Power Move: Chris Jericho Brought His Band Fozzy To AEW's All In So He Could Sing His Own Entrance Song In Front Of 80,000 At Wembly Stadium
Oh fuck yeah that's the good stuff. Chris Jericho is wrestling royalty. I don't care if you stopped watching in 2000, I don't care if you're a father of 2 in your late 30s and still watching wrestling like myself. You know who Chris Jericho is. You might know him as Lion Tamer or the whole Y2J bit or now him in AEW, you just know him. But this? This is awesome.
Why?
Because this is Jericho's actual band Fozzy. That's right, Jericho's side gig is being a lead singer for a rock band. This is his normal entrance song, which is, yeah, of course sung by him. But I've never seen it live. We've seen the crowd embrace it:
Now we have him going live as he's walking to the ring to wrestle Will Osprey. Quick sidenote, tell me Will Osprey doesn't look like Will Compton
But come on, I don't care if you think wrestling is 'fake' (I know it is, but it's still real to me, damnit). Singing your own song in front of a packed Wembley Stadium is flat out awesome. It's a power move. I've talked about it before but I couldn't be more in on wrestling right now. I got in again with AEW a few years back and WWE has really picked up with their storylines. It's a great time to be a wrestling fan, even if you have to explain to your wife why you want to sit in the office and watch some guys grapple. That's rasslin.
And yeah Judas slaps. I know it's not DX, but it's an elite song for wrestling.
