I do believe the real Chris Jericho was abducted sometime in early 2019 and an alien Jericho imposter was sent back here right around the time the AEW contract was signed. That would explain a lot!

[@NickB283]

In all seriousness, I remember Jericho saying this on his podcast a few years back. Georges St. Pierre said a very similar story about “lost time” and believing aliens might have abducted him. I believe it was on Joe Rogan’s show. Joe told him “ no man, lost time is super common for people that have had nasty concussions.” Plenty of concussed people have driven around aimlessly, lost sense of time, forgotten where their own houses are, etc., and mma fighters and wrestlers probably get undiagnosed concussions all the time. Yes, the possible alien abduction idea is really funny, but there’s a much simpler, and more unfortunate explanation.

[@nickhughes8179]

Wow, that coming from Joe Rogan as opposed to being eager to explore the possibility of Extra Terrestrials?? That’s a sign JeriCrashPad, that’s a flashing neon sign.

[@whildhair83]

Next thing you know he'll blame the aliens for the atrocious aew booking

[@travismarshall3089]

I remember Y2J telling this to Ambrose on his podcast years ago about how this happened to him in Canada when he was breaking in. No cell phone or GPS, folks...

[@LadyDragonsblood]

Yes, he did. And that wasn't the first time he'd told the story.

[@xylsky1300]

But drugs have existed longer than that

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@xylsky1300 Not sure what drugs have to do with anything. Actually, many people have reported to have "missing time" periods. They were not doing drugs or drinking. I find it quite fascinating. There are different theories... and aliens being only one. There is a reflex that takes over, especially when doing something monotonous. Have you never been driving, then suddenly wondered how you got where you were? Usually it only lasts a few seconds, or can be a few minutes. I have actually done that. It is interesting to study. Maybe he had an extended episode of it....who knows.

[@LadyDragonsblood]

@@xylsky1300 I remember now what it is called.... transient global amnesia

[@QAZ-OMEN]

Jericho wants to go see a therapist to figure out what happened with the aliens. He must b binge watching to many old X Files

[@tempestfennac9687]

I'm not saying that it's definitely not an abduction but I have to agree with Jim's comment about a brain scan being higher priority than seeing a hypnotist (besides, one huge problem with relying on hypnosis for figuring out what happened during missing time is that it's very easy to plant false memories; one experiment involved people being hypnotised and asked about a pizza party they went to the day before and, even though the test subjects hadn't eaten pizza, they went into great detail about what happened).

[@tempestfennac9687]

Well. If I didn't respect Pro-Wrestlers before I most definitely do now because hell knows to go from being a relatively intelligent & reasonable guy like Jericho was between 1996 & 2006 to being a raving, conservative conspiracy theorist lunatic that isn't even competent at his own profession with him thinking A.E.W's glorified gymnastics, as transparently fake as you can possibly get video game inspired wrestling moves with so much obvious cooperation they may as well skip around & sing "tootie frootie" as well as death match & self-trained outlaw wrestler horseshit is a master work in the art of wrestling & wrestling psychology, his brain must have taken quite a bit of punishment from the rigors of wrestling because it's obviously Jell-O now.

In the vein of the Rodman story here’s another one for you. A local scumbag told his wife he was going canoeing down a local river alone.

He and a woman are in the canoe naked and engaged in carnal activities. He is on his back and as they pass under the bridge. He looks up and sees his wife staring angrily at them. His response? He asked her “Who you going to believe? Me or your eyes?” Lol
