Back in the 90s, Jericho was a starving artist type struggling to break free of WCW's midcard pack. He didn't shy away from his thoughts on the company in his first autobiography either, and that's where this stunning backstage story comes from.

According to Chris, it wasn't uncommon for Scott Hall to needle him (and others) in the locker room. The nWo star was already known for his ribbing ways by that point, but it got out of hand when he told Jericho that nobody had paid to see him. After further comments, Scott Norton told Chris he had to stand up for himself.

Jericho waited until Hall tried to publicly roast him again and spoke up with a warning. "Don't f*cking talk to me like that again", he said. Amazingly, Hall backed down and that was that. It wouldn't have been a good look for WCW had things gone south, or Jericho had knocked Hall out.
