Liger recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated about various topics. During the interview, he was asked about his match with Breeze at the event and why he never had a run in WWE.
"I was too old to stay with WWE. I wanted my spot to go to a younger wrestler. I watch a little of WWE. I wrestled Chris Jericho in Japan. He is very, very good. That is no joke. He is a very good wrestler, and I respect him. I watch Chris Jericho to learn for my own matches. He has great conditioning, he can wrestle every day. Jericho is great, and everyone is so professional in WWE. Any wrestler should wrestle there if they have the chance."
Liger was in WCW during the Monday Night Wars. When asked about that time, he brought up how he knew Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero from their time in NJPW.
"I already knew some of the wrestlers from WCW. Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero worked in New Japan Pro Wrestling, so they knew the style very well. I wasn't great in WCW, but my opponents were. Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, and Eddie Guerrero were three of the greatest wrestlers of all time. I really fell in love with wrestling when I wrestled with Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko. We were young, hungry, and created so many memories. When I look back on those memories, I still feel my heart beat faster. Those were my happiest days in wrestling."
