And Jericho is coming back when? Doesn't seem to be anytime soon. He just keeps on with all his other interests. I don't know how old he is..40ish I would guess. Maybe he's done.

How long is he leaving for?
This sounds to me like a short break only to come back as a revitalized contender wanting another shot that he came oh so close to realizing.
It's a little old, but.........
Chris Jericho Admits He Considers Return to WWE Right Now
Jan 31, 2011
Ever since Chris Jericho walked away from WWE four months ago, people have been wondering when he will be returning to the wrestling company.
Not just wondering either -- besieging him with comments saying that they want him back in the ring sooner rather than later. It's something that fans have been through before with Jericho as he left wrestling in 2005 and took a two-year hiatus before returning to WWE.
He has openly said that he's not sure when or even if he will be back in wrestling. But Jericho also admits that he considers a return right now.
"I consider it always because it's not like it was in 2005 where I was sick of wrestling." Jericho told FanHouse. "Sick of it is maybe a harsh word. Disenchanted, I guess, is a better word. I wasn't disenchanted when I left in September. It was just my contract was up. That was it. And there were other things just waiting to come through. Even if I was coming back, I always would have taken those four months, three months off to do the Fozzy tours. Then other things have kind of popped up to delay my return."
"When the time comes for me to do that, I'll be happy to come back and if I never went back to wrestling, I'm happy with that too."

Jericho: I'm WWE for life
By ROB McNICHOL
Published: 30 May 2011
CHRIS JERICHO insists his heart will always belong to the WWE — despite his involvement with other projects including his band Fozzy and TV show Dancing with the Stars.
Some fans saw him doing the reality show — the US equivalent of Strictly Come Dancing — as a risk, fearing he would show up the wrestling industry.
But Chris says he has received almost unanimous support from his peers, who thanked him for showing a wider audience the positive and fun side of the business.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Jericho said: "Why wouldn't the WWE support it?
"Why wouldn't Vince McMahon be 100 per cent behind it? Because every week, twice a week, you have 22 million people hearing the name WWE.
"And you have 22 million people seeing this guy Chris Jericho, and even though I'm not wrestling there right now, I always will be a WWE guy and will be associated with that in one way, shape or form.
"I think it helped their perception because they are trying to get in the mainstream as well.
"And there's nothing more mainstream than Dancing with the Stars. It's the number one show in the country. It raises your recognition factor right off the bat.
"Five million people watch Raw, but 22 million people watch Dancing with the Stars, so there are obviously people who don't have any idea what wrestling is.
"I went a long way to changing the perceptions and changing the stereotypes of what wrestlers do. I kind of feel I was a pioneer.
"I guarantee I won't be the last WWE superstar that does the show. I bet they'll look for other guys to do it over the next little while."
Speaking about the programme, on which he was the fifth elimination, Jericho added: "It was a little bit nerve-wracking because it was something I'd never done before ever.
"Let me do something for first time ever in front of twenty two million people — yeah, that's a good idea, right?
"I thought that I could do it because it's a form of art, like being a musician or being a wrestler.
"There are a lot of similarities between wrestling and dancing. You have to be light on your feet, there's choreography you have to remember, balance, appealing to the live crowd and being a showman.
