10 Completely RANDOM Cameos In AEW
5. Impractical Jokers
"Hey, Q?"
"Yeah, buddy?"
"Go out on national television, run off a few jokes about your knob, and get slammed through a table by Chris Jericho and his mates."
...
That is the only acceptable explanation for whatever the hell happened on this February 2023 broadcast of Rampage.
The Tenderloins, the quartet-turned-trio behind the immensely successful Impractical Jokers series, are life-long pro wrestling fans. They've been snapped adorning wrestling t-shirts, have been spotted on-screen at various WWE events, and, per Brian 'Q' Quinn in an interview with WhatCulture.com's Graham Matthews, they're friends with Elias - but what was this?
Celebrities working wrestling angles is nothing new, not even in the comparatively short-lived All Elite Wrestling, and they do work, but The Jericho Appreciation Society slandering Quinn and James 'Murr' Murray on Rampage, talking about Chris Jericho's balls, and drilling Quinn through a table, who was left looking as if he was taking a power nap atop the broken wooded surface rather than having been harmed, was pointless. Jericho was booked to face Ricky Starks at the forthcoming Revolution pay-per-view, and yet, 'Absolute' Ricky just didn't turn up for the save.
Did he prefer the mercifully short-lived Impractical Jokers UK?
