April 8, 2011, 13 years ago
FOZZY/WWE star Chris Jericho is guesting on VH1 Classic's That Metal Show tomorrow (Saturday, April 9th) at 11 pm ET/PT. During the show Jericho discusses his transition from wrestling to rock to dancing!
Jericho talks about why he decided to do Dancing With The Stars: “I always treated wrestling as show business, and my idols weren’t the Hogans or any of those guys. I wanted to be the David Lee Roth of wrestling - I wanted to be the Paul Stanley of wrestling. So it was always about the show business aspect of it, the character - the performance, and as crazy as it sounds dancing is not that far off from wrestling, and it’s actually quite close to singing as far as the rhythm of it and the syncopations and things like that. So as weird as it sounds on the surface, I think it’s the same concept as when Steven Tyler did American Idol. At first you go “oh come on.”
Eddie Trunk: “I’m still saying that.” (laughs)
Chris Jericho: “No listen Eddie, it’s great for rock 'n' roll. I don’t care what you say - the fact that you get a guy like that – one of the greatest rock stars of all time – there’s no doubt about that!”
Eddie Trunk: ”Agreed.”
