Part-time WWE performer Chris Jericho recently spoke to the Las Vegas Review-Journal about working with boxing legend Mike Tyson in WWE in the past.
Jericho described to the publication what it’s like waiting for Tyson to hit him with a worked punch, trusting that he would not take his head off.
“The moment before he swung at me, I told him, ‘Just wait until I put my hands up in the air, and swing,'” said Jericho.
Jericho continued, “He barely grazed me, but I felt a wind go by my face. That’s how fast he swung. It was like a ‘Swoosh!’ Who swings that hard and leaves a vapor trail. Nothing could ever scare me ever again, after standing face-to-face with Mike Tyson, knowing he’s going to swing at me, and giving him 100 percent trust he’s not going to knock me out and kill me.”
