IMPACT News: Sami Callihan Match For Jericho Cruise Official
This week, Sami Callhian has been very vocal on Twitter, sending out videos about how wasn’t being booked on the Jericho Cruise after getting IMPACT Wrestling on it.
In his videos, he would call out the entire Ring Of Honor roster, challenging any one of them to a match with ‘The DRAW’. Callihan went as far as to say that if he isn’t booked for the cruise, that he would build a pirate ship and crash it instead.
You can check out his video, IMPACT and Chris Jericho’s responses below:

The @jericho_cruise is gonna need a bigger boat.
Because @TheSamiCallihan is coming and he wants @ringofhonor to step up to the plate and accept his challenge. https://t.co/8M1DxX6a09

Wow! @TheSamiCallihan just called out THE ENTIRE @ringofhonor locker room for the @jericho_cruise! https://t.co/0sf4gGi6qA

This is just another reason to love Sami Callhian. He is everywhere and doing everything. From the blood feud with Eddie Edwards, to calling out IMPACT Management and Chris Jericho, he has become one of the top heels in the industry today. After his social media tirade yesterday, someone has finally stood up to the plate. This person is none other than Bullet Club member “The Villian” Marty Scurll.

Sami Callihan and IMPACT Wrestling have also responded to the announcement:.
You’ll never be a Villain to me… I know the real you. You’ll always be “Party Marty” aka the wrestler dude that was on that one British game show. See ya in October. #TheDRAW https://t.co/h9kCDlw35x

Now THAT sounds like one hell of a cruise! @jericho_cruise @IAmJericho https://t.co/d7jflaGtaP

Ja’ Von’s Take: This is great for IMPACT Wrestling and Sami Callihan. Callihan is the single reason why IMPACT is even a part of the cruise and the fact that he wasn’t booked until now is a travesty. Since the infamous baseball bat incident, Callihan has brought more eyeballs to IMPACT, as fans want to see what Sami Callhian and oVe will be doing next. They haven’t seemed to disappoint or have any signs of slowing down anytime soon.

- Andrade El Idolo: Yet to Compete
My Thoughts:
Nothing too crazy, nothing too wild, this tournament only just got started. The only disappointing point is that they could not get Bryan “cleared to compete” Saturday night. Not sure how much of that is shoot given the bad eye, but this was kinda the problem of wanting him in the tournament over tons of other choices. Bryan wants to face Okada for WrestleKingdom 18, how is Bryan supposed to do that at his best if he’s also gonna be in a round robin, doing five top level matches in about as many weeks? And it takes away from Andrade being able to do something. Also a little surprised we didn’t even hear from Andrade on Saturday.
Now as we heard on Saturday, round two’s matches are set. Gold League will see Mark Briscoe VS Rush, White VS Swerve, and of course, Moxley VS Lethal. Nice variety there, a couple 0-1 guys facing off, as well as two 1-0 guys, and then 1-0 VS 0-1. No offense to Lethal, but he feels like an 0-2 going up against Moxley. Hard to call the other ones but that’s the fun of it. Meanwhile, Blue League sees Brody VS Claudio in a showdown to be 2-0, then Bryan and Andrade finally jump in, Bryan against Eddie and Andrade against Garcia. Sadly, feels like Eddie and Garcia are going 0-2, no way Tony Khan is booking Bryan and Andrade to lose their first shots.
In fact, that could be half the reason they did wait on those two, that’s almost too good for just a first round opener. But I still would’ve done it, same as NJPW does stuff like that for round robins, which this is all modeled after anyway.
