Chris Jericho was recently interviewed by Viktre. During the interview, he was asked what it was like to win his first WWE Championship. Most wrestling fans know that Jericho defeated the Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to become the first-ever: Undisputed WWF Champion back in 2001.
It turns out that Jericho’s night after winning the title wasn’t as glorious as you may have expected.
Jericho revealed that he found out he was winning the title at catering during a conversation between Vince McMahon & The Undertaker:
“Weird. That is a crazy thought. I was told in the afternoon that I was going to win when Vince McMahon said to The Undertaker at the catering table: “Hey ‘Taker, how do you know the business is going down the toilet? Because we’re putting the belt on Jericho” and that’s how I found out I was going to be the champion”
Jericho also revealed that the night he won the title was memorable but for the wrong reasons:
“I came back through the curtain, everyone was gone because when you’re on last everybody leaves to get out of the traffic quicker. Sat there by myself and then drove to a hotel where room service stopped at midnight, it was 11:58. They wouldn’t serve it, so I got pizza. They wouldn’t bring it to my room, so I had to go down to the lobby to get it. When I went back up, I was locked out. Went back down to the lobby, the guy wouldn’t let me in even though I just checked in a few minutes earlier. Dropped the pizza on the floor when he finally did let me in. So, I spent the night being the first undisputed champion eating cold, fuzzy pizza in a Ramada Inn somewhere in Anaheim, California. So, no hookers and blow there, kids”
