WWE star Chris Jericho recently spoke with Forbes, while on his way to Orlando for WrestleMania week. During the interview, Jericho revealed his current WWE run is “winding down”, and added the following about touring with his band Fozzy:
“We’re getting ready to put out a new Fozzy record, and I can’t do wrestling and music at the same time. So I think this [wrestling] run is pretty much winding down at this point. It’s time to take a break from wrestling and work on some of these other things that have been on the back burner and are starting to come to fruition.”
As noted, Jericho is currently being advertised for sporadic WWE events over the summer, including Extreme Rules, and Jericho did say he is willing to work live events as long as he’s free, but it doesn’t look like he will be working TV events as he will not be full-time.
“If there’s a tour of Japan or a tour of Australia, I’ll go if I’m free,” Jericho said. “If there’s a weekend I’m free, I’ll do it in Peoria or Lakeland, Florida. It doesn’t matter to me how big or small the shows are, because they all count. I still enjoy it, and when it’s time for me to come back, if that time comes and when that time comes, then I’ll come back the same way I always do.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
