During an episode of RAW in May 2001, The King of Kings tore his quad while facing off in a match against Stone Cold Steve Austin, Chris Benoit, and Chris Jericho. This injury would result in him being on the shelf for more than seven months.
During a recent episode of his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Y2J stated that The Game, who was severely injured, still wanted to be put into the Walls of Jericho submission hold.
The Cerebral Assassin returned to the company from injury in January 2002. He would coincidentally beat Chris Jericho in the main event of WrestleMania 18 for the Undisputed WWE Championship a few months later.
Chris Jericho did not see eye-to-eye with Triple H at the start of his WWE career
Before finding mutual respect for one another, the two WWE legends did not always get along all that well. Most notably when a young Jericho joined the company in 1999.
Speaking at the Jericho Chronicles Q&A sessions, the 52-year-old star recounted how The Game treated him when he first arrived at WWE.
Today, both men are still at the top of the wrestling industry, with Hunter now running the backstage creative department in WWE, while Chris Jericho is still performing in the ring for AEW.
