Fozzy is the rock band fronted by professional wrestler Chris Jericho, formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1999 with guitarist Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo. What began as a side project playing covers evolved into a legitimate hard rock act, with the hit 'Judas' becoming one of the most successful crossover singles between wrestling and rock. Ward's muscular riffing and Jericho's charismatic stage presence, honed through decades in the ring, make Fozzy a genuinely entertaining live act that has outgrown its novelty origins.
