Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens have been a focal point of RAW over the past several months. They constantly remind fans that they are indeed ‘best friends’. It has been a running joke for the past several weeks and has made for some entertaining television.
According to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required but recommended), Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens pitched a movie idea to Vince McMahon.
During WWE’s live event in London, they teamed together, referring to each other as the Goat (based on Jericho’s wrestling trunks that say GOAT on the back for Greatest of All Time) and the Donkey.
Vince McMahon reportedly heard about this and found it hysterical. Jericho and Owens reportedly tried their luck to pitch a ‘buddy cop’ type movie for WWE Studios, with the two ‘best friends’ pairing up on-screen, playing their characters. Vince turned them down but thought the idea was hilarious.

What a missed opportunity. I would certainly watch a Owens and Jericho buddy cop movie. If they don’t want to commit to a WWE studios film, they could do an hour special for the WWE Network.
I also think it would be funny to see a WWE Studios movie, using wrestlers that are in character. Would make for a good laugh or two.
