A CHAT WITH CHRIS JERICHO
With the release of Shutter’s “Dark Match” we spoke with legendary wrestler Chris Jericho who stars in the horror film. He plays a wrestler that took things too far, but his loyal fans continued to follow him to a dark and evil path.
In our conversation we talk about his role in the film, as well as brining his wrestling experience to help the production get things right when it came to showing what its like at indy shows. Jericho also talked about how excited he is to act and be challenged by different roles. It was a great conversation that you can check out below!
