During a recent episode of Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast, Y2J and his guest Dave Meltzer, discussed Chris Benoit’s wrestling career. During their conversation, Jericho revealed that once upon a time, he was almost cast as Chris Benoit’s little brother, considering the two “looked so much alike”.
Here’s an excerpt from that particular portion of the podcast: (transcript by Still Real To Us)
“When I first started in Calgary I was training at the Silver Dollar Action Center with Lance Storm and a cast of miscreants that will never be heard from again and there was a local promoter called Bob Puppets, that was actually his real name believe it or not and he said he was gonna book me on my first show and he said he wanted to call me Rob Benoit, Chris Benoit’s little brother, because he thought I looked like him so much.”
