Guerrero informs that they’d shoot one episode every six days. He’d have five days to teach them how to execute their specific wrestling scenes all while they were in the middle of filming their other scenes. He informs that the women would have to do the same short in-ring sequence over and over again, for four or more hours. For that reason, he needed to keep the moves simple and safe. It’s possible to do a more difficult move once or twice, but not over and over again for hours.
He mentions that just weeks into the production of the series he knew it was going to be a massive hit. He sat all the women down during a training session and said that this series was going to be a hit based on them alone, because he knew the audiences were going to fall in love with them all.
Jericho informs that he auditioned for the role of Steel Horse, the role that was ultimately portrayed by Alex Riley. Guerrero informs that he was able to be involved in those casting meetings and he saw Jericho’s audition tape. He also mentions that The Miz auditioned for that role as well, but Riley was ultimately chosen for the role because he went all-in during his audition, wearing a robe and embracing the character.
That sums up today’s episode of Talk is Jericho. You can listen to the show yourself anytime here, and I’ll catch ya next week for another recap!
