    AEW Star Chris Jericho Wants To Produce Movie Based On Painmaker Persona, Is Working On Graphic Novel

    Chris Jericho is one of the busiest men in professional wrestling history, having a successful career as the lead singer of the rock band Fozzy, and multiple best selling novels about his career. Right now, he’s the reigning ROH World Champion, and seems to also be part of the cast of The Masked Singer. However, Jericho wants to take on another world – as he has an idea for a movie based on one of his in-ring personas, The Painmaker.

    Chris Jericho Is Working On Graphic Novel, Hopes For Movie About The Painmaker

    While speaking with Howie Mandel on the ‘Howie Mandel Does Stuff’ podcast – Jericho would detail plans he had for a Painmaker movie and would reveal a graphic novel is in the works. Jericho had the following to say about these plans – and some plot details.

    “The idea is to make it into a movie at some point. That’s my overall goal. We’re just writing and illustrating the graphic novel now. So the idea is The Painmaker is an intergalactic former serial killer. He’s changed his life, and he’s not a serial killer anymore, but now he travels the galaxy hunting down other serial killers in different galaxies, different planets.”

    Jericho would also detail the chance of a love storyline in the mix, saying the following.

    “What if The Painmaker falls in love and can’t help himself, and he has to kill the one he loves?!” Jericho questioned. “Who knows? The possibilities are endless.”

    The Characters Origins Are From New Japan Pro Wrestling

    Jericho had debuted the Painmaker persona for his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling, using it when he went toe to toe with The Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada. Since then, he’s used it in All Elite Wrestling for violent matches against Darby Allin, Nick Gage and Eddie Kingston. It’s not hard to see this movie somehow working out, simply because it’s Chris Jericho.

    AEW have put some money behind projects like AEW Fight Forever, and with TBS looking for more non-wrestling content from them, a Painmaker series staring Chris Jericho might end up coming out of these movie plans. Do you intend to read the Painmaker graphic novel when it comes out? Let us know what you think in the comment section down below.

    A wrestling fan practically since birth, who has been hooked since he got his first toy wrestling ring for Christmas as a child. Since getting access to the internet, he's watched more wrestling than he could ever remember from all around the world. It's hard to keep track of what happens in the wild world of professional wrestling, but he always tries to stay up to date. Note: No relation to Tully Blanchard of Four Horsemen fame (probably).
