You know Chris Jericho was ready to pour a little bit of the bubbly if Ryan Niemiller won “America’s Got Talent”.
Niemiller — a comedian also known as “The Cripple Threat” — is a big-time pro-wrestling fan. “The reason I got into comedy and improv is because it was going to help me be a pro-wrestler,” he said.

Cue Jericho, who appeared in a segment on the “AGT” finale. He put Niemiller through wrestling boot camp. The current AEW world champion taught Niemiller the art of trash talk by placing a cut-out of Simon Cowell’s face on a punching dummy.
Niemiller even got into the ring (sort of) and engaged in some good ol’ fashioned wrasslin’ with an opponent.

Jericho’s spot on “AGT” is timely. The reigning AEW champion is gearing up for the TNT premiere of All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite on Oct. 2. The TNT premiere marks the first time in nearly 20 years that a non-WWE show is airing on a major network.
