The Gig is Up: Chris Jericho Eliminated from Celebrity Duets

Well, that didn't last long.

Last night, on the premiere edition of Celebrity Duets, a certain former WWE Champion was the first contestant eliminated.

Indeed, Chris Jericho can be lauded for his attempt to be accepted into the mainstream, but the adventure was short-lived.

Despite recording experience as Fozzy's lead singer, Jericho failed to match the talent celebrities such as Alfonso Ribiero and Lea Thompson. Ouch.

Jericho didn't garner a lot of judge support for his version of "Mendocino County Line" with country music star Lee Ann Womack. At least"Signed, Sealed and Delivered," his duet with Peter Frampton, received a better reaction ... but it wasn't good enough.

Solid effort, Y2J. Now stop this singing thing. Smackdown could really use you.
