World Wrestling Entertainment star Chris Jericho - who's fulfilling dreams for the down-and-out on a new reality show - can't forget when he was trying to get his feet off the ground in Morristown, Tenn.

Back then, he was working for the homegrown Smoky Mountain Wrestling organization, which eventually bred many superstars such as Kane (Jefferson County resident Glen Jacobs) for the WWE.

Jericho wasn't making much money, got hurt a lot and lived in a small apartment in Morristown, hoping his career would take off. "It was weird because I was 22 years old, and I was living in a dry county," the pro wrestler said recently.

"There were no bars, nothing going on."

He tried to get to Knoxville "to have some fun," but when he couldn't make it, he had a plan B.

"I'd go to the 24-hour Wal-Mart in Morristown," he said. "I'd go to the Sizzler, and I went to a lot of movies. Thank goodness for Morristown's movie theater."

What'd he like most about Knoxville? "It was a nice town, a lot of good-old hometown people," he said. "It was fun. I enjoyed it."

That was a long time ago for the Canadian performer whose real name is Christopher Irvine. His wrestling career has had him winning championship belts and seeing the world.

After a decade in the WWE, Jericho, who is now nearing 40, left to try other things - like a singing career and even stand-up comedy.

Preview:World Heavyweight Champion John Cena vs. Chris Jericho
Posted by:Jasmina	25 Nov 2008	WWE News
Chris Jericho spent months kicking, clawing and cheating his way toward the World Heavyweight Championship. Then, at Survivor Series, a booming John Cena FU took it all away. With such a heartshattering loss, a conniving Jericho will likely stop at nothing to feel the gold once more in his hands. There’s little doubt that the man who first came to “Save Us” and now needs saving himself has already begun plotting his resurgence at Armageddon. For Cena, a man who feels so passionately about competing, watching from the sidelines must have made three months ooze along like syrup in Siberia. That long, lengthy wait makes it impossible to think that Cena will give up at Armageddon without the fight of his life. When these two diametrically opposed individuals � a man who feels he owes the WWE Universe everything and a man who feels he owes the WWE Universe nothing � clash in the ring, each is guaranteed to expend 100 percent to prove that he was right all along. Catch Armageddon live, only on pay-per-view Dec. 14.
