Chris Jericho ‘Amazed’ By Rediscovered Throwback To Past Career

AEW

AEW’s Chris Jericho is a man of many talents, inside and outside the wrestling ring, as a throwback has reminded us all.

With a career spanning more than three decades, Jericho is also a podcast host, bestselling author, actor, cruise host and frontman for the heavy metal band Fozzy.

Before all this, though, Jericho studied at the Red River College in Manitoba and graduated from their Creative Communications program in 1990.

In the same year as he would make his professional wrestling debut, he would also be featured in the Winnipeg Free Press, where he would interview the legendary Baron Von Raschke.

Memories of Jericho’s journalistic career would be unearthed by Kris Zellner on Twitter who would share a report from the real-life Chris Irvine.

The report would cover the AWA show in Winnipeg on February 2 1989 and clearly demonstrated Jericho’s way with words.

Reacting to the Tweet, Jericho would say:

“Wow this is amazing!! How did u find this? Thx so

“Much for posting it!!”

Winnipeg Pro Wrestling would share Jericho’s interview with Raschke in response.

Zellner would respond to Jericho reveal the source of the article, writing:

“Newspaper Archive has the Winnipeg Free Press in their archives”

The Winnipeg Free Press archive can be found here.

It is powered by Newspaper Archive by Ancestry.com, which offers a free trial to new subscribers.
