Chris Jericho flies solo to talk about his historic weekend in London! First there was Fozzy’s biggest headlining show ever at the O2 Arena Kentish Town with over 1,000 tickets sold. Then there was his surprise attack appearance at RevPro, followed by the history-making AEW All In London show at Wembley Stadium and Jericho’s 4.75-star rated match against hometown hero, Will Ospreay. Jericho recounts the crazy and incredible weekend and shares tons of behind-the-scenes stories and details including what (or maybe who) inspired him to sing himself to the ring at All In with Fozzy playing live behind him, and pay tribute to the late, great Freddie Mercury of Queen in the process.
