AEW man Chris Jericho has Disco Inferno to thank for meeting the love of his life.

Disco was chatting to Jessica Lockhart at a Japanese restaurant in Tampa, Florida following a WCW card in the area. Jericho couldn't take his eyes off of her, and figured he'd kick himself if he didn't go over and introduce himself at some stage during the evening.

There were other fans around, but Jericho didn't care about them. He described Jessica as "breathtakingly beautiful", and said he bugged Inferno repeatedly on who she was. When Disco said she was "just a friend", Chris was all in; he'd heard the magic word, and fancied trying his luck.

Jericho and Lockhart ended up talking for hours. They exchanged numbers, she left a message on his answering machine, and they started a relationship. The pair married in July 2000 when Jericho was with WWE, and they're still very much together today.

Cheers, Disco!
