- As PWMania.com reported, Chris Jericho recently spoke with Scott Fishman of The Miami Herald to promote his new WWE DVD. The full interview can be found at this link. Below are highlights:

Working with younger talents and including his Bray Wyatt match on the new DVD:
"In this day, most of the guys are newer. That's just the cycle of wrestling. I'm fortunate enough to be doing this for 25 years and can still do this at a high level. I'm still Chris Jericho. As far as years in the ring, I have more than Triple H. I have more than Kane. I think only Goldust and Undertaker really have as many years in the ring. Just to stay in the company and continue to work, you have to work with the younger guys. I think that is important to do that.

"This is why I included the Bray Wyatt match on the DVD because I thought it was a great match. I think the Randy Orton match I had was a great match. I don't always want it to be a career retrospective just based around 1999 to 2004 or whatever. I've had great matches every year in my career, so I think it's important to support that and continue to remind people of that. I've enjoyed working with Bray Wyatt. I think the cage match we had on Raw was tremendous. One of the best ones I've done. I think the match I had with Orton at [Night of Champions] is the best one we've ever had.

"So it's important to work with the younger guys, but it's not like there is any choice to work with anybody else. I like working with whoever it is that I feel I would have fun with. When I went back to do the live events over the last couple of months, that was one of the things. I would love to come back to do live events, but who am I working with? I need to know that before I get in the ring. The two names they picked were Cesaro and [Luke] Harper. I love both of those guys, so it worked out great."

WrestleMania 31 and talents he would like to work with:
"I like the concept. It amazes every year. It's always good. Of course, I want to see Triple H and Sting. I know what kind of match it's going to be because I've seen Sting in TNA for the last 10 years. It's not like he is going to come back and be different in the ring. The storyline is what counts. I'm excited for Brock [Lesnar] and Roman Reigns. I'm a big Reigns fan. I've been a supporter of his for years. I think the [Intercontinental championship] ladder match will be great. There is a lot of stuff on there. I think it's pretty cool NXT is doing a big building before WrestleMania as well, 5,000 seats.

"There are a lot of guys there I would like to work with. I would like to work with [Finn] Bálor. I would like to work with Sami Zayn and [Adrian] Neville. Even [Dean] Ambrose, [Seth] Rollins and Reigns I would like to work with. I would like to work with Daniel Bryan as a heel. I think I can bring something out of him that he hasn't been seen. It is one thing the company really doesn't have is strong heels. Maybe they have strong heels, but not the way Jericho would be if the circumstances were right. That would be interesting to come back as a heel."
