Chris Kanyon was instrumental in Shane \u201cHurricane\u201d Helms getting signed to WCW, and landing the part as David Arquette\u2019s stunt double in the movie \u201cReady To Rumble.\u201d He was a favorite of The Undertaker when he got to WWE, and could work anyone from Big Show to Rey Mysterio. Chris Kanyon also struggled with his sexuality as a gay wrestler in a time when the world (and the wrestling biz) wasn\u2019t so accepting, and he battled bi-polar disorder which ultimately contributed to him taking his own life in 2010. Chris Kaynon\u2019s close friends, Shane \u201cHurricane\u201d Helms and Diamond Dallas Page, along with his childhood friend Rafael Morfi, join Jericho to pay tribute to their friend with stories from Kanyon\u2019s days in WCW, WWE, and the final years of his life.
