VINCE SENDS HIS BEST TO JERICHO, UPDATE ON JERICHO'S WWE STATUS

A lot of people have been asking how Vince McMahon felt about Chris Jericho going to work for New Japan against Kenny Omega early next year.  Well, today is Jericho's birthday and Vince tweeted the following:

My take on the situation was that due to his relationship with and respect for McMahon, Jericho would have talked to Vince before taking the date.  In fact, I would have been shocked if I were to find out that he didn't.  The word I received was that he cleared the appearance with WWE.

As it turns out Jose Gonzales sent this item just as I was writing this story: Kenny Omega told Tokyo Sports that "Jericho is not full-time, he is still with WWE. Of course, Vince McMahon has give permission."

Happy 47th birthday to Chris.  Man, I feel old.
