Somehow this...
Man @IAmJericho is starting to look like @sebastianbach #aew

... led to an hours-long back-and-forth between Chris Jericho, Fozzy frontman & former AEW World champ, and Sebastian Bach, who’s most famous for being the lead singer of 80s and 90s metal act Skid Row.
Before it was over, it would involve accusations of lip synching, ye olde “wrestling is fake” argument, and even some numbers talk. Gotta keep working that #DemoGod gimmick.
He definitely does considering that he mimes to a tape

Hi... I’m Chris “Milli Vanilli” Jericho. I have 5 top 30 singles in the last five years w my band @FOZZYROCK. I’m a huge fan of @sebastianbach ... who had 3 top 30 singles 30 years ago. I always admired him as a singer and a friend! And I still do. https://t.co/fTPGmzBtSq

I’ve seen the derogatory comments towards me from somebody I considered to be a friend. So with that in mind, I’ll be happy to have a SING OFF w @sebastianbach! No effects, no tuning, no bullshit. Bas is a great singer...but I’m better. You’ve got my number dude. Call me.

I’ve never mimed anything ever! And I don’t use *** in a tweet ever. I will fucking sing in your face anytime, anyplace dude. I’ve been a fan & a defender of u since day one...but don’t u ever question my rock abilities! And leave wrestling out of this...I can hit a G4 brah! https://t.co/U2hV7jjg42

Sadly, it seems it might be over before the sing-off. But Bach is still trying.
