Shhhhh… “the Librarian” Peter Avalon was Chris Jericho’s latest guest on Talk is Jericho. The interview was recorded before AEW Dynamite premiered on TNT but was just released recently. During the conversation, Avalon detailed the origin of the Librarian gimmick.
“At a Bar Wrestling show, we were downstairs at the Bootleg. I was with Ray Rosas and we were getting ready to have our match and Cody came downstairs and so did the Young Bucks and they wanted to speak with me, and they had this idea and they pitched this Librarian idea to me. And then we just stayed connected and eventually I had a contract emailed to me,” Avalon said on the show.
Peter Avalon On Meeting the Young Bucks
Avalon also detailed his first meeting with the Young Bucks during his conversation with Chris Jericho. According to Avalon, the Bucks were causing quite a disturbance in the library the first time they met.
“The Young Bucks were in the library reading their book to a series of kindergarteners. I came up and told them that they have to stop throwing kicks at other librarians. Then we just started connecting, we stayed connected, they stopped super-kicking my additional librarians and we just stayed connected and here I am.”
“They have kicked kids, they have kicked librarians, its something else,” Avalon continued.
He would later detail the actual story:
“I was fortunate enough to meet the Young Bucks at a training when I was first training 6 months into my training. They came to a couple of classes and we rolled around and we kind of stayed connected.”
