WWE star Jericho’s latest smash in music headlining Fozzy
LANCASTER, Pa. — Chris Jericho stood with his back to the hyperactive crowd, his arms outstretched and lights flashing on his jacket. The classic Jericho pose had been an anticipated staple at WWE arenas for years.
Posturing in a blinged-out $15,000 jacket (so he bragged each week on “Raw”) earned him “Jericho” chants from wrestling fans, but the two-syllable shout from about 400 hundred sweat-soaked faithful recently stuffed inside a sweaty club were for “Fozzy! Fozzy!”
“I could just stand here and listen you to say ‘Fozzy’ all night long, man!” he told the crowd.
Jericho’s been billed as Y2J and The Man of 1,004 Holds. But these days, the entertainer who just last month went hold-for-hold at WrestleMania has traded wrestling for rock and is on tour with his long-time metal band, Fozzy.
