WWE News: Chris Jericho reveals his insane WWE travel schedule
It’s no mystery that WWE Superstars have very packed schedules as they tour with the promotion every week and barely get time off to visit their families. The Superstars not only perform for the live crowd and broadcast of RAW and SmackDown Live but also take part in a couple of house shows every week that aren’t televised as well as an odd international tour every few months. WWE veteran Chris Jericho shared his hectic schedule with his fans on Instagram and it looks like he’s in for a tough ride at least for the next week or so with an Asia trip in the nearest future.
Alright here's this weeks journey: #Tampa to #Detroit to #KansasCity to #London to #HongKong to #Manila to #ShangHai to #Baltimore to #Tampa. 4 countries and 3 continents in 9 days, plus I've got a fourth book to finish, song lyrics to write, and at least 4 podcasts to record. I'll probably get some sleep next wed or maybe thur? #norestforthewicked #lovethisshit #gotplentyofscarvesforthetrip
According to his post on Instagram, Jericho left his Tampa residence for Detroit and then flew to Kansas City to participate in Monday’s episode of RAW. On Wednesday, i.e. tomorrow, Jericho leaves for WWE’s one-night-only show at the O2 Arena in London. Two days later, Jericho is scheduled for a trip to the Philippines with the rest of the RAW roster for a show in Manila. The following Saturday, he will be heading to China for Bin Wang’s WWE debut at a live show in Shanghai before going back to the United States for next week’s episode of RAW in Baltimore.
To break it down, Chris Jericho will be travelling about 31501kms in the course of about nine days and just the last leg of this tour, from Shanghai to Baltimore is a whopping 11944km by itself. The entire itinerary covers, as Jericho noted in his post, 4 countries and 3 continents in just 9 days; the total distance to be travelled being about four-fifths of the circumference of the Earth!
Although all this might surprise us, a schedule like this is quite normal for WWE Superstars like Jericho who has been with the company since 1999. As we all know, Jericho even fronts the heavy metal band Fozzy in his downtime from WWE for which he has to write lyrics during this week which he also mentioned in the Instagram post. Apart from all this, Chris Jericho has to finish his fourth book as well as record 4 podcasts and it’s amazing that the Superstar finds time to do so much outside the ring after spending most of his energy wrestling and travelling.
