WWE wrestler Chris Jericho has built quite an eclectic acting resume.

But he's steered clear of doing wrestling-related movies because he wrestles.

“Dark Match” follows a low-tier wrestling company in the ’80s that jumps at a lucrative gig in a remote backwater town.

Jericho also served as executive producer of the Edmonton -shot film to ensure the wrestling aspects felt authentic.

Some have speculated his wrestling career may be nearing its end, but don't expect him to hang up the tights any time soon.

“I’m not going to wrestle forever. But right now, I still enjoy it. I feel great. I can still contribute and still perform at a high level. So there’s no reason to stop,” he said.
