Chris Jericho to get assassinated in 24 hours?
He recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to promote this Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing. During the coversation, the former WWE star revealed a horrifying incident during a WWE tour in Abu Dhabi back in 2012. Eva Marie ‘Pulled’ From WWE In Ring Return
Jericho revealed that he got into a fight with a guy at a club who appeared to take his WWE heel character a bit too seriously. The guy then threatened Chris Jericho by claiming that he had put a $7 million bounty on his head and he’d be assassinated in 24 hours. He said:
“While we were in Abu Dhabi, I think in 2012. Abu Dhabi’s not like Saudi Arabia. There’s a big party scene there and it’s not like a ‘no women allowed’ type of vibe. It’s very much a cool country to go hang out in. We were at a club and some guy was being a loud mouth and I suffer fools likely. So I walk by him and I body checked him into the wall. So I knock the guy down, and he got up and was furious.”
“So later on when we left the club, me and Jake are there, (Mike) Chioda, a couple other cats, Primo and Epico. When we went downstairs he was waiting there with a group of friends. And he said that his dad owned 27% of the country and that he had put a bounty on my head. $7 million bounty, and I’d be dead in 24 hours. I’d be assassinated in 24 hours. So then I went into Larry David mode where I was like ‘$7 million is that good? Is that a high amount? Is that an average amount? Like if I was Brad Pitt, would it be $70 million? If I was the guy down the street would it be $100? What’s it going to be?'” said Chris Jericho.
The former World Heavyweight Champion was courageous enough to face the problem, and not everyone is capable doing facing such an incident.
