Wither Fozzy?
February 12th, 2012 | 
Author: When he’s not inside a WWE ring, Chris Jericho pays his mortgage as the front back of Fozzy, which began as an Ozzy Osbourne tribute act. Founded by Rich Ward in 1999, Jericho soon became associated with the band and brought them wider attention as their front man.
It’s not clear whether their drummer uses Alesis DM8s or something else, but they’ve always performed with professional equipment, not the cheap knockoffs that so many cover bands are known for.
Last month, Fozzy announced a new record deal with Century Media Records, so don’t expect Jericho’s return to WWE to last very long; their next album is due this summer.

Jericho proves pre-return hype was just that
Long before his current return to WWE, Chris Jericho was Tweeting and blogging “off the cuff” reactions to C.M. Punk’s title reign, practically accusing the WWE champ of plagiarizing Jericho’s gimmicks and career. Last week’s RAW proves that was Jericho marketing a feud he desired for his return, as he spoke at length for the first time since coming back to RAW.
His energetic speech hit all the right talking points, and proved he is still a great talker. And C.M. Punk’s wordless response played into Jericho’s claims to increase the feud, by aping Jericho’s month-plus-long gimmick of appearing and saying nothing.
I knew this was going to be a WrestleMania-worthy match-up. Now the joy is merely in watching it play out.
