The 46-year-old revealed on his podcast last year that the famous "Man of 1,004 Holds" promo he delivered during his WCW days wasn't his idea either. And worse yet, it was the idea of Disco Inferno, who, in all his years in the ring, never made it beyond the status of comedy jobber.

To be fair, though, Inferno - a long-time road agent in TNA - was already working behind the curtain as far back in the 1990s, so must have a pretty good nose for the business (and, let's not forget, you don't need to be a great athlete in order to be a great coach).

If he's OK with Jericho, he's OK with us.
