Chris Jericho famously doubles as both one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and the frontman for the rock band Fozzy. As such, he has unfettered access to both cultures and maintains his connections by continuing to be his swaggering, suave self at every available opportunity.

So it makes sense that he would be tapped by the band Ghost to appear in the instagram music video for their single Dance Macabre. Aleister Black was asked to be in it presumably because he's Aleister Black. The man looks like he was born on the set of a Metallica video. So far, so logical.

Both appear early in the video. Jericho comes first and he starts by rocking out in front of an aquarium, presumably in his own house. Given the look on his face and the fact that he didn't even bother to leave home or dress up for the occasion, it's unclear if he's even listening to the right song.

Black, then the NXT Champion, then appears and shadow boxes the camera for a hot second before stepping back awkwardly to show off his shiny cummerbund. Both make secondary appearances where they do the exact same general motions as before. It's clear that Jericho was doing it as more or less a favor and was happy to mime his movements rather than put effort into it and Black's inclusion was just one of WWE's more hesitant branding outreaches.
