Dot Net reader Shawn Valentino attended a Chris Jericho book signing at the Barnes and Nobles at The Grove mall in Los Angeles, Calif. on Monday and filed the following report.

Chris Jericho and his dance partner Cheryl Burke arrived together about an hour late as about 30 or 40 fans waited patiently. They did a little question and answer session. Jericho was asked who his favorite wrestler to work with was and he unsurprisingly said Shawn Michaels. He said that the two shared a great chemistry and called Michaels a genius. He talked about punching HBK's wife in the face and said that he originally was not supposed to hit her that hard but she walked into the punch and that added heat to the feud. He also said that Brock Lesnar was a genuinely tough guy.

They were both excited about finishing about their performance in Dancing With the Stars. Burke said that she had never heard of Jericho prior to the show and was surprised to find out that he was actually an attractive guy, "unlike most wrestlers." Jericho came across as very charming and charismatic.

This was a great buildup to WrestleMania week for me because I am attending my 9th Mania in the last ten years. I am currently at the wrestlers' hotel and have seen seen guys like R-Truth, Chis Masters and Daniel Bryan randomly walking by.
