Chris Jericho and his "Dancing with the Stars" partner, Cheryl Burke, appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" talk show Tuesday night following Jericho's elimination from DWTS.

Jericho, who was introduced as "from WWE," was the third guest on the show along with Cheryl. After talking up the hard work that went into DWTS and Cheryl being a taskmaster preparing for each week, Jericho threw out a line that "it worked out well."

Kimmel quipped back, "Well, it didn't work out for you. You were eliminated." Jericho, who was in full Jericho mode, shot back, "Oh, that's why we're here?!"

After Jericho did some impersonations of DWTS judge Len Goodman and Ozzy Osbourne, the talk turned to how Jericho's wrestling brethren reacted to him on the show.

Jericho said there was expected laughter at first when it was announced he would be on the show, but once he got past the first week without being eliminated, the "sticklers in WWE" joined his colleagues rallying behind him each successive week.

Jericho noted former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler was the first person from WWE to appear on DWTS, but he was the first male to make an appearance, making him a self-proclaimed pioneer for WWE.

After some wrestling jokes about appearing in front of a crowd, getting oiled up, and wearing little clothing helping Jericho prepare for DWTS, they cut to a clip of Kimmel's regular castmember, Guillermo, set to burn Jericho's dancing shoes outside the studio.

In the pre-taped clip, Jericho, who was in the same outfit he wore for the interview, blasted Guillermo across the back with a steel chair. Jericho, in-character, quietly told him, "Stupid sonofabitch."

Back in the studio, Jericho laughed at his bit and they wrapped up the four-minute interview. They cut back to the pre-tape to show Jericho closing out the segment, "Nobody touches my dancing shoes."
