Chris Jericho explains why WWE comedy doesn’t work

Chris Jericho is one of the very few stars who has been relevant in the wrestling world for so long and his ability to adopt different characters and work in different situations has helped him stay on top of the wrestling business for almost 3 decades.

 


 

One such skill which has helped the former world champion in diversifying his character is his understanding of humour and his unmatchable comic timing.

During his recent appearance on the Keeping It 100 podcast, the former WWE star talked about the company’s recent attempts at comedy and he explained why the WWE comedy doesn’t work anymore:

“My view of comedy is you always play it straight, WWE comedy is d–k and fart jokes. That’s why a lot of it doesn’t work well. Don’t try to be funny. Because when you try to be funny it’s never funny. And that’s been my attitude with all these segments.”

Apart from this Chris Jericho also talked about a number of other things such as drug use in current wrestling. You can check out his comments on the matter at this link.
