"Everyone thought that Chris Jericho was going to accept the open challenge," revealed Ellsworth. "I am telling everyone that people are all going to assume that Chris Jericho is going to accept the open challenge because this is how pro wrestling fans think. It's like, 'oh, he is rumored to be there and Eli Drake is setting up an open challenge, and two plus two equals four.' "So, when they showed the Eli Drake promo on the screen people were chanting, Y2J! Y2J! I was telling everybody that they are going to think it is Chris Jericho and it's just going to be me, which I am cool and all, but I am nowhere near Chris Jericho, so I know that they are going to hate me. They are going to hate me, but in a fun way. My character, especially in front of a 'smart mark' crowd, they love to get on me and hate me. That is what they like to do. They have fun with the character. I knew the type of reaction I was going to get before I even went out there, and trust me from the bottom of my heart I loved each and every minute of it. "I am very blessed that my character gets that type of emotion from people; whether they are chearing for the underdog or just cussing out the little arrogant egomaniac, which is what the James Ellsworth character has become. I get that. I have a character that gets an emotion out of the audience everywhere he goes and I am very blessed to have that. I hope and pray that I am going to continue to work hard and continue to get that emotion out of people." www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2018/10/james-ellsworth-talks-people-expecting-chris-jericho-at-bfg-647124/

I’m pretty sure anyone that sucks would have gotten pretty much the same reaction there, buddy.

He’s just happy he’s getting booked.

At least he's being a good sport about it and enjoying his new found fame wherever he goes.

Making the most and a bit more out of the little he got as a performer. Can't blame the man for that.

Ellsworth as a TNA regular would get me to actually watch TNA again and I'm not even kidding.

I love that Ellsworth has gotten so much mileage out of being a funny looking TV jobber. He's making the most out of what he's gotten and more power to him!

I'm loving impact right now, but if Elsworth was on every week I would have to stop watching.

Who would have guessed getting annihilated by Braun Strowman would have been the best thing that could have ever happened to his career. It's almost certainly the best thing that happened to almost all of those jobbers. Ellsworth just got even more lucky.
