Chris Jericho Talks About the Origins of His Iconic Y2J Entrance
On my latest Talkin’ Rock podcast episode, Chris Jericho talked about his iconic Y2J entrance. He told me just where he stole that iconic pose from.
“If you ever watch that promo, a little tidbit is I come out with my back to the crowd with my arms out,” he said. “Ya know, it’s the famous Y2J/Jericho pose. I stole that from Michael Jackson, who I saw live in Mexico City in 1993 when I was wrestling there. He came out with his back to the audience and stood there for about three minutes. And then he put his arms out and people went absolutely crazy. I didn’t have time to do three minutes, but I stood there for a good ten, fifteen seconds, that was a total Michael Jackson idea.”
Listen to the rest of the interview below. He talks about his band Fozzy, his podcast, being in the entertainment business, sleeping masks (??) and lots more.
