Chris Jericho On Why He’s Off WWE TV, Fozzy’s New Album and His Upcoming Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Cruise

WWE part-timer and lead singer of the band Fozzy, Chris Jericho, recently spoke with WWE.com and below are some interview highlights:

On Fozzy’s new album “Judas”:

“The record is called “Judas,” obviously based off the title track. That’s been the name of the record for six months. We didn’t do that to capitalize on the success of the song when you come up with a title of a record or everything like that. We had no idea how huge “Judas” the song was going to be, but here we are now with almost 10 million views on YouTube, No. 1 on satellite radio for five weeks in a row [and]we’re about to crack the Top 10 on the Active Rock charts [Ed. Note: Jericho informed WWE.com on Tuesday that the song had broken into the Top 10]. It’s really gotten a whole life of its own. We just just… sold the most tickets we’ve ever sold for a Fozzy headlining tour [in the U.S.]. Same thing in Europe, we just announced a sellout in Glasgow this morning. So, there’s a whole buzz about the band that we never had before “Judas” came out, which is great. This is turning into our “Enter Sandman” type of signature song.”

On why he’s off WWE TV and his upcoming Rock ‘n’ Wrestling cruise:

“It’s just all these projects I’ve been working on [have been]years and years of work culminating over this month [and]next month. Chris Jericho’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager at Sea, the cruise I’m doing, I’ve been working on that for two years. We finally just got it up and running about a month ago. All of those things that I’ve been working on have been in position and been part of what I’ve been doing, and it’s come to fruition this month, next month and the month after that. It’s a good problem to have. It’s very busy, but that’s the way I like it. And it’s one of the only reasons I’m gone from WWE. It just felt like … these four, five things are blossoming as we speak. It’s a busy time, but it’s very rewarding creatively because I really went outside of the box and took a few chances on all of these things. It’s a good position to be in.”
