The Minnesota Vikings have their fair share of celebrity fans but it doesn’t get much bigger than one of the best professional wrestlers of all time in Chris Jericho.
Now calling himself “The Ocho,” Jericho currently wrestles for All Elite Wrestling owned by Tony Khan, whose dad Shad owns the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also won his eighth world championship recently at AEW’s Grand Slam show in September in defeating Claudio Castagnoli for the championship.
Jericho, who is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada where Vikings legendary coach Bud Grant got his coaching start, has been a Vikings fan for some time.
He put out a short video before the game from Hard Rock Stadium on the Vikings Facebook account hyping up the Vikings .

Hopefully, Jericho doesn’t put the Vikings on the list for their performance thus far.
