Chris Jericho talks about Vince McMahon’s handling of the WCW invasion storyline

During an appearance on Kurt Angle’s podcast, Chris Jericho talked about the WWE Invasion PPV event from 2001 and how Vince McMahon handled the WCW invasion storyline…

“They could have done a million things differently, but it didn’t matter. The thing with WCW is it’s Vince’s company. Pat [Patterson] used to say all the time, ‘It’s Vince’s ice cream shop. Sometimes he wants chocolate, sometimes he wants vanilla. Scoop the fucking ice cream.’ They could have run that Invasion pay-per-view for a year. The Invasion pay-per-view was the highest payoff I ever got in the WWE besides two or three Wrestlemanias. I was in 12 Wrestlemanias and it beat nine of them. That’s how big it was. It was a giant, giant check and it was a 10-man match. Think about that. How much money did that pay-per-view make to pay the 10 guys in the main event that much? So what if that was the first one? Vince wasn’t interested. He’d been at war with WCW for so long. He bought it. He got a big blow-off from it, and he said you’re done, and that was his goal. He wants to kill it, squash it, end it, done. That’s what he did.” (quote courtesy of 411Mania.com)
