“And I’ve been there since day one,” Jericho continued, “Since before we even started, and just to see the growth of the company. And I knew Wembley was going to be big because I was laughing. When you get some critics, which drives me so crazy in a funny way, saying, oh, they won’t draw 10,000 people, they won’t draw 20, and it’s like, I knew that was so wrong,”

“I think Tony showed some great vision and, let’s be honest, some great balls by booking Wembley Stadium,” Jericho added. “As Keith Richards would say, that’s a big room. But by doing that, if you build it, they will come. People were saying, Wembley, I want to be a part of that. And then I think when the show kind of came out of the gate with 30,000 or 40,000, I think people jumped on that and wanted to go to the show because it’s an event. It’s like I mentioned, just mentioned the [Rolling] Stones. Like, whenever the Stones come to town, I always go to see them as much as I can. It’s an event.”
