Chris Jericho joined us on the Pain Clinic December 1st. Right out of the shoot we started talking about Chris's return in Ft. Lauderdale 2 weeks ago. Chris talked about the vibe of the crowd. The recent viral video was compared to the original countdown clock of his 1st debut.

When the "save us" videos started John Cena was still champion and we asked Chris if the plans changed due to Cena's injury. Chris said there were no set plans before he debuted.

The reaction to his book was great from the fans who came out to his signings. He told the publishing company that he needed to heavy promotion to make it successful.

He got some advice from Mick before the book was published (as well as a quote for the cover.) Mick is the guru for writing a wrestling book. Mick helped him with some thoughts to help the storytelling.

The book ended as he joined the WWF and he said this book was about achieving a dream he had as a child and that was joining the WWF. He throws out some ideas about writing the sequel. He thinks that the true history is boring so he needs an angle to the next story.

We compliment him on his WCW portion of the book. He thinks that may be something told over-and-over but it was necessary to include. Chris succeeded despite the politics in the business of WCW.

Allot of Chris's history in WCW can be found on Youtube and Chris gives it kudos. He forgot half the stuff he did before seeing it on Youtube.

Chris talks about rejoining the WWE and missing the good times. Chris talks about who he'd like to work with since rejoining. He thinks Santino is awesome and looks forward to working with anyone. He always felt he could work with anyone.

Fozzy is brought up and Chris talks about whets going on with them. He talks about Lillian Garcia's album and possibly doing something with her.

Chris will be in the Buffalo/Rochester area soon and he may be doing a sighing soon. He said to check out chrisjericho.com for more details. We let you all know where you can get "A Lion's Tale: Around The World In Spandex" and let Chris go!
