– Chris Jericho’s shots at Kenny Omega and NJPW over the weekend may be part of an angle, according to a new report. As you may recall, Jericho — who said Omega was “overrated” in response to a fan on Twitter — is hosting a Rock ‘n Wrestling Rager sea cruise this coming weekend. As Wrestling Inc notes, the cruise will include a “Sea of Honor” tournament from ROH and Jericho said that the matchups will “blow your minds.”

The cruise will take place from October 27th through the 31st. ROH has yet to reveal the matches.

– Mick Foley spooke with FOX Business promoting his new book Saint Mick: My Journey From Hardcore Legend to Santa’s Jolly Elf. Foley said during the interview that it was tougher for him to play Santa than his WWE personas of Mankind and Cactus Jack.

“Mankind and Cactus Jack… they required me to be tougher and stronger and much more aggressive than I am naturally as a person,” Foley said. “Whereas portraying Santa Claus, effectively, you have to dig deep but you dig deep to become kinder and gentler and wiser.”
