Once upon a time, former WWE Superstar and current AEW wrestler Chris Jericho confronted Brock Lesnar. This confrontation happened after the end of the 2016 SummerSlam PLE.
The Beast had busted Randy Orton wide open, and the match ended in a no contest. Jericho believed that Lesnar attacked Orton on purpose, and thus, Chris Jericho confronted Lesnar.
The Ocho shared some insight on the confrontation during his interview with Chris Van Vliet.
“No. The switch flipped and I was like, ‘F*ck it, I don’t care.’ I remember just looking at him and it’s like, ‘If he hits me, I’m gonna bite his nose off.’ And he would have killed me. Thankfully we didn’t get in a fight. But that was my… Couple of people tried to (break the fight) and we told them to f*ck off and finally, Vince made us stop. He was gonna fire us,” Chris Jericho said.
Chris Jericho does not care about being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame
While speaking on the same podcast, the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion shared his honest thoughts about potentially being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
“I always like going against the grain. Like I loved it when Axl Rose didn’t show up to the Hall of Fame and sent a note saying not only am I not showing up, but you’re not allowed to say my name,” Jericho said. “I love that sh*t. Like, that’s f*cking rock and roll, man. So I don’t really understand the point of a Hall of Fame. If you think I’m in it, that’s great. There’s no real Hall of Fame. It’s all kind of in WWE’s mind, in their chambers of the mind.
“It doesn’t really matter if I’m in it or not. You go up there and give some approved speech where you have five minutes to fcking encapsulate 33 years. Because I was at the Hall of Fames when you had, Hillbilly Jim talking for 45 minutes. Fcking hell, dude. You’re on Saturday Night’s Main Event once you don’t have a lot to say,” Jericho noted. “Nothing against Hillbilly Jim Yeah, he’s a cool guy. And he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. and then you get the frickin Undertaker. And he gets 15 minutes. I’m not interested in that at this point. And like I said, it’s not a disrespectful thing. It’s just like, I don’t really see the benefits of it. And I kind of like doing the opposite things.”
