6 takeaways from Chris Jericho's The Words of Jericho

#3 Regis J O'Rourke is a stupid idiot

Jericho beat Austin and The Rock in the same night

So, one of the BIGGEST moments in Chris Jericho's career, if you ask any fan at all, was undoubtedly when he defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to unify the unbranded "World Championship" (formerly the WCW World Heavyweight Championship) and WWF Championship at Vengeance in 2001.

For Chris Jericho, though, the thing he remembers most from that night is a man named Regis J O'Rourke who ruined everything.

Y2J details that things leading up to the title win weren't exactly rosy, from the moment he overheard that he was going to win the title from a conversation between Vince McMahon and one WWE legend in catering.

"Hey, Taker, do you know how you know the business is going down the toilet?" When we're putting the belt on Jericho!"

Jericho details that was six hours before, the moment he found out he was going over, and that the reaction after he won the belts was just as poor - detailing the reaction as "tepid" with no Vince to be seein in gorilla position.

"Roddy Piper always said the loneliest position on the card was the main event because everyone goes home - even the guys in the matches."

But this was nothing compared to what would happen when Jericho "celebrated" his win that night.

Y2J spoke about how he had a long drive to his hotel, where he met Regis J O'Rourke - the hotel receptionist who would greet him upon arrival - and then ruin his life.

Jericho tells the story of ordering a pizza, Regis called him to alert him it's there but says he can't bring it to the room, so Jericho must go get it. Jericho forgot his hotel room key, so ended up locked out the room because Regis made him get his own pizza.

Regis then refused to help Jericho get back into his room because he didn't know who he was, despite two interactions within the past two hours. The hotel employee made Y2J wait in the corridor while sorting it all and making sure the room did belong to Y2J.

Regis asked Jericho what was in the room, Y2J said the belts were there and Regis said, "I guess the story checks out" while Jericho celebrated what should have been the biggest night of his life by eating cold pizza while sat on the floor of a hotel corridor.

Sadly, one thing points to this story not being entirely true, but we'll hope the name is all that was changed...

Great idea! “@JoeyImage: "Regis J O'Rourke Jr." Sounds like the best gimmick name ever. Friday shows should be called "TGIJ"! @TalkIsJericho
