Current AEW wrestler and future WWE Hall of Famer Chris Jericho was in the Okotoks area last week and took some time to reminisce.

Jericho filmed several videos in Okotoks where he talked about how he first cut his teeth in the business while training with the Hart family in the early 1990s.

One video was filmed in front of the Royal Duke Hotel, where Jericho used to live there for a time when it was still called the "Willie Hotel".

"It may have a different name but, it looks exactly the same," Jericho said in the post.

He posted another video of himself outside Okotoks at a farm he moved to and was paid $10 a day to stay there.

"I used to milk cows, and chase them when they got out to the highway," Jericho said.

He made his professional wrestling debut in Ponoka, Alberta at an indie show in 1990 and wrestled under the name of "Cowboy" Chris Jericho. He would go on to wrestle across the world in places like Japan, Mexico, Europe, and the USA. 

Jericho has worked for WWF/WWE, WCW, ECW, and many others during his career.
