WWE Superstar Chris Jericho recently made an appearance on The Other Guys Podcast with Baby Huey and Bimbo Jimbo to talk about his professional wrestling career. Jericho talked about his “Festival Of Friendship” segment with Kevin Owens, where he drew his inspiration from for the angle, and where he ranked it amongst the various other moments in his WWE career. Here are the highlights:
His Festival Of Friendship segment with Kevin Owens:
“I had that idea months earlier, to do a big spectacle with dancing girls and the whole thing, and then it was constantly being changed,” Jericho said. “Even the day of the show it was changed and I didn’t like it and I knew my way was better. I stood up for it, even to the point of calling Vince when he was on a plane in the middle of the air and pitching my case, not taking no for an answer, not allowing my vision to be changed.”
What inspired the segment:
“The ‘Red Wedding’ from Game Of Thrones was something that was really resonating, where you have this brilliant, beautiful and fun moment and then it just goes south in such a quick fashion where you can’t believe it,” Jericho said. “That, to me, was the brilliance of it.”
Where he’d rank the moment amongst the various others in his WWE career:
“It was definitely one of my favorite things that I’ve done, maybe even the crowning jewel of what I’ve done in all these years being in the WWE,” he said.
