John 5: Ghost, Guitar, and Going 50 for 50

Ugly Kid Joe frontman Whitfield Crane and Chris Jericho traded vocals on a song at Lemmy’s 70th birthday at the Whiskey on the Sunset Strip. And they are sharing a stage again starting May 4th when Ugly Kid Joe and Fozzy launch their co-headlining tour! Whit has fantastic stories about living (seriously, LIVING) on Motorhead’s tour bus, and touring with Van Halen (including doing shots with bassist Michael Anthony in the middle of an EVH solo). He recounts the early days of Ugly Kid Joe from their formation in Santa Barbara to releasing their monster EP, “Ugly As They Wanna Be,” to their near instant success thanks to MTV to the making of their latest studio album, “Rad Wings Of Destiny.” Whit explains how they escaped the fate of other 80s metal bands when grunge arrived, why the band parted ways in 1997, and what finally brought them back together in 2010.

Chris Jericho held an impromptu Q+A session on the Chris Jericho Rock & Wrestling Rager at Sea Four Leaf Clover during a particularly rainy afternoon on the cruise!  Comedian Brad Williams hosted the event (improved a bit along the way), and selected some very good questions! Jericho talks about his favorite all-time opponent (The Rock), his best and worst catchphrases (anyone remember razzle dazzle?), meeting Shawn Michaels as a teen in Winnipeg, career dream matches, the behind-the-scenes story about his recent loss to Action Andretti, breaking his arm at Smokey Mountain Wrestling, what and who made The List so successful, and Kevin Owens and the Festival of Friendship. He also answers questions about making movies with Kevin Smith, performing on The Masked Singer, the origin of the Jericho cruise, and whether or not he’d be retired at this point if AEW had not started.

Devin Bray is the promoter and founder of Winnipeg Pro Wrestling. Guess where? In Winnipeg, of course! He even graduated from the same high school as Jericho (just a few years later). He explains what inspired him to start WPW, how he managed to grow the company and his fan base, and why dropping a belt is one of the hardest things for a booker to figure out. He talks about some of the WPW regulars like PCO, AJ Sanchez, Red Hot Summer, and the current Champions Bobby Schink and Jody Threat! He shares the gimmick that AEW’s Top Flight (aka Daunte and Darius Martin) used when they wrestled at WPW, and what he thinks about Dungeon Wrestling, the promotion recently launched by Bret Hart’s sons, Blade and Dallas, and Mo Jabari. Plus, he shares details about the card for WPW’s already sold out, Fight At The Museum, happening April 8th at Alloway Hall at the Manitoba Museum.   Thank you for supporting our sponsors!

Who’s interviewing who in this hilariously awkward interview/conversation between Jericho and RJ City. They trade questions, volleys, and stories about their various reality TV experiences, scripted TV series, and movies. CJ questions RJ being type cast as a wrestler in most projects he films, and RJ grills Jericho in turn on his inability to win reality singing competitions despite being a professional singer. They talk David Arquette, Clint Bobski, MJF, WWE, AEW, catchphrases (including the short-lived GFA), and Lindsay Lohan. RJ also explains what inspired his YouTube show, “Hey! (EW),” and how he approaches prep and guests for each episode. And grab a dictionary for this one because there are some seriously impressive, high-flying words from both gentlemen!   Watch new episodes of Hey!
