Sami Callihan and Marty Scurll Tease Match on the Chris Jericho Cruise

Chris Jericho’s upcoming Cruise will feature the Sea of Honor tournament. Yes, Ring of Honor is hosting a tournament at sea.

However, it seems that the action will not be restricted to just Ring of Honor, as Impact Wrestling are also sending some wrestlers. Marty Scurll commented on Twitter that he wanted to give the fans a dream match on the cruise. He wanted to give them Ring of Honor vs. Impact Wrestling, and he challenged Sami Callihan to a match.

In the promo above, Scurll spoke about wanting to make history. Sami called himself The Draw, and Marty wanted to give the fans something that they can only see on the Jericho Cruise. If Sami is looking for a fight, Marty is willing to provide it.

Sami’s reply was uncharacteristically short:

Callihan intends to bring his baseball bat to the fight. The same bat that saw Eddie Edwards get severely injured, as Callihan hit him in the eye with it in a now famous botched spot. The spot, while botched, has now turned into a money drawing angle as Callihan and Eddie Edwards have had an incredible feud since then. Marty clearly showed no fear confronting Callihan, and I would expect that the match will be very good.

Analysis: Scurll vs. Callihan – Wrestling in 2018 is Weird

Wrestling in 2018 is so weird. We are seeing increasing willingness for promotions to work together to provide fans with unique and interesting matches that they wouldn’t see otherwise. The Jericho Cruise, All In, and Impact working with ROH all show that we are living in a remarkable time to be a wrestling fan. Austin Aries is being featured prominently on ROH Television and Pay-Per-Views as the Impact Wrestling Champion, while Lucha Underground’s Pentagon Jr. is wrestling in the main events of Impact.

This kind of collaboration is something  I dreamed off as a child when I would discuss matches between Goldberg and Steve Austin, or Shawn Michaels and Sting. I hope, as a fan, we see more working agreements like this as promotions look to provide fans with matches they otherwise wouldn’t see. Wrestling is all sorts of fun, and 2018 is making it even more fun to be a fan.
