Impact Wrestling Joins the Jericho Cruise
Impact Wrestling and Chris Jericho have come together in a partnership that will see Impact stars on the Jericho cruise in October of 2018.
Chris Jericho took to Instagram on Tuesday to make a major announcement in regard to his cruise happening in October of this year. In a meeting that likely stemmed from a Sami Callihan promo that questioned Jericho for not including him on his cruise, Jericho got the hint that Impact Wrestling wanted to be involved (realistically, there may have been talks prior). The two sides conducted a meeting and immediately following that meeting, Jericho posted that Impact was officially now “on board”

Whether this means just Callihan or a number of talents will be involved is uncertain but this now makes it Jericho, Ring of Honor, NJPW, Impact Wrestling and almost no current WWE talent as part of the cruise.
The names involved are starting to get more extensive. The cruise will be hosted by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler and scheduled to appear:
WRESTLERS
- Beer City Bruiser, Ring of Honor
- The Briscoes (Mark & Jay Briscoe), ROH World Tag Team Champions

While some of these names are loosely connected to the WWE, it’s starting to speak loudly that WWE is not involved. Speculation is that Jericho wanted NXT talent, but the invitation was declined. Now, with the success of indie wrestling and shows like All In, it’s working out wonderfully for Jericho and company. WWE may be wishing they had made another choice by choosing to sit this one out.
This certainly also adds fuel to the rumors that Jericho and Impact Wrestling might be talking about a possible Jericho match in the Impact Zone sooner than later.
