6 wrestlers who appeared on Dancing with the Stars

#2. Chris Jericho appeared on Season 12 of Dancing with the Stars

Chris Jericho is a master at reinventing himself, so when it came to Dancing with the Stars he had no problem adapting. At the time, Jericho was on a sabatical from WWE, which allowed him time to perform on the show in 2011. Le Champion was paired with Cheryl Burke and the duo ended up being eliminated 5th from the competition.

The former AEW World Champion spoke with San Antonio Metal Music Examiner about appearing on the show:

"As far as being in front of people, fine, but what I was doing in front of people I'd never done before in my life; I'd never danced before. And they had asked me on two other occasions to do it, and I said no. It wasn't until [former 'Dancing With The Stars' contestant] Stacy Keibler called me and and said, 'You've gotta do this.' Stacy and I were pretty close for awhile. She was, like, 'I keep telling ya, telling ya, telling ya.' And so I said, 'If I don't do it now, they'll never ask me again. I'll trust her judgment, so I'll give it a try." Chris Jericho said (h/t Blabber Mouth)
