WWE News: Jericho talks to CBS Showbuzz about his return to Raw, why he quit, steroid testing Nov 30, 2007 - 12:02:38 PM
The CBS Showbuzz website features an article on Chris Jericho's return, titled "The Lion is Back in the Ring." The following are key Jericho quotes:
-"I stepped back for two years to get away, just to take a break. I now felt the time was right to come back, and I was excited to do so."
-"There were so many reasons why I should have quit over the years but quitting was just never an option for me. People said I was too small, and I would think to myself, 'Small? I don't get it?' But I still believed in myself and my strengths and I just went for it and I think remembering those things for the book convinced me to come back."
-"I worked on a lot of things in the two years I had off, some things I wanted to work on creatively. I wanted to take myself outside the wrestling box and more into the entertainment box. And that's why I came back to wrestling, because I didn't have to give any of those other things up."
-"I dabbled with [steroids] early-on but I quickly realized that it wasn't going to make a difference for me either way. For me, it was about being faster and quicker that was going to make me stand out... There is a misconception that if someone takes steroids, all their skill and talent comes from that and that's not true at all."
-"It's a problem that needs to be dealt with and (the WWE is) dealing with it. They should make steroids illegal and get Congress involved if that's the way to go."
