I am the Ayatollah of rock 'n' rolla
I've got news for you... both those idiots [Al Snow and the Rock] aren't your friends! They hate you! Everybody hates you! All the people at home, all these people in the arena hate you, and most importantly, Y2J hates you!
Welcome to RAW is Jericho! And I was just listening to your list of problems and grievances that you have with all my Jerichoholics, and I have a solution - and that solution is to SHUT THE HELL UP. But finally, Al Snow, tomorrow people WILL be acknowledging you - they WILL be talking about the greatest moment of '99 - they'll be talking about the night that Al Snow was brutally beaten by the Ayatollah of Rock n Rolla.
A live performance is the same no matter what genre it is. Wrestling, rock 'n roll, hosting, acting - it's the same thing.
I started playing music when I was 12 years old.
Things are busy, ... When you get the title of world heavyweight champion, not only does WWE expect you to put the title on the line every night and perform at the top of your game, they expect you to be the flagship of the company, do interviews, be everywhere at once and spread the good word of the company. A lot of people don't understand that.
No, they really don't have much to do with Fozzy. I didn't want it be a WWE project, it's a Chris Jericho project and I've done it all on my own the whole time. It's more of a good faith thing that they help me promote the shows that I have scheduled.
Somebody actually tattooed my face on his arm. In a couple years, that will be the equivalent of having a Screech tattoo.
I don't really play a lot of games.
I don't think I'd ever be able to give up the spotlight.
I would have to say that Canada definitely produces the best wrestlers; I don't know why. I think Canada is a big wrestling country, and there are a lot of guys who are interested in wrestling in Canada.
I've always been the type of guy that wants to change, adapt and morph from year to year.
Most people use Twitter to meet girls, and I use it to meet 'American Idol' contestants!
It's always great to add to your legacy.
