He went on to win a total of six world championships in WWE. He also won the WWE intercontinental championship for a record number of nine times. Indeed, he is a legend of WWE and professional wrestling.
Chris Jericho who is the inaugural AEW World Champion is set to feature in the new UPtv Original Film ‘Country Hearts’ as per reports from Variety. Here is what the media source had to say about this big news;
“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!’ 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 plot synopsis of the upcoming movie ‘Country Hearts’ is provided by the Wrestling Headlines, “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.”
