Hey @IAmJericho. Serious question. Why’d you get so upset when the fans chanted “Y2J” at you? Aren’t they just chanting your nickname back at you?”

Jericho saw the fan’s tweet and decided to give a prompt reply as he stated that the ‘Y2J’ nickname and character are from 15 years ago and don’t exist within him anymore.

“It’s a nickname & and a character from 15 years ago from another time, another place and another mindset. He doesn’t exist within me anymore.”
