Andy Black on his wrestling influences, WWE, Chris Jericho and The Ghost of Ohio (Exclusive)

Andy Biersack at WWE HQ

You've appeared as the soundtrack for two WWE pay-per-views, once as part of Black Veil Brides with In The End for Hell In A Cell 2014, and the other as Andy Black with We Don't Have To Dance for Payback 2016, and in the 2K17 game. How did that come about?

Yeah, I've always had a great relationship with WWE. When I'm in town, I get to go to the offices, they let us visit, and hang out. Obviously I know Chris Jericho well, who's now in AEW, but we first met when he was in WWE still.

I've been very fortunate that they've always been very kind to us with putting my music out, and it's kind of just been a very natural relationship. For a long time, we would make a record and just give them a CD. "Hey! Here's a song." And even Set The World On Fire, we had a lot of songs, and they used a lot of the Black Veil songs, so it's really cool.

For me, being a fan growing up, it's really awesome.

And you're such a big character on stage, and of course, you're no stranger to getting injured while performing, but do you ever see yourself making an appearance in the ring, or even as a commentator, if WWE or AEW came calling - even as a one-off?

I could Andy Kaufman it! My way of wrestling would definitely be the Andy Kaufman style!
