WWE.com recently spoke with Chris Jericho about the marriage proposal he helped a friend with at the live WWE event on Thursday in Melbourne, Australia. Below are some highlights of Jericho talking about the subject and getting approval from Triple H:
Jericho on his friend Daniel House and how he was diagnosed with terminal cancer: “We found out he was diagnosed in September and was given three months to live, which was December/January. We kept in touch with him and really got behind him as a friend. He became an inspiration. Not only is he a Fozzy fan, but he’s a big WWE fan and a big Chris Jericho fan.”
Jericho on getting approval from Triple H for the proposal: “Everyone at WWE agreed it was the cool thing to do. Basically, Daniel came in the ring and asked his girlfriend to look at the billboard, which said ‘Will you marry me, Mikala?’ She said yes. … The best part of all was as soon as he asked the question, 15,000 fans starting chanting ‘Yes!’ which is pretty cool.”
