Hundreds Flock to Odessa for Wrestler Chris Jericho’s Estate Sale
By Tim Wronka PUBLISHED 4:48 PM EDT May. 04, 2019 ODESSA, Fla. -- Hundreds flocked to Odessa over the last two days, hoping to get something from the house of Chris Jericho.
From wrestling merchandise to Christmas decorations, fans and bargain-hunters came looking for treasures. "It was packed," said fan Isaac McNeil. "You could barely get through the house." Jericho has fans all over the world thanks to his long career in wrestling, music, acting, writing, and podcasting. He recently purchased a new home in the area and invited fans to help him clean out his old one in Odessa. "We are selling everything," Jericho said in a video on Facebook. "Everything we don’t want. All of the books. All of the magazines. All of the records. All of the hockey cards. All of the photos. You name it, its all going." Most of his wrestling memorabilia was bought Friday, including some signed books, making the estate sale seem like any other you’d see, down to the used dishware and old electronics. "I got some books out of his office. The office of Jericho. And I found some stuff for the kids," said fan Alan Gonzalez. Some folks came out just to see how their favorite wrestler lived for years. The sale was held on Friday and Saturday. The proceeds from the estate sale are going to the diabetes research group JDRF. Chris Jericho is one of many famous pro wrestlers who make Tampa Bay their home, including John Cena and Hulk Hogan.

Wrestler Chris Jericho is holding a yard sale, and you're invited
By FOX 13 News staff Posted May 03 2019 02:17PM EDT Updated May 03 2019 03:06PM EDT ODESSA, Fla. (FOX 13) - There will be lots of yard sales in the Tampa Bay area this weekend, but probably none quite like this. WWE wrestler Chris Jericho is having a big estate sale at his Odessa home, and he wants you to stop by. “We’re selling everything. All the books, all the magazines, all the records, all the Chris Jericho 8x10s, hockey cards, you name it,” Jericho said in a Facebook video posted Thursday. Jericho, whose real name is Christopher Keith Irvine, is known best for his success in the wrestling ring, but he also sings in a heavy metal band, has written an autobiography, and tried his hand at acting. Like many current and former wrestlers, he settled in the Tampa Bay area. He and his wife Jessica bought their four-bedroom lakefront home in 2004. Now, they're trading up to a $3.2-million, five-bedroom place just a few miles away. With the move, he’s apparently looking to get rid of all the collectibles, decorations, and other items he’s gathered through the years. “It’s just piles and piles and piles, oodles and oodles and oodles of stuff,” he said in the Facebook video as he showed off tables and tables of items. Proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Tampa chapter, he added. The sale is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 18127 Patterson Road in Odessa.
