1. Chris Jericho Butchered Penta's Gear At All In

Chris Jericho said on his podcast that he was left scratching his head upon arriving at All In for his surprise ambush on Kenny Omega later that night.

Beforehand, he'd forgotten to make sure that Penta El Zero M was bringing two identical sets of ring gear with him for the show. Penta, to Jericho's dismay, hadn't. He brought some gold gear and some silver. That wouldn't do for a perfectionist like Y2J who had become accustomed to Vince McMahon's slickness in WWE.

Thinking outside the box, Jericho sent somebody out to search the venue for gold paint he could use to mimic Penta's chosen outfit for the match. When that plan failed, Chris again sent a runner out onto the streets to buy gold sharpie pens and spray paint. The most frantic DIY project of all time then commenced.

Jericho coloured in the silver bits on Penta's alternate attire. As he was doing so, the legend wondered if his new Mexican friend (someone he had never met before) would be bothered that he was butchering his gear.
