In an appearance on Such Good Shoot, Fandango recalled how Chris Jericho didn’t want to wrestle him at WrestleMania 29.
Here is what he had to say:
“I understand Chris’s animosity, his legacy and how much pride he has and the years he’s put in,” Fandango said. “Chris is one of the reasons why I wanted to become a professional wrestler after he debuted WWF. That was around the time I was training. We were huge Chris Jericho fans and the whole conspiracy s–t, all of you guys in wrestling school at the time loved Chris. So he was a big reason why I wanted to be a wrestler.
“So working first major program with him, you know, obviously, you’re nervous, you’re intimidated. And I didn’t want to be a fucking dancer. But I knew that you got to make the best of it. So if I was him I probably wouldn’t be too excited about it too. Maybe he was told he was gonna work someone else which I could see him being pissed off.”
