CHRIS JERICHO recalled the time he ran into Tom Brady after putting him on “Jericho’s List.”
The list contained names of people who bothered the then-WWE Universal Champion.

The first name on the list was Mick Foley in 2016, before several other stars were added.
And the list wasn’t just reserved for rival fighters, with NFL star Brady also being added to the famous list.
Appearing in Power 106Jericho, 53, told how Brady, 46, reacted to being put on the list when they met at an airport after a night of drinking.
Jericho said: “We were close to where the Patriots play, and that’s when everyone called Tom Brady ‘THE GOAT.’
“I called myself ‘The GOAT’ at the time.
“I put Tom Brady on the list. I met Tom a few years later at a private airport.
“It was early in the morning, I think I drank all night.
“When I met him, he said, ‘Yes, I made the list!’ I was like, ‘Ahh, Tom Brady, you’re on the list! Yes, you really are the GOAT, it’s okay.’
“People loved it. Everyone wanted to be on the list.”
Brady won seven NFL Super Bowls throughout his career and was named MVP five times.
The roster’s origins were revealed last year by WWE producer Jimmy Jacobs.
He said McGuire in wrestling: “We were in Memphis and Jericho was going to air his grievances against Mick Foley.
“I thought, ‘He should have a list of complaints, like a physical list.’ I thought in real life Steve Corino has the Corino S*** list.
“The people who, in his life and in his career, are on his list and are dead to him.
“I thought, ‘What if Jericho has the same kind of thing, except he’s super petty and gets all kinds of people into this for all different reasons.’
“As soon as I thought about it, I knew it was a good idea because I started to have more ideas than that.
“It’s when you know you’ve got a good idea, when you’re in a creative room and someone pitches something and a bunch of people start piling on it, you know you’ve got something with legs.
“I figured out what I thought was good, presented it to Chris and he said, ‘So, you’re talking about doing this for more than just tonight?’
“’Yes, that might be what you like. You have made the gift of Jericho by absorbing it. This could be like the Jericho List.’
“He understood immediately and added the big clipboard and the way he clicked the pen. He really brought it to life.
“It was fun to get something that hit the spot. For a while, this would generate the biggest reactions on Raw when Chris Jericho would put his name on the list.
