Chris Jericho is a fan of the idea of turning pro wrestling into an Olympic sport.
The FTW Champion recently appeared on the Blocks Podcast, where he spoke about this.
He said, “I’ve started to really think about how pro wrestling could easily be an Olympic sport because it’s an athletic display between two people, much like figure skating or synchronized swimming or anything else that’s judged on points.”
Jericho continued, “Think about that. So, let’s say I’m from Canada. Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega are the best wrestlers from Canada. We put together our routine, and then you got Will Ospreay and Michael Oku from England. They put together their routine. Then you got to know Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson from the United States, putting together their routine. Then the judges would say, ‘Okay, this was the best,’ It doesn’t matter who wins or loses. Like figure skating.”
