Chris talks about making costumes for Jericho, Wardlow, Will Hobbs, Daniel Garcia, Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, MJF, Saraya, FTR, and Austin Gunn. He also dishes on who\u2019s most particular, whose gear takes the longest, who\u2019s the easiest to work with, and who gives him the most freedom with design.\n\nThank you for supporting our sponsors!\nBrunt Workwear: Go to https://BruntWorkwear.com/TIJ and use code TIJ to get $10 off your first order plus free shipping and returns.\nHello Fresh: Go to https://HelloFresh.com/50JERICHO and use code 50JERICHO to get 50% off plus 15% off your next two months.\nFactor Meals: Go to https://FactorMeals.com/TIJ50 and use promo code TIJ50 to get 50% off.\nBosch Tools: Learn more at https://www.boschtools.com/us/en/ \nProgressive: Quote today at https://progressive.com \neBay Motors: Get the right parts, the right fit, and the right prices. https://ebaymotors.com \nSlingTV: Check out https://www.sling.com/ for special offers \n\nSTAY CONNECTED:\nTikTok: @ChrisJericho\nInstagram: @talkisjericho @chrisjerichofozzy \nTwitter: @TalkIsJericho @IAmJericho\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisJerichoFozzy \nWebsite: https://www.webisjericho.com/
