Jericho out... for now

ChrisJericho.com has a letter/press release from Chris Jericho on his break from the WWE. He had a "You're Fired" match with WWE Champ John Cena last week and was well - fired. Or so they say. Actually word is his contract with WWE was up at Summerslam and he had it extended to last Monday to finish with the "You're Fired" match.
Anyways, its an interesting read. Basically boils down to Y2J needing to recharge his batteries. He doesn't give any type of timeline for his return, but you can bet it will be big when he does come back.
And for those wondering, here's a list of his favorite matches:
