After years of turning them down, Chris Jericho explains why he FINALLY accepted an appearing function the place he portrayed a wrestler and extra!
If there are two issues in life that I really like, they’re horror and wrestling. So, the thought of mixing the 2 looks like a match made in heaven for this diabolical fan. Darkish Match takes the world {of professional} wrestling and offers it a satanic edge. And who higher to have as your charismatic wrestling chief than AEW’s personal Chris Jericho? His character of The Chief/The Prophet is each bit as twisted as you’ll count on. And with this coming from the author/director of Wolfcop, the stage is ready for a enjoyable time. I truly actually loved my time with Darkish Match (and you’ll take a look at the overview HERE).
Speaking to Chris Jericho was a dream come true as there are few higher talkers within the business. And given his huge love for horror, it was nice to choose his mind concerning the style. Regardless of being a wrestler for over 30 years, Jericho doesn’t are likely to take wrestling roles in his appearing work, so it was nice to have the ability to discover out what made this venture so particular. It’s additionally nice to listen to the respect he has for the craft, and particularly, Steven Ogg, who does a implausible job within the movie. He additionally will get into a few of the logistics of filming this whereas being energetic in an enormous wrestling promotion in addition to touring together with his band, Fozzy.
Darkish Match Plot: A small-time wrestling firm accepts a well-paying however too-good-to-be-true gig in a backwoods city solely to be taught, too late, that the neighborhood is run by a mysterious cult chief… and their occasion is now a pay-per-view combat to the loss of life.
