Former AEW World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho does a lot of different things besides being a professional wrestler. He is an actor, and he is also the lead singer of Fozzy. The inaugural AEW World Heavyweight Champion wanted to bring the world of professional wrestling and the world of music together. That (along with some inspiration from the KISS Cruise) is how he came up with the idea, the Chris Jericho Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea.
Recently, during an episode of the Talk is Jericho podcast, the former WWE Superstar pondered over the idea of having an All Elite Wrestling Pay-per-view on the Chris Jericho Cruise. He claimed that it would be great if the PPV took place on the cruise.
Jericho also mentioned being able to tape an episode of AEW Dynamite on the Cruise back in 2020. He also mentioned that back then, Tony Khan was against taping shows and was pushing for nothing but live telecasts. But then it turned out that the whole world shut down in about a year later and every show was taped.
“I think it would be such a great idea,” Jericho said. “I really loved doing Dynamite from the cruise… It was an amazing experience to do it; we taped it, which is so funny because, at the time, Tony [Khan] was really against taping the show. Then eight months later, every show is taped because of the pandemic.” [H/T WrestlingInc.]
The Ocho also claimed that that specific taping of AEW Dynamite reminded him of the episodes of WCW Nitro tht took place from Club La Vela in Panama City.
“It reminded me of when we used to do Nitro from Club La Vela in Panama City every year. You knew you were getting to see something different from the norm.” [H/T WrestlingInc.]
