WWE Wrestler Wows Ivy League Kids

About a hundred World Wresting Entertainment fans gathered to see Chris Jericho - wrestler turned actor, television personality, radio host, rock star and now author - at a book-signing appearance for his first book, A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex.

According to Jericho, the book is a "coming-of-age story" depicting how he "got to the pot of gold, with wrestling as a backdrop." [...] "The Sexy Beast," as Jericho is known, took a hiatus from wrestling beginning in 2004 after a loss to fellow WWE wrestler John Cena.

Rumors of a possible comeback spread throughout the line of fans, but Jericho was reluctant to respond to questions about it.

Although fans had little to say about Jericho's latest TV movie, Android Apocalypse, they said they enjoyed his literary debut.

Ahh, yes, literary giant Chris Jericho speaks at the Penn Bookstore. Was there a screening of Android Apocalypse to coincide with his book signing? That film is from 2006, so the writer was looking up things to add to the article on IMDb. Or he somehow saw Android Apocalypse last year.
