The Daily Star out of the United Kingdom has a article online featuring quotes from Chris Jericho. Below are the highlights:

Not worried about his spot in WWE:
"I'm not one of those people who worries about my position. I'm never going to lose my spot. I could work the opening match every night and still be a star."

Youth movement in WWE:
"It's just the way it is - most of the guys in WWE are young guys and green. It's not like it used to be. I spent nine years going all round the place perfecting my craft - now it's nine months."

The Nexus:
"The brilliant thing about the Nexus angle is that we're taking seven guys who have not done a thing and thrown them into the hottest angle they may ever be involved in."

Luna Vachon, who passed away last Friday, was asked to appear at last month's Hardcore Justice pay-per-view.

When Mick Foley learned that her home had burned down, he suggested that TNA Wrestling utilize her to manage Tommy Dreamer against Raven, since in 1995, she was used as Dreamer's second to counteract Stevie Richards.

Vachon declined the offer, citing that she had retired.

Here are some recent Tweets from Matt Hardy's Twitter:

"Hello my friends, hope everyone is doing great! Had to take a couple days to my self to recharge my batteries.. Work has been stressing me.."

"Everybody please tweet @WWE or @WWEUniverse & let them know you wanna see @MATTHARDYBRAND get a d--- opportunity!"

"As u know, I'm extremely passionate about my job-I give everything I have every time I'm in the ring. Its frustrating when its not enough."

"Gotta state this. I'm sick & tired of being 'hurt', being misused, & not being shown the respect that I've earned-something has to change."

"I gotta say this-I love all of my great friends & fans that have stuck with me regardless-THANK YOU! In life, I won't quit. I WILL NOT DIE!"

More kayfabe from Hardy? or actual frustration in place of kayfabe?
