On a recent edition of X-Pac 1-2-360, Sean Waltman spoke about the recent fight between Enzo Amore and Joey Janela. He ended up sharing a story about the time when Chris Jericho punched Enzo. Below are some highlights (via 411 Mania).
X-Pac on the recent Enzo/Janela fight:
“Of course, Enzo took and ran with it like he’s a bad ass. [Get] the f**k outta here, Enzo!”
On Enzo getting beaten up by Chris Jericho:
“It’s just like, to watch him say s**t about Joey for not wanting any of that smoke. I watched Chris Jericho … Jericho was drunk, we were at the Rainbow. He f**king punched f**king Enzo in the ribs so hard. I couldn’t believe Enzo didn’t do anything about it. And then he f**king fishhooked him in his nose with his pinkie like this [demonstrates] in front of everybody, and Enzo didn’t do s**t! So where was the badass then? That’s all.”
On why Jericho punched him:
“He just didn’t like him. Just because of how he was, because Jericho had been around him in WWE. On tour buses and what-not. He just wasn’t a fan, and let him know. I was like, man! I would have f**king had to fight Chris. It wouldn’t have been any talks. It would have just been, ‘boom!’ But he wouldn’t have done that to me, and it’s not ’cause like, I’m a badass. It’s because he has respect for me. Man, I couldn’t believe Enzo didn’t do f**king anything! Didn’t even say anything, he just walked off. So let’s not act like we’re bad-asses, please.”
