Chris Jericho might have displayed the most inter-promotional hustle of any pro wrestler in 2018. After a highly anticipated, crazy match with Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom, he started a feud with another of NJPW’s biggest stars that’s now lasted most of the year and is set to finally climax on January 4, 2019. During this time, wrestling’s designated dad rock drifter also made cameo appearances on big WWE shows and showed up at All In.
That last one was to promote the Jericho Cruise – er, Chris Jericho’s Rock N’ Wrestling Rager At Sea, an event that included ROH, NJPW, and Impact talent wrestling on international waters. In addition to the use of talent from several large promotions, the wrestling section of the cruise, with a match between The Bucks of Jericho/Y2Jackson and Kenny Omega, Marty Scurll, and Cody was heavily promoted with a storyline on Being The Elite.
We don’t know yet who else will be involved in this sequel cruise, but we know that Chris Jericho will take to the high seas again after he announced the “#SecondWave” or “#RockNWrestlingRagerPartDeux” on social media earlier today.
With “details coming in late January,” cue speculation as to whether this next event will tie into the rumored Elite wrestling promotion, to which Jericho was linked in early reports.
