11 Newsworthy Moments From Chris Jericho's Cruise (And What They Mean For Wrestling In 2019)

Last month, rumors began to circulate that a major new wrestling promotion may be in the works, aided by Jim Ross and Chris Jericho and funded by Shahid Khan -- the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars NFL franchise and Fulham F.C. who has a net worth of over seven billion dollars. Though, since October many of those rumors were denied and seemingly shot down.

However, Ross again fueled speculation about the new entity when he commented on WWE’s attempt to block Rey Mysterio from taking part in the cruise. “Somebody along the way is going to create another company and they won’t have to worry about that !*$%,” he said while sitting beside Chris Jericho. While it may not have been a hint of any sort, the tone and circumstances led many to jump back on the bandwagon of last month’s rumors.

While nothing is even close to confirmed, the sentiment that a major player could come along and completely change the modern landscape is possible. Currently, it seems doubtful, but if there was ever a time to try, it would be now. And if anyone is going to do it, Jim Ross, Chris Jericho, and possibly The Elite would be surefire picks to do so.
