  • Chris Jericho: Latest News On His Return To The Ring

    Here are the facts. Chris Jericho is currently scheduled to appear in three WWE shows in Europe this November. There’s the November 10th show in Bournemouth, England, the SmackDown taping in Liverpool, England on November 11th, and finally there is a show scheduled in Frankfurt, Germany on November 15th.

    But could we see more of The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla? He recently teased WWE fans on his podcast, “[My] latest run with the WWE is over for now, but don’t worry,” Jericho said. “I will be back sooner than you think, especially for my friends over in the UK and Germany.”

    For American fans who can’t travel overseas, rumors have been circulating that Jericho could make an appearance at the WWE Survivor Series PPV on November 23rd. The annual live event is held in St. Louis, MO.

    Jericho is one of the most popular names in professional wrestling. He is one of the few WWE superstars that has crossed entertainment boundaries to become successful in movies, music, podcasting, and reality television. Jericho is even a two-time New York Times best-sellling book author with another book on the way.

    The 43-year-old is also one of the most accomplished wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring. He is a six-time world champ and has over 30 championships in WWE, ECW, and WCW. He also holds nine Intercontinental Championship belts and was the WWE’s fourth Grand Slam Champion.

    How many matches Jericho wrestles in the future is still unknown. However, a stateside WWE comeback sounds likely.

  • Chris Jericho: Will He Return To Wrestling?

    Chris Jericho found fame as a professional wrestler, but deep down he still had a dream. He wanted to be a rock star. Jericho made his dream a reality and now he says he may not wrestle again and says that he prefers his rock and roll career to his wrestling one.

    Jericho has left wrestling several times in the past but has always come back. This time, his retirement may be permanent and he says he doesn’t even need a big sendoff.

    He recently talked about his departure from the WWE and a possible return saying,

    “You know if I never wrestle again it won’t bother me, I don’t want the big send-off — I don’t want the big farewell match where I’m in the ring crying in front of 70,000 fans because I’m such a hero and my career is done, I don’t look at it that way. My career continues to move forward.”

    “One day much to my fans’ chagrin I won’t be wrestling anymore but I’ll playing rock ‘n’ roll in your town, or I’ll be doing a podcast and you can hear me twice a week, or I’ll be acting in some show or I’ll be doing a spoken word performance. It’s not like I’m just going to dry up and go away when I finish wrestling.”

    “Much of what I’ve been doing over the last few years is what I’m going to be doing for the next 20 years or 30 years, and less and less of that will be in-ring performing. Not that I couldn’t still go out there now and kick ass and tear it up because that’s what I do but when the time comes that I feel I couldn’t do that anymore then I won’t do it,” he added.

    Jericho often posts photos on his Twitter page and recently those photos have been of him and his band and their performances. Jericho rarely references wrestling and if you had never seen him in the ring, you might not even know that he ever had a wrestling career.

    Many of Jericho’s wrestling fans also enjoy his music, and he hopes that they will continue to stick by him with other things that he pursues. Others miss seeing him in the ring and long to see him slap the “lion tamer’ on an opponent.

    Do you prefer Chris Jericho the rock star or the wrestler and do you think he will ever return to the ring??

  • Chris Jericho Would Be Okay With Not Fighting Again

    Christopher Keith “Chris” Irvine, best known for his ring name Chris Jericho, has seemed to conquer it all. Not only is he a semi-retired professional wrestler, he is also a musician, author, and television personality.

    Jericho has won over 30 championships, since his wrestling career began in 1999, in the World Wrestling Federation (WWE), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). While Chris has made a name for himself in the wrestling world, he admitted that he would be okay with never wrestling again.

    During an interview with Britain’s Mirror, Jericho explained that he stays busy with his band Fozzy, in which he is the lead vocalist, and is also working on another book and a web series.

    You know if I never wrestle again it won’t bother me, I don’t want the big send-off — I don’t want the big farewell match where I’m in the ring crying in front of 70,000 fans because I’m such a hero and my career is done, I don’t look at it that way. My career continues to move forward.

    One day much to my fans’ chagrin I won’t be wrestling anymore but I’ll playing rock ‘n’ roll in your town, or I’ll be doing a podcast and you can hear me twice a week, or I’ll be acting in some show or I’ll be doing a spoken word performance. It’s not like I’m just going to dry up and go away when I finish wrestling.

    Much of what I’ve been doing over the last few years is what I’m going to be doing for the next 20 years or 30 years, and less and less of that will be in-ring performing. Not that I couldn’t still go out there now and kick ass and tear it up because that’s what I do but when the time comes that I feel I couldn’t do that anymore then I won’t do it.
