Chris Jericho made an appearance in-studio on the Opie & Anthony show on XM Channel 202 on Monday. Below is a recap:
-The trio talked mostly about wrestlers singing, playing songs from Hulk Hogan ("I Wanna Be A Hulkamaniac") and Randy Savage (his call-out to Hogan). About Hogan's record: "Wow, I'd love to know how many records sold?" and on Randy Savage "That was f---ing terrible! You know, if you are going to sing and you are a wrestler, don't sing about wrestling. That was really f---ing horrible!"
-One caller asked Jericho about his impressions of Triple H being the centerpiece of Raw, mentioning "Booking 101" says that you focus on the new champ, not the old one talking about himself. Jericho responded, "Well, Triple H is the star of the show and he's going to be the one focused upon. ... It has been that way for the past five years. It was like than when I won the belt and when (Chris) Benoit won as well. That's just the way things (are)."
-The hosts asked Jericho about his contact. Jericho said that it was up in eight months, "and right now, no (about renewing it)." He explained that he just got back from Australia (on the overseas trip) and that he's soon to take off to Scotland, England, and Germany for WWE. Also, Fozzy was playing in Germany around the same time. "Sometimes you are like on a gerbil wheel, running to get that little pellet. It can get to you at times," he added. He sounded exhausted.
-He then noted that he's going to see on the Internet that "Jericho is going to retire" or "Jericho won't renew his contract!" "It is usually run by 14 and 15 year olds and the guys in the back read it," Jericho said, joking on the notion. "Some of the guys actually take it (the Internet reports) seriously. They won't think they had a good match until someone (on the Internet) say that they did."
-Also, someone e-mailed the show and it said to ask Jericho about "Lita and Edge screwing and watch him squirm!" "I'm squirming," Jericho said. He then said that it was "an extremely f---ed up situation to lose your job and your girlfriend in a short period of time while doing nothing wrong" and "bad business" to release Hardy.
