Chris Jericho talked to Maxim Magazine on August 19 about being hungover when he wrestled Ric Flair during the debut episode of WCW Thunder in January 1998.
"There were flames involved, you know, taking alcohol and lighting it on fire and drinking it, which is never a good idea. I had the worst hangover and I had my first match on Thunder, and it was the very first time I had ever wrestled Ric Flair," Jericho said.
"So here I am wrestling a legendary guy with the worst hangover. I remember the first fall that I took, I felt like my head was going to explode. I didn’t even want to get up off the mat, it was so bad," Jericho said. "I just remember trying to peel myself off the mat, just like, 'It’s Flair! Get up, get up, get up! It’s live TV, get up, get up, get up!' And of course that show went fine, but I definitely paid the price for it."
