He revealed that he is not a heavy drinker, but when he lets loose there is no stopping him from the “Yeah Boy’s (vodka and ice)” .

However, he revealed that whenever he went head to head with Cena, he lost. He revealed that the incident took place a few years ago in Alaska. And, how after the show they hit the bar to keep warm.

Jericho revealed that, in the bar, they met a couple. And Cena gave them a counselling and saved their marriage, while cancelling their divorce thoughts. After the good deed was done, they drank again. However, Jericho revealed that when he got back to his room, he passed out.

The 52-year-old revealed that he only remembers waking up to a dark figure in his room. He wrote, “I had no idea where I was and almost screamed when I saw a dark figure sitting in the corner of the room.”

In the book he wrote that as he adjusted to the light, he realized that the dark figure was John Cena, scrolling through his iPad. He further wrote and stated Cena to be the winner.
