Career Summary

Chris Jericho is one of the most versatile and influential wrestlers of all time, known for constantly reinventing himself and staying relevant across multiple eras, promotions, and even industries. He began his career in the early ’90s, wrestling in promotions like Smoky Mountain Wrestling, ECW, and WCW, where his blend of athleticism, charisma, and humor helped him stand out in a crowded roster.

Jericho made a major impact when he debuted in WWE in 1999, famously interrupting The Rock in one of the most memorable debuts of all time. He quickly became known for his sharp mic skills, creative insults, and cocky attitude. In 2001, he made history by becoming the first-ever Undisputed WWE Champion, defeating both The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night.

Throughout his WWE run, Jericho constantly evolved, creating memorable gimmicks like the “List of Jericho,” the suit-wearing, smug “Best in the World,” and even his goofy, but beloved tag team with Kevin Owens. He’s held multiple championships, including the Intercontinental Title a record nine times, and became known for his ability to adapt and elevate any storyline or opponent.

When he left WWE, Jericho proved he wasn’t done yet. He helped launch AEW into the spotlight as its first World Champion, showing he could still deliver at the highest level. Outside the ring, he fronts the rock band Fozzy, writes books, and hosts a successful podcast.

No matter the decade or the company, Chris Jericho has always found a way to stay fresh, entertaining, and one step ahead of the game.
