The AEW star wanted to meet Paul McCartney, and hence, pretended to walk through the area like he belonged there and ended up walking right behind McCartney.
“We ended up standing right behind Paul and Ringo and when the show was done, Paul started walking. So I started walking, kind of almost beside him… We finally just meet at the peak. Oh my goodness, what a coincidence.
“I didn’t know what to say but I said ‘listen I see you have your security guard leading you but you got no one behind you. So if any ninjas come, I got your back’. Alright, then I go ‘high-five’, so he gives me a high-five.”
Chris Jericho had a second encounter with Paul McCartney
Later during the same day, Chris Jericho spotted McCartney eating with Joe Walsh. Some people had gathered around him during that time. Jericho wanted to help him out and approached him a second time. He told McCartney that if others were harassing him, he could help.
