Chris Jericho is one of the biggest names in sports entertainment. When the former WWE Superstar retires, his name will go down as one of the greatest performers of all time.

Jericho had some of the best matches of his career at WrestleMania events, but it was at WrestleMania 29 where he was unsure about his booking. Jericho was booked to compete against Fandango at the event, and the multi-time WWE Champion wasn’t too happy with the match.

He pitched a few other names to Vince McMahon for the match, but Vince was high on Fandango at the time and shot down each one of Jericho’s suggestions.

Finally, Jericho decided to ring up the locker room leader The Undertaker to vent his frustration and take some advice. Undertaker was quick to point out to Jericho that he too had competed against some lesser-known Superstars at WrestleMania events, and therefore it was something that could help him grow as a Superstar and in the eyes of Vince.

The advice proved to be fruitful as Jericho was convinced by The Phenom to compete against Fandango at WrestleMania 29, a decision that helped him in the long-run.
