Chris Jericho Opens Up About Major Medical Issue That Led To Hospitalization
That could have been worse. There are all kinds of injuries that can put a wrestler on the shelf and you never know how bad things can be until you get a better diagnosis. As many times as you can see a wrestler get hurt in the ring, there are other times when something goes wrong that you might never see. That was the case last year, and it turns out that things were a lot more serious than people realized.
Last year, Chris Jericho was hospitalized during a UK tour during a tour of England with his band Fozzy. Jericho opened up about the situation during his Talk Is Jericho podcast, revealing that he was suffering from blood clots and had a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs). Jericho talked about performing at a show in Newcastle, England and having trouble breathing. This led to a hospitalization and several appearances being canceled as Jericho recovered. The clots have since been removed, allowing a full recovery.
Opinion: This is one of those things that is absolutely terrifying and what matters the most is that Jericho recovered and is healthy again. Blood clots, especially in the lungs, are the kind of things you do not take lightly and thankfully everything wound up working out in the end. Hopefully this doesn’t happen again but it was certainly a scary situation for the fans, though far more for Jericho himself.
What do you think of Jericho’s time in AEW? Who should he face next? Let us know in the comments below.
