Kelly informs that his departure from WWE came about due to budget cuts, and it was just a numbers game that he was on the losing end of. He notes that WWE gave him a nice severance package on his way out and there were no hard feelings whatsoever.
He began working for NJPW a couple of years ago through his connection with ROH. He notes that NJPW has grown considerably over the last 10 years, and it’s been great to be a part of that growth. He had to really work to memorize a lot of details about each performer so he could just rhyme that content off the top of his head during matches. He informs that he knows the finishes of matches prior to calling them, and he likes it that way. He feels that it gives him an advantage in terms of storytelling.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
