Fans of Chris Jericho loved his WWE entrance music and no doubt miss it now that he isn’t in WWE anymore. However, it seems that the first line is inspired from a classic romantic comedy.
During a recent episode of Total Engagement, former WWE music composer Jim Johnston revealed how he came up with Chris Jericho’s entrance music.
“That was an easy one for me because I love movies, I love a lot of movies, I love classic movies and Clark Gable did a movie, ‘It Happened One Night.’ So he is a reporter and he stumbles while being on a bus from a spoiled rich girl who’s running away from her rich father and his controlling nature she’s gonna run away with this guy who turns out to be a cad and now she’s broke and trying to find her way back to New York and she runs into this reporter — Clark Gable who just thinks she’s a spoiled bitch and tolerates her, but you know they’re gonna fall in love. So he’s Honorable and they have to share crappy little hotel rooms and every time he puts a rope across the two single beds where they’re going to share a room and he tells her the Biblical story of the Walls Of Jericho and as soon as I heard Chris Jericho I said, ‘break down the walls of Jericho’ cause the last scene is they’re finally together and married and they show the blanket coming down off the rope.”
