Chris Jericho Appearing in Upcoming SNL Movie, Vince Wants Laurinaitis to Wrestle

Posted by Marc Middleton on Thursday, August 13th, 2009

- Alex sent the following: There is an article on FoxSports.com about James Laurinaitis. It talks about James, his dad (Animal) and wrestling. In the article James says every time he sees Vince McMahon, Vince tells him if the football thing doesn’t work out to join him in the family business. The article also says that wrestling wasn’t his first-sports related passion, as it was football and hockey while growing up outside of Minneapolis.

- Chris Jericho will be appearing in the upcoming “MacGruber” feature film based on a popular recurring Saturday Night Live sketch. SNL cast member Will Forte stars as MacGruber, a takeoff on the popular 1980s television show MacGyver. IMDB.com calls the MacGruber character “a bumbling secret agent whose lack of skill and abundance of personal problems serve as a detriment to him — and those around him.” Hollywood heavyweights Val Kilmer and Ryan Phillippe will also have roles in the film, which is currently filming in New Mexico. Chris Jericho just wrote on Twitter, “Chilling in my trailer on set preparing for my scene…lion face lemon face lion face lemon face.”
