Jericho To Star In New Movie - May 2023
Chris
Jericho has done a variety of movie cameos throughout
his career including “MacGruber,” “Jay
and Silent Bob Reboot,” “KillRoy Was Here”
and “Terrifier 2,” among others.
Now,
Variety
has revealed that Jericho will star in a role
similar to his personal life in the UPtv original
film, “Country Hearts.” The movie will premiere
sometime this fall.
The
film’s summary says the plot follows “the
daughters of country music and rock & roll royalty
who find themselves at a crossroads, torn between
following their dreams of performing or helping their
father run their up-and-coming horse breeding business.
Between old flames, new love, best friends and family
– they’ll all need the strength of each
other to face the next steps.”
The
film also stars Lance McAuley, who is best known for
her recurring role as musician Emma Rogers on Hallmark’s
Chesapeake Shores, and as Liza in the Netflix apocalypse
drama “How It Ends” starring Forest Whitaker.
Other cast members include Brendan Morgan (“The
Handmaid’s Tale”), Katerina Maria (“A
Beautiful Rush”) and Michelle Nolden (“The
Time Traveler’s Wife”).
“After
playing evil priests, insane asylum security chiefs,
redneck social media whistle blowers and cult leaders,
I jumped at the chance to play a nice guy for once
in ‘Country Hearts!’” Jericho said
in a statement. “I was able to flex my acting
chops and my character range in these movies and it
was a blast to play Bones Jamieson…father, ranch
owner and rock star…which basically mirrors me
in real life!”
A
sequel, “Country Hearts Christmas,” has
already been greenlit.

Jericho wants to pitch pro wrestling for the Olympic
Games - December 2022
"I
literally want to go in front of the IOC, the International
Olympic Community, and pitch pro wrestling as an Olympic
sport. Now, you might go, 'How can you do that? It's
all,' now, hold on. Stop right there. Gymnastics,
pairs gymnastics, figure skating, pairs figure skating,
what is that? It's two people working together to
put on the best performance possible ... There is
no way we could not do the same with pro wrestling."

Chris
Jericho interviewed about wrestling, his rock band
Fozzy and more...
As
noted earlier, Chris Jericho appeared on AfterBuzz
TV's RAW aftershow last Tuesday night. Thanks to AfterBuzz
TV for sending this recap of his appearance:
WWE
Superstar Chris Jericho made an appearance on a special
edition of AfterBuzz TV's RAW aftershow Tuesday night.
The wrestling legend was invited on the network to
discuss his return to WWE and the new Syfy show, Robot
Combat League, which Jericho hosts. In the interview,
Jericho discusses his recent RAW Active match with
CM Punk, why his return to wrestling is different
than other Superstars, and how his now infamous jacket
came to fruition.
Growing
up, Jericho wanted to be two things: a pro wrestler
and a rock star. Now the 42-year-old wrestler is in
the middle of yet another return to the WWE and just
embarked on a multi-day Australian tour with his band,
Fozzy.
"This
past month has been one of my best months ever,"
Jericho says.
Jericho
is one of the few Superstars who has not only been
able to parlay his wrestling career into other aspects
of the entertainment industry, but also committed
enough to give 100% every time he reenters the ring.
He
tells AfterBuzz, "Nothing against what Rock does
or Brock or any of those guys, when I come back, I
don't just come back for Monday Night Raw. I do the
house shows."
Since
Jericho's return, he's reignited his feud with fellow
Superstars, Dolph Ziggler and CM Punk. He recounts
Feb 4th's WWE RAW Active match between himself and
CM Punk, where the writers created a poll to designate
which wrestler, out of Chris Jericho, Randy Orton
and Rey Mysterio, would face Punk. A flash poll earlier
in the week, predicted Orton to be the challenger
and the writers told Jericho to not prepare with Punk—he
would face Wade Barrett.
The
afternoon of the match, Jericho thought, "I knew
I was going to win [the RAW active poll]," and
he was right. He says the writers were shocked the
fans chose him over Orton.
Jericho
joked, "I went to the writers' room and said,
'All you guys with your flash polls, go F yourself,
you can suck it.'"
Later
in the interview, Y2J talks about how every time he
returns to wrestling he wants to do something fresh.
"I've
always wanted to be the Paul Stanley of wrestling...the
ultimate frontman or lead singer who commands the
crowd. Whenever I come back I try to do something
different," says Jericho. "I had this idea...Googled
and then found this designer, Jonathan Logan. Went
to visit him in the Fashion District and didn't really
know anything about him. Turns out he makes all of
Brad Pitt's stuff, all of Justin Bieber's stuff, David
Lee Roth's stuff."
After
collaborating on a design, Logan suggested adding
lights to the jacket as he had done for an Alecia
Keys outfit, thus creating the iconic glowing jacket
Jericho sports at shows.
As
cool as the jacket is, Jericho says, it's also a hassle.
"There's little wires and they snap all the time.
I constantly have to [fix] them." Jericho says
WWE's prop guys yell at him for having to fix the
jacket so frequently.
Jericho
divulges that the entire right side of his jacket
broke before his intro at Wrestlemania XXVIII last
year. "I had to turn and walk backwards and cheat
the camera," says Jericho, "I didn't want
anyone to see that the whole right side of my jacket
had gone out...this was literally two minutes before
I had to go to the ring. I was furious. I could have
given a crap about the match, all I cared about was
my stupid jacket."
When
asked about traveling with the jacket, Jericho mentioned
an instance when he was traveling and he originally
placed his jacket in his check luggage, however, the
luggage was overweight. Jericho had to remove the
jacket and take it as carry on, despite not having
a bag to put it in.
"I
had to ask [TSA] for a garbage bag. I put my big fancy
jacket in a garbage bag and put it through security.
One guy called me out and said 'Jericho man, that's
your jacket? You can't keep it in a plastic bag.'"
Another
recent change in appearance are Jericho's new tattoos.
He says, "I just thought it would be cool to
get a tattoo, something that means something to me.
It's something I've always wanted to do and now was
the time to do it."
On
Jericho's new show, Syfy's Robot Combat League, Jericho
enthuses, "It's Real Steel with actual Robots."
He says it's nothing like Mick Foley's robot show,
Robot Wars.
"The
first thing that I thought when I was in the arena
and they brought the robot out, if it hadn't stopped
walking I would have turned around and ran away. It
was that intimidating," Jericho says, "We've
now created robots that can kill humans, and in 10-years
when they take over the planet, you'll know you saw
it first on Robot Combat League."
Robot
Combat League premieres on Syfy Feb. 26th at 10/9c.
