10 Best Wrestling Tweets You Must Read (Before Twitter Dies)

2. Chris Jericho Accidentally Pitches The Best Worst Action Movie Ever

Chris Jericho has a high opinion of himself. It's part of what makes him great.

He once wrestled a dinosaur on an internationally televised wrestling show filmed on his own cruise ship, as fans sang his own self-penned entrance theme back at him, while holding a World title belt years and years and years after he had already established himself as an icon of the industry. Of course he thinks he's great. He mostly is, and when he isn't, another shockingly great run is never too far away.

He speaks, with no irony, in the third person. When he isn't in character. He squares up to people far bigger than him, knowing full well that they kill him with their bare hands, and has actually come out on top on one such occasion.

It's little wonder, then, that he deems himself capable of - albeit in a multi-man tag match - overcoming a terror cell equipped with weapons. In this tweet, Jericho, a clown too funny not to laugh with this time, genuinely thought he wasn't going to do the job in this scenario - which reads like one of those silly title-first, plot-second films that were fashionable for a brief time in the late 2000s/early 2010s.

Monsters Vs. Aliens. Strippers Vs. Werewolves. WWE Superstars Vs. Terrorists.

The mental image conjured by this tweet is unbelievable: Jericho locking in the Liontamer against a trained killer, screaming "Come on, beh-beh!"
