Former Democratic Presidential candidate, Andrew Yang, pulls no punches when it comes to the WWE and how they treat their talent! He explains why, as a life-long wrestling fan, it’s so important for him to fight this battle, what he plans to do, and how he hopes it will change things! He also talks about his first introduction to wrestling, his favorite performers and matches, and what he loves about AEW. Plus, Andrew shares his thoughts on social media and why he feels it needs to be regulated, explains his universal income idea, and how a pilot program is already positively impacting participants’ lives, and speaks to supporting Joe Biden and serving as an advisor to Joe and the campaign.
I agree with him. He doesn’t hate wrestling. He hates what Vince McMahon has done to wrestling
Exactly, poor management.
@@michaelaburns734 Vince need to give WWE to Triple H and his kids because I know they will change it for the better
@@jberryhill2 Shane has good ideas Vince don't allow him to use it
Vince needs to go.
@@jberryhill2 He won't give up until his death. He doesn't work with his Son in Law. Vince McAsshole would be embarrassed to see his son in law run the company better. He is killing WWE with him. JDFROMNY206 confirms that from past OTS's (Off The Scripts.)
I just love it when the most random people who look like they straight up don't know about wrestling turn out to be such passionate wrestling fans
Looks can be deceiving.
Smartest mark ever.
Wrestling has perhaps the most diverse fan base
Well, Andrew was young too. Lol
Almost everyone used to be a fan, it was everywhere, then it fell and now it's some crappy niche industry
Wow, incredible to see Jericho interview Andrew Yang. The crossover is amazing.
Did you say that when he had Don on
Truly
AEW SHILL DETECTED
Surprising since Jericho is a Trump supporter but it's all about trashing the WWE to Chris which I don't mind lol
@@OrlyYaRlyK sorta but even Jericho has admitted that the contract shenangins wwe does are horrible.
He makes me like him more daily. How Biden won but not Yang highlights everything wrong in the US.
dont worry corona will still get the US because some individuals claim to have the right to not give a fuck about others well being. the usual i am the most important in the room business
Yes
Cuz he asain oof
@@stashallemagne4488 I mean it's s shitty thing to do, but yeah...you do have a right to do it. No one's "claiming" anything.
@@stashallemagne4488So much for corona getting the US
I was voting for yang for president until he dropped out. Hope he keeps trying and following his dreams. Need ppl like him.
The fact that Andrew Yang knows about the Monday night wars.......jeez can this guy get any better?
Yeah, he can understand how money works
A lot of people know about the Monday Night War, wrestling has gone downhill ever since
Monday night wars were a big thing.
Controversy creates cash
He also wears shoes and enjoys pizza?
Internet folks describing everyone then acting like they're rare
I really hope Andrew Yang won't stop pursuing this issue. Someone really should lead and start the change so the talents will have the balls to speak up. We don't want retired wrestlers making a GoFundMe page when WWE should have taken care of retirement benefits and giving their royalty checks. If they're truly independent contractors, they should be treated as such and be allowed to use their free time on twitch, youtube, act or host. It's time for the wrestlers given what they deserve when they've sacrificed and risked their body. So many wrestlers died so young.
Anyone trying to excuse and defend WWE is a stupid idiot who do not care for the talents and the wrestling industry.
I hope he does get in. This is crucial for the future talent of WWE. It needs to be uncorrupted.
You do realize that AEW treats its wrestlers the same as WWE? AEW wrestlers are considered independent contractors (so they don't get the benefits that come with being an employee), AEW wrestlers don't get retirement benefits, AEW wrestlers don't get health insurance. If anything, WWE is better because they offer free rehab to anyone who ever worked for them.
@@TJSpyke no, they're not the same as AEW treat their "independent contractors" legitimately when the talents can do indie bookings, do twitch, cameo anything they want. AEW pays for all travel expenses book the flight, hotel and pick up their talents unlike in WWE where superstars need to spend for hotel and book their own car.
Some talents in AEW also have access to health insurance if they're hired to do an office/backstage work.
So no, they're not the same. WWE is claiming their superstars are independent contractors on paper only when they basically own their superstars who cannot even take sidelines like Twitch/cameo.
@@cello983 @cielo l lol, typical AEW fanboy. WWE pays their wrestlers a lot more. WWE also pays expenses for some wrestlers. AEW wrestlers have to do outside gigs for the money. And AEW only pays for the expenses of overseas talent
@@TJSpyke did you even listen to the episode? Jericho says himself its crazy how he had to pay for everything, travel wise, in the wwe. But aew takes care of it all for him. He said because of the Jacksonville Jaguars background, aew talent gets treated more like a sports team than the "youre on your own" wwe system
Respect to Chris for giving Andrew a platform to voice his opinion 👏
I'm here after Zelina Vega was supposedly fired or released for supporting unionization for the wrestlers and divas.
Let's not forget the old WWF days where good old Vince went out of his way to keep live TV shows from being staged in Oregon. For years, they were the only state to call BS on the SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT label and still demand the "Entertainers" to take automatic drug tests!🇵🇷😎🤔🦂
@@JoseMorales-lw5nt indeed Vince McMahon is been known for his drug allegations and a steroid accusations and don't get me started with the sexual assault allegation when that's going to change the company question is never hopefully it will happen sooner or later
@Fucker 69 These people don't understand that if the wrestling business was unionized, then wrestlers will be paid less. Unions go by tenure and not ”draw.” Not only that, but they're paid big money already because they cover the rest of the expenses. These people act like wrestlers who work for WWE are poor. They're well above the middle class.
Here after CM Punk was fired for drawing good money for AEW, helping young talents and ofc trying to confront Jack Perry to stop him from hurting himself.
When I thought the series of *TALK IS JERICHO* couldn't get any better, here comes Jericho inviting Andrew Yang as a guest. Color me impressed.
I know Yang position is very vocal against Vince McMahon's way of running the business, but in this specific video it seems more like Jericho is slamming WWE than Andrew
Everyone I’ve ever loved I pushed them all away
@@MediCali951 Yes
Whats not to slam after the twitch nonsense
Does it really matter a difference? Vince deserves to be slammed left and right because of the heinous business decisions he's made over the years, especially with the Twitch thing
@@AliAsif303 especially with the Owen Hart and Chris Benoit thing. Just left those guys families in the dust
I got to watch this one. He wants to end WWE's Monopolization.
I think WWE should be given To Paul Heyman or Triple H or Steve Austin, that would be far better than this PG TRASH
And presenting the same product that PWG and ROH produce with added indy horsehit redish is the way to do it? If it was the ROH would have already done it. TNA would have already done it. Its almost as if the millions and millions that used to watch dont want WWE, ROH, AEW or TNA and I don't fucken blame them. Mark shows produced for less than 1 million marks that watch wrestling no matter what it is or how good it is. Khan pissed away any chance he had to breaking the monopoly because he's a mark and only cares about fluffing the Young Bucks.
Bookmark this and come back in a year when AEW has been moved to a 2 am Sunday night slot and then cancelled with 6 months.
@@6steveo9 wow. Very thoughtful. How optimistic you are.
@@FitPatton When Im presented with the product that AEW and WWE are offering and its the same lame duck shit that most wrestling promotions have been doing in one form or another over the last 20 years......coinciding with the top shows losing nearly 6 million viewers, you're damn right I'm not excited for the future. That ain't a coincidence. They are literally Einsteins definition of insanity at this point. If you think Vince is worried about AEW then you all have another thing coming. The only thing Vince is competing with at this point in his long, long life is himself. Now, if he'd turned on the first AEW tv and seen a believable, well thought out, logical, serious presentation.....ya know instead of the legless man beating up 200 pound men.......he might have got worried. Somehow I think he probably laughed and went back to pushing weights.
@@6steveo9 njpw is pretty good compared to this shows
Andrew Yang & JeriGOAT are able to cross paths, this life isn't so bad after all 😂 great souls
Well Vince has had a monopoly on wrestling in the US for almost 40 years. He's crushed any attempts for unionization and for wrestlers to have rights. Its no shock Vince would be shitting his pants if Andrew Yang can actually help give wrestlers some kinda power.
Thank you for explaining this.
I don't see AEW offering wrestlers health insurance, or retirement benefits, or unionization, etc. AEW doesn't treat its wrestlers any better than WWE.
@@TJSpyke wwe has several times more money than aew. aew already said it hopes to offer healthcare and pay for travel when they can afford it
@@bakedizzle24 AEW is owned by Shahid Khan, who also owns the Jacksonville Jaguars and Premier League team Fullham. He has a net worth of $8 billion, he's the 234th richest person in the world. AEW can afford it, they just don't want to. The only reason his other athletes have insurance is because they have unions and force him to give them insurance
@@TJSpyke aew is 1 year old vs wwe which pretty much had a monopoly on american pro wrestling for 20 yrs and they still don't offer any benefits to their wrestlers, I was wrong before. AEW does pay for their talent's travel. Healthcare will more than likely come before WWE even has the balls to admit they've been exploiting their talent.
more people like Andrew Yang need to open their eyes to the WWE & Vince McMahon how they mistreat their talent,they dont care about fans or their own talent,theyve gotten away with it for so long,something needs to be done,AEW is a place you want to work for
Andrew Yang, a wrestling fan? I'm impressed. 😀😀
More like surprised
Not a smart one though, considering he doesn't seem to realize that AEW doesn't treat it's wrestlers any better than WWE
@@TJSpyke u might be a little off on that statement for instance a hell of a lot more creative freedom in AEW Instead of following Writers and Vince’s plans only
@@justindrost4537 I'm talking about stuff that actually matters, like salary and benefits. This would be like you saying your job treats you better because you have a coffee machine in your break room
What's impressive about it?
I did not know AEW covered travel expenses, that is so awesome. Another reason for me to love this promotion. Plus Andrew Yang being a fan was a cool fact, I had no idea.
I never thought Andrew Yang and Jericho would share a platform together. I admire these guys for what they do in their fields.
Yang loves WWE he is right, management should treat the wrestlers better!
AEW! I can finally watch wrestling without feeling dirty!
Only if you bury your head in the sand. AEW doesn't treat its wrestlers any better than WWE. AEW doesn't offer it's wrestlers health insurance, retirement benefits, unionization, or any other benefit that comes with being an employee.
@@TJSpyke they treat their wrestlers way better stop it
@@philo2189 lol, stop drinking the AEW kool aid. Not only do they pay their wrestlers less, but they also give them fewer benefits
@@philo2189 lol, no they don't. Stop drinking the AEW kool aid
@@TJSpyke Don’t have children ok
WWE bots will COMMENCE on this comment section as if Jericho was still Y2J living in the past as per usual. UA-cam is a funny thing.
Walls of Jericho vs The Judas Effect
Yang and Jericho = the real mega powers
Dang I knew it was bad for wrestlers, but big names like Chris Jericho had to get rentals?!? Also thumbs up for Yang getting even cooler somehow
Almost everyone has to get rentals, that's how the top names travelled too, they just got nicer rentals
Get em Yang!
I know who Vince is voting for
Considering his wife was on Trump's presidential re-election campaign and was in his Cabinet? Yeah, he's definitely voting for his good friend Trump.
He’s been voting for tru...trash....
And I am SICK OF HIM AND I REFUSE TO HAVE ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF BS! I quit WWE because of mistreatment of talent and retired from WWE.
@@michaelaburns734 Who are you
@@jberryhill2 Someone who wants to be respected and help citizens regardless of class. Citizens over country first. People are in desperation of help. I refuse to see people fall to government's incompetence.
Stay on him Andrew Yang! These wrestlers deserve better!
Theres an episode of John Oliver from like 4 years ago all about the way wwe treats its employees, if you haven't seen it yet its on UA-cam
It was last year just before WrestleMania 35.
@@MobinKiadeh word up!
If Biden wins, I really hope Yang gets a spot in the cabinet.
If Biden wins he will push for another war
@@darmon931 Random non-sequitur, but ok.
@@frausteiner8615 it's all good brother vote trump and have more money in your pocket
@@darmon931 Yeah, his recession did wonders for the economy. Then he followed it up with the failure to handle covid, which made me even richer.
@@frausteiner8615 american was never handling covid
Born in 1975, yang looks younger than his age
Asian
asian genes youth lol
The fact that yang is a wrestling fan is just icing on the cake man I can’t wait to vote for him in 2024
Yang had bad things to say about wwe. Jericho: say no more your on the podcast 😂😂
Say bad things? Or truthful things about wwe that happened to be bad?
@@Nick-7 Jericho likes airing anything anti-WWE.
@@Nick-7 it was a joke
@@TheDemonCaine well he can’t have anyone from WWE on his podcast anymore - Vince has put the lockdown on his talent from any podcast the WWE has NO CONTROL over.
@@TheDemonCaine He wants to fix WWE. Vince McAsshole wouldn't let him.
I love Talk is Jericho
But like Jericho said that’s how wrestling has been for over 60 years , AEW is just the first to treat them like that
Yang Gang!!!
it's not normal that many wrestlers die too young from mental illness, drug problems, medication problems, suicide, heart failure. And the worst are the stories of discarded wrestlers who developed health problems rendering them wheelchair bound that have been left completely forgotten by the WWE.
You know I'm middle of the road on the political spectrum. Have views that swing left and right. I usually don't like most Dems or Reps, but this guy I can get behind.
Wow! So amazed to see this!
Andrew Yang the baby face of democrat along with Tulsi.
Tulsi/Yang 2024 would be easily electable. I think they could gain a ton of republican voters.
@@BodaciousBob66 Yes, because Republicans will abandon their values and views because some politician on the other side is more admirable than the rest of that side. I hope you get the sarcasm.
I'm not team red or blue - but he should really think about running as independent come next election. A Gabbard/Yang would be good booking for a independent run.
Too bad both of them bent the knee to endorse Biden after saying how awful he was. That was the end of their political integrity.
You supporting that Russian asset Gabbard means your opinion is worthless.
Any independent running will immediately be labeled as a russian trojan horse, like what happened to Jill Stein. They will also be blamed for taking away votes from [random] party, be undermined by the mainstream media, etc. It's a very uphill battle.
Facts I love Gabbard
@@hawk0187ify what about her do you love? Her being friends with war criminal Bashar al-Assad? Or her being very pro-Russia? Her supporting Armenia illegally occupying parts of Azerbaijan? Her anti-muslim views? Her being a DINO? She declined to run for reelection because she knew she was gonna lose in a primary
Great interview. I love when people talk about debt because very few actually understand it. The dollar is a fiat currency based off reversed fractional banking aka debt. The dollar today is backed literally by debt not gold, silver etc... We owe more in debt than what is currently in circulation (which is by design and the point). As long as we remain in debt to the FED they remain in power. Our current system literally is designed to force poverty. When you take a loan out from the bank 1 it's actually fraud and the bank breaks the elements of a contract 2 when you take a loan out what do you do with the money? You put it in the bank... even if it is a different bank this happens so frequently it evens itself out. This is where things heat up... - Banks can legally print up to 9X what they have to lend (which due to legal bullshit is more like 90× but I'll leave that for later) so if you take a loan out of your bank for $100K than not pay it back does the bank receive any injuries or damage??? NO they actually made a profit because they made $800,000 From your transaction. What gives the loan value is your promise to pay it back. Ever noticed that your NAME is always capitalized when related to banking or Government (IDs, SS card, Credit and Debt cards etc...) this is not by accident in law it is capitis deminutio maxima. Your NAME capitalized is not actually you but a legal fiction (strawman, artificial person, corporation name etc...) created by your parents signing your birth certificate (which is a certificate of manifest because you are property... cattle) so a contract you never signed controls your finances. Look into John Witterick he explains how to use this information to your benefit and scam the scammers... Think of your NAME as your token (like monopoly) to play the game.
Whoa
Andrew Yang CONTINUES to amaze and impress me, absolutley great music taste, political opinions (obv) and didn’t know he was a wrestling fan, this is just awesome
Andrew yang is JERICHOOOOO...
I'm glad that AEW is treating the talent right. I can only hope it goes up from here.
Haha, another AEW fanboy. Why doesn't AEW offer health insurance to its wrestlers? Or pensions? Or Social Security benefits? Or unionization? Or unemployment benefits?
@@TJSpyke Calm. Down. Broseidon....lord of the Brocean.
@@TJSpyke because they're independent contractors and treat them as such, unlike WWE. Plenty of AEW talent also wrestles in New Japan, NWA, Etc.
@@matthewscott7740 because they financially have to. WWE pays their wrestlers enough that they don't need to wrestle anywhere else
@@TJSpyke they also have much more creative control, as evidenced by what went down on Dynamite, last night.
Yang needs to talk to Jesse Ventura!
The way wwe treats their wrestlers is how the democratic party treated Andrew yang
You tried.
1985 was the start of being a wrestling fan. Hulk Hogan, Big John Studd, Rowdy, Rowdy Piper, Andre The Giants, etc....... Those were the stars of that day and that era.
This is why there needs to be some sort of wrestler's union.
worst part of the travel arrangements is that everyone must do it. Even if they know there's no plans for them to be on the show that night. You have to make your way from town to town on your own dime knowing that there's the big tv show and 2 untelevised nights and unless your in the top 1\3rd of talent you'll only work one of those nights for 5 minutes.
Hope he goes after wwe, things need to change. I was all into wwe but they do shady stuff in wwe.
kids always say to former wwe wreslters "when are you coming back to wwe".
me: SMH Everytime
That's crazy I didn't know that they have to pay for the hotel they have to pay for car rentals comes out of your pocket but they do get big contracts so they do get big money to compensate so that I guess that's the trade-off so the trade-off is they get big money but yes. Pay for your own way still sounds crazy you should be the officer issue should be the company taking care of that it's crazy at the end of the day sooner or later WWE is going to have to change their formula the way how they handle things in business
Glad you can see from the performers POV.
Everything Yang whines about WWE doing, AEW does the SAME thing. Why isn't Yang complaining about AEW not offering health insurance, social security, etc. to its wrestlers?
It's stuff like this that makes wrestlers notorious cheapskates. share a ride, make more money. sleep on a couch, make more money.
The top tier guys make big bucks , but the majority of them only make $100, 000 / year. Still sounds like a decent amount, but not really once you take expenses in to account never mind the fact that it's a short career due to the abuse on their bodies.
@@brianbenoit6883 the wrestlers starting out in the company doesn't make $100,000 as that is mid tier talent level pay. The travel and hotel is deductible on taxes. A lot of the talent also have travel, car and hotel rewards cards with them.
#YangGang representttttt
The next mayor of NYC.
Lol the goat got a US president candidate on a talk show . Let’s go
The Jaguars must have a time machine to come play in St. Louis. 🤔
Jags entered the NFL in 95,the same year Rams moved to St Louis...
Yang was on his knees inhaling Whipped Cream and his Staffers had to tell him to stop!
Who else is here because of CVV?
Regardless of who is having Andrew Yang on, the need for other entertainment options and more effectively run companies has never been so strong.
Is AEW REALLY that different from WWE when they also classify their wrestlers as "Independent Contractors" and also don't have a union? Yeah they may pay some expenses for wrestlers but only do the top stars get to work for other companies and that's only sparingly
And for those who don’t like that Toni Khan allows these guys to do Indy shows, get over it. That’s what an independent contractor is, they’re not stuck to one place. I’m pretty sure the wrestlers themselves are the ones who choose to do outside events. And aren’t some of them actual employees in AEW?
Yang gang
Good morning Jericho!!!
The devil works hard but Jericho works harder
It's like if Jericho has become Judas in his mind.
The break up from wwe is bitter for Jericho.
I fucking love Andrew Yang
This is the only time using "slam" in a headline is appropriate
The problem with WWE is that it has lost it's passion. No competition, lame storylines, bland wrestlers, it resembles WCW in the late 90's.
Yang2Jericho yo!
Jericho talks about yang being a presidential candidate interested in wrestling being a big deal. Never mind the present president is a WWE hof
What the difference btwn wrestling and boxing?
God Dammit Chris, this guy doesnt gaf about US, he is a politician.
You see these guys and girls after events leaving the parking lot waving and thanking everyone for coming out. I always wonder why are they driving these small compact cars with 4-5 piled up in them. Leaving with 2 to 3 plates from catering in there hands. Now I know why make me respect AEW even more now for what the Khan family is doing for there talent.
If I was in WWE I'd just hitchhike everywhere and let the person who drove me be in my walk out and hit a pose if they wanted. I'd go with like a Huck Finn gimmick.
I dont like how AEW calls manager's coaches.
I'm a little surprised that he says "like" this much. I'd have thought he'd have had that voice coached out of him.
#yanggang
Would love to see Andrew Lang as the President of the United States at some point.
course for longest time wwe doing so many shows, aew doing one a week does make it easier to pay wrestlers expenses, but yeah wwe does make wrestlers pay crazy amount of expenses
Generally a wwe wrestler earns more than an aew wrestler right? After deducting hotel and car rental expenses.
If Trump doesn't win and Biden win's. Mr, Andrew Yang could literally start a campaign to bring benfits to companies like AEW, ROH, Impact Wrestling and many other Pro Wrestling companies from around America. Benifits for everything. From Travel to Health benfits. Just imagine if that could happen. I wonder what Vincent Kennedy McMahon would think about that. Lol Would love to see it.
Have a heart attack. It's like Roman Empires West and East halves. The Western Roman Empire fell fast because they stuck in the old ways and fell. The Eastern Roman still lived.

Don’t hate pro wrestling because it fake, only hate Vince because of what he does to WWE and it’s stupid and boring.
Wasn’t he the candidate that wanted to give everyone a $1,000?
Low income family that need help. But if that how u see most of murica. Sure
@@demoth exactly. Low income families need that assistance. My parents and I have been living in a motel for the last 3 years because my dad's had more money taken out of his income taxes under Trump, and he makes less than 40,000 a year. Andrew Yang fucking rocks
@@Shay_Mendez that’s not true about trump sorry for your family misfortune .
@@michaelperez5172 Think about the Titanic situation. WWE saved the rich and lower classes drown. Not good at all results for trust. Vince McAsshole is senile and wants to live in the past. Times are changing and he can attempt but eventually he will fall.
@@Shay_Mendez im sure there's more to the story....
Shouldn't this be called Jericho slams WWE and Yang agrees? lol
Why are people acting like it’s only WWE that treats their wrestlers like crap. AEW is right there with them. The only difference is AEW lets their talent wrestle elsewhere. I don’t see AEW pushing for unions or health insurance.
Wait. Aren't AEW wrestlers still classified as independent contractors? Do the actual wrestlers get insurance and such?
#YouGottaWinThemOver
Wow Jimmy Wang Yang is all growed up
Why didn’t yang run for president or let alone VP
Better than the Biden/Harris tandem
Jericho don't hold anything back about the WWE.
If Jericho is serious about taking care of fellow wrestlers he should head a union
Yeah it really is that simple too. I wonder if they already have a union in AEW.
@@goodbrothermusic2740 i whole heartedly doubt it because meltzer would've wrote a billion articles and done a million podcasts singing the praises
@Grant Kerr I meant it would be VERY simple for AEW to form a union. You just, do it.
A man who cares about talent and the business is a man I respect.
@Grant Kerr Time will tell.
As much as i hate wwe they are better in the professional front especially when injuries happen in the ring.
Thought it was Ming from Comic Book Man
It’s a shame how the wrestlers in WWE are treated like such jokes on television, you got great talent but Vince and the writers put them in horrible dumb ass storylines , like that Retribution bullshit what is that shit ? WWE stopped being wrestling about 15 years ago or so , NXT is the only good thing they have going and even NXT hasn’t been that great this year .
Let me get this straight. Yang is a wrestling fan, but he can't see through all the phonies in Washington D C. Pelly 3:16
There was no "slamming" of wwe atleast not by Yang
Voted for Andrew Yang as a write in candidate for president. #YangGang !!!
are not aew wrestlers independent contractors? ...little unclear on this
Tony khan gives them health insurance though
jericho talks about wwe again? cant he just focus on....aew for example? to thrive and improve their product instead of focusing on wwe,yang think his the underdog but he's not.
You don't make any sense
Yang & Tulsi are the only 2 president worthy Dems
