WWE Superstar and Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho recently spoke with Martin Hines of the UK’s Independent, and he discussed a number of topics including his WWE live event return this month,
Jericho On Balancing WWE With Fozzy:
“I don’t get involved unless I’m in 100%, and you can see if you look at my schedule with WWE, since 2010 I’ll come for four months, or six months and then I’m gone, and that’s because my schedule is based around what Fozzy is doing. I came back in January and February because I happened to have some time off.”
Why he is working house shows only:
“I was just over in the UK in November with WWE solely doing Live Events, I know I did a quick Smackdown appearance, but I figured if I could just do Live Events in Europe, why not do the same in the States if I’m available for a few months.
“The company was really excited with that, so it’s a good way to stay connected and do the road shows. As far as being on TV, I can’t see that happening for a while because my schedule is already pretty much filled up until the end of May, and there is already stuff pencilled in for June and July. It’ll be a while until I’m back again, so I was glad to be able to come see all the cool people in the UK, and when the sixteen shows are done in the States I have no plans for when I’m going to come back.”
Jericho On Macho Man’s Hall of Fame Induction:
“It’s much deserved, it’s long awaited and about time. If the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame puts Deep Purple in next year then I’ll be a happy guy, because those are the two standouts for me, Savage in WWE and Deep Purple in the Rock and Roll. He deserves it, he’s a huge influence and is one of the best of all time.”
