10 Wrestling Moments That Aren't What They Seem
4. The Real Reason Chris Jericho Got Shredded Recently
When Le Champion suddenly rocked up on All Elite programming earlier this year sporting a set of abs that would make his younger Lionheart self a tad jealous, most fans were legitimately taken aback at just how quickly Chris Jericho went from dad bod to Demo-God bod; with some even claiming he must've installed ab implants!
That was definitely not the case, though. And this wasn't merely a vanity project either. Jericho actually found himself in a position towards the end of 2021 where he had the choice to lose some weight... or potentially lose his life.
That's all according to the former AEW World Champion himself, with the JAS leader revealing on his Talk is Jericho podcast that in the wake of being told he had a pulmonary embolism, Jericho's doctor advised him that he needed to lose weight due to the visceral fat found around his organs.
Not being one to do anything by halves, in-between January and April this year Jericho dropped a staggering 32lbs, with the veteran also managing prescribed blood thinners whilst tentatively stepping back in-between the ropes during that time, too.
What a wizard.
