Dang i remember a clip where Jericho talks about this but now I can't find it anywhere. He said he got so drunk, he threw up and passed out. They landed, he woke up and cleaned himself off and got off the plane. Jericho, Nash and Hogan were walking thru the airport and decided to go to airport bar or one or those VIP lounges. While there, Jericho started smelling something really bad, and then realized it was him; he still had vomit all over the side of his pants. Hogan told him "oh brother, u been stinking for awhile" and Jericho asked 'Well why didnt u tell me!?' and Hogan went "Oh it was funny as hell, brother" 🤣

[@travisbrantner8071]

Can I mention the irony that Kevin says about the wrestling business died with Eddie/Chris and vanilla midgets, but his best friends in the business included Shawn who was small at the time and Syxx/Pac who was very small. However, looking at the comments and interviews since and the fact he worked with TNAs X division and CM Punk and such in the WWE, I feel like he was taking a shot more at the guys with no personality that didn't stand out and was maybe working people a bit. I always feel like Nash is a cool, down to earth guy who loves wrestling, but always looked at it as a job instead of being a mark for himself and taking it all seriously.

[@jesse2214]

Jericho has 100x the personality as Pac.

[@mikeburch5201]

So Brett Hart in my opinion is one of the best wrestlers of his generation. Probably nobody took their job as a wrestler more serious than Brett. So with your comment I'm curious if you think Brett Hart was a So called Mark? I feel like that word is used by alot of people who don't understand the definition of that word when it comes to wrestling. Just my opinion. I'm not saying you don't understand it but I'm curious if you think Brett was a Mark?

Business was down when Eddie was the champion and he felt personally responsible for that. If I'm not mistaken he asked to lose the belt.

[@noneayabizness]

@@retronerds6884 oh hi Mark! Lol Believable is a funny word when you're talking about pro wrestling. They're all supposed to be "skilled masters" of their craft. The whole idea of fake fighting is based on entertaining a crowd and the David vs Goliath story is always gonna have entertainment value. Was it believable when a smaller HBK beat a much larger Sid? Or when Bret beat a much larger Diesel or Yokozuna? Was it believable when Jeff Hardy or RVD almost beat the Undertaker? How about when the Undertaker rose from the dead... Was that believable? Finn Balor is possessed by a demon and Matt Hardy can sometimes teleport. Braun Strowman flipped an ambulance with his bare hands. But the idea of Ricochet floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee... just being too damn quick for Bobby Lashley get a hold of is too much to take? That's just silly

@@noneayabizness names not mark, it is fake fighting most definitely but it still has to have some form of believability Shawn Michaels isn't a small guy and as a sid fan sid should've won that he was over with the crowd the first heel to do so Jeff Hardy and rvd also aren't small guys either undertaker rising from the dead was cool as hell and Finn Balor being possessed by a demon and beating Bobby lashley had no form of believability behind it Kurt angle beating people like the undertaker is believable seeing as that he's a gold medalists sting beating Hogan or Nash is also believable on and yes Braun Strowman has flipped a car, mark Henry has lifted a car , bobby lashley has flipped a car ricochet being too fast for Bobby lashley to catch would make sense if bobby lashley didn't have a background of him being a gun shot away from the Olympics the David ang Goliath can be entertaining but only when it makes sense and has some form of believability to it

When Eddie and Chris won the heavy weight title it killed the legitimacy of it. Guys who are 5'9 or shorter have no business winning that title.
