WWE News: CM Punk Will Not Be On RAW, Chris Jericho Remembers Ultimate Warrior

April 28, 2014 | Posted by Joseph Lee

– In an interview with Bang Showbiz, Chris Jericho brought up his memories of the Ultimate Warrior.

He said: “I only treat people the way that they treat me and I only met Warrior once and he was really gracious and really cool to me back in 1998 in WCW. He was there to do something with Hulk Hogan and I remember I went up to say hi to him and he went, ‘Hey, Chris Jericho, I know you, you’re doing a great job you’re doing some good work.’ I was a nobody at the time and I remember thinking, ‘Wow, the Warrior likes me that totally smokes.’ It made me feel that I must be doing something right and it gave me a little bit of a boost and I always remembered that. He’s definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, I’m glad he got to go in when he was still alive.

I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, ‘What a rip off! That sucks.’ But I remember WrestleMania VI where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent.

– CM Punk was in St. Louis this past weekend tonight to attend the St. Louis Blues vs Chicago Blackhawks NHL playoff game. However, there are zero plans for Punk to return on RAW tonight, which is happening in the city. (Credit: The Wrestling Observer via Wrestlezone)
