect overnight. You can’t rush it.
“It helps to put yourself in the shoes of someone who’s been a boss for a long time. How many people have worked for him in the past, and how many have not worked out? He, or she, is looking for someone who will stand the test of time. So try to be that person.”
