10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (June 22)

5. WCW Refused To Transport Y2J's Dean Malenko Portrait

Chris Jericho's feud with Dean Malenko in WCW was one of the first times fans were exposed to Y2J's sense of humour, comedic timing and ability to think outside the box. Brilliant touches like interviewing a Malenko portrait live long in the memory.

To Jericho, so does having to transport the bloody thing from city to city.

On Talk Is Jericho, he said that WCW wouldn't cart the picture around for him, and that made the whole gimmick a ball ache of epic proportions. Jericho had to source his own easel, buy a new frame in every single town WCW visited and carry the printed pic in his overhead luggage so it didn't get ruined.

The most annoying thing to carry was the easel. It wouldn't fit in Jericho's bag properly, so he had to just hoist it up over his shoulder or drag it behind him through airports. Meanwhile, WCW's production team probably had copious free space in their vans.

Ass-clowns.
