Will the contestants be renamed "psychophants" and "Parasites?"

Just in case anyone not into wrestling might be confused, the word he was going for was "sycophant."

And it would be to Chris's benefit to host and not be the heel he's so good at being.

Especially for a guy with a history of wanting to prove he's more than just a wrestler. This is a pretty big opportunity for him if he wants it to be.

Fozzy was great for people who were present at club gigs. This is a national TV gig. Somewhat different in scope.

I will say that Jericho was pretty engaging whenever he popped up on VH1's "I Love The (insert decade here)", and that his ring persona, obviously, was fun as hell.  Hopefully, whatever this format is, it encourages to be himself and display a personality, rather than be Man With Serious Face Reading From Prompter.

I hope I'm right - but I think he'll be the "citizen" that grew on us when he was on VH1.  Better yet, it'll throw the "IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMNIT" people for a loop when they get the "BUT HE ISN'T LIKE THIS ON WRESTLING" just like people were surprised when Eddie Murphy and Bob Saget go blue on the road.

/will approve if Stephanie McMahon-Levesque shows up and he cuts a promo on her, though

Also, college radio, for some reason.
