Renowned professional wrestler and rock star Chris Jericho, famed for his spectacular two-decade-long career spanning WWE and AEW, is exploring uncharted territories, expressing an openness to the world of Broadway. Jericho, also the charismatic frontman for the rock band Fozzy, engaged in a candid conversation with The Messenger, delving into the multifaceted dimensions of his illustrious career, which include stints as an actor and a game show host.

Jericho emphasized his versatility and refusal to be pigeonholed, stating, “I never ever put myself in a box for anything that I do. I’m an entertainer. If I said I wanted to play center for the L.A. Kings, it’s probably not going to happen.

But if I say I want to do Broadway, why not?" Drawing upon his extensive experience captivating audiences worldwide, Jericho showcased his readiness to take on Broadway, saying, “I can act, I can sing. I understand what it’s like to be in front of a crowd.

Anything that’s in that world for me, I’m open to it. I could get an offer to do Broadway tomorrow, and if it came my way, I would seriously consider it. I never thought I’d get an offer to play an ex-rock star father who is now a horse breeding farmer."

As this wrestling icon contemplates a transition to the Broadway stage, the entertainment world watches in anticipation, curious to see how Jericho’s diverse talents will translate in the realm of theater.

With his dynamic presence and unparalleled flair for performance, Chris Jericho is poised to take on Broadway with the same vigor and passion that has defined his career in the wrestling ring and on the music stage.
