with was Jack Action , which , in retrospect , is a horrible name of course . So I tried to think of something and " The Walls of Jericho " just always stood out with me as a cool album cover name , so I thank Helloween for the assist on that one .

Mosh : Now that you ’ re on a break from WWE , is Fozzy your number one priority ? Chris Jericho : It ’ s not that I ’ m on a break from WWE , Fozzy is the priority . Fozzy has been the priority since 2010 . After we ’ re done with the tour cycle , then I can start thinking about going back to WWE . So the focus and priority is on the band and that ’ s the way it has to be . We ’ re in the big leagues , but we ’ re at the bottom end of the big leagues . So if you want to continue to grow and get to the middle of the ranks , [ then ] get to the top of the top , you have to put all of your focus into it . It ’ s much like Corey Taylor . When Slipknot finishes he goes to Stone Sour . When Stone Sour finishes , he goes back to Slipknot .

Mosh : Growing up , you ' ve always dreamt about being a pro wrestler and a rock performer and you ’ ve successfully done both . Chris Jericho : When I was a kid , those are the two things I wanted to do and most people thought I was crazy wanting to do even one of them , never mind two of them . I just always eliminated negativity and focused on the positive and what I wanted to do . I never looked at it like it ’ s two completely different crazy things . I looked at it like , ‘ This is what I ’ m going to do with my life and I ’ m just going to work my ass off to make it happen .’ And here I am all these years later doing these things . I don ’ t really see that changing until the day I die . I ’ ll still be playing music when I ’ m 75 years old like the Stones . That ’ s one good thing about rock ‘ n ’ roll , you can play it as long as you can stand .

Mosh : What do you like the most about your Talk is Jericho podcast ? Chris Jericho : The one thing I love about Talk is Jericho is I get a chance to talk to my friends , and talk to people I ’ ve always wanted to get to know . Paul Stanley was a big one . William Shatner was awesome . Hulk Hogan was awesome . Lemmy was great . I think people trust my judgement and trust who I ’ m having on and know that it ’ s going to be a great show . I had Bruno Sammartino on . We recorded it at one of his favorite Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh . That ’ s a once in a lifetime thing that a lot of people will never get to experience . There ’ s a lot of cool things that happen like that as a result of my show .

Mosh : What ’ s in store for the future ? Chris Jericho : I ' m going to keep doing what I ' m doing . I ’ m an entertainer , I have been since I was 19 years old and I will be till the day I die . It ’ s very gratifying to see Fozzy grow and it ’ s great to keep my toe in the water with WWE and continue to grow Talk is Jericho [ podcast ]. I ' ve got another book coming out ; I ’ m doing a show for the Travel Channel . I don ’ t do anything for money , I do it because I think I ’ m going to enjoy it , or [ at least ] give me a new experience I ' ve never had before . At the end of the day , this is what I signed up for so I could never complain about getting a chance to tour the world doing what I love to do . I ’ m very blessed with all those opportunities , for sure .
