WWE News: Chris Jericho will be a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars"

WWE star Chris Jericho will be named a cast member of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," according to TMZ. Jericho will be paired with Cheryl Burke. You can read the names of the five non-wrestlers who are confirmed for the show at TMZ.com. [Thanks to Dot Net reader Zack Takes]

Powell's POV: I had a hunch that Jericho hosting the VH1 metal awards wasn't the only thing he had cooking. He's been forced to turn down the show twice in the past due to scheduling issues. With WWE on the back burner for now, Jericho is free to take part in the show. Congratulations to Jericho. In case you missed it, I posted my review of his latest book "Undisputed" last week. You can access it in the book review section.
