Chris Jericho made an appearance in-studio on the Opie & Anthony
show on XM Channel 202 on Monday.
-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.

Some day when Jericho no longer works for WWE, I would LOVE to hear
his REAL thoughts on what goes on in that company.
