Chris Jericho Does Something Pretty Awesome To Help A Wrestling Legend

That’s a special thing to do. There are a lot of legends of wrestling still around today and several of them have some rather famous careers. Unfortunately that does not mean everything is going to work out after their career is over, as some of them have some serious issues. That can include medical troubles, but now one of them is getting some help from a pretty well known source.

Earlier this week, WWE legend Virgil revealed that he has been diagnosed with stage two colon cancer. Virgil also mentioned that he does not have the money to afford the medical treatment and set up a PayPal account to help him with the expenses. AEW’s Chris Jericho has donated $1,500 towards the $20,000 goal, by far the highest amount so far. If you would like to donate, you can do so by clicking here.

Opinion: Jericho might not be everyone’s cup of tea and there is nothing wrong with that, but the man is willing to put his money down to help out a cause like this. You hear about Jericho doing this on a fairly regular basis, even if it is to a wrestler that he doesn’t exactly have a major history with in his career. That is a classy thing to see and Jericho doing it makes me think more of him.
