During a recent appearance on the Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast, former WWE Superstar Matt Cardona praised Chris Jericho for going from someone he looked up to as a child, to someone who helped him in his career.
Speaking on the show, Cardona said the following about the first-ever WWE Undisputed Champion:
“Chris Jericho is someone I looked up to as a kid. He has helped my career in so many ways that he might not even realize. Back in the day, I was wearing the one-legged tights in WWE and he pulled me aside and said, ‘Alright, you got noticed this way. It’s time to switch to trunks and be taken more seriously.’ Just stuff like that. He’s always been very supportive and to, you know, all these years later, in ninth grade I had a birthday cake with Chris Jericho on it and now I’m Chris Jericho Oceanic Champion.”
Cardona is currently engaged in a feud with Impact Wrestling Digital Media Champion Joe Hendry. Additionally, Cardona recently commented on the rumors that he is set to return to WWE in the near future.
