Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Chris Jericho (real name Christopher Keith Irvine, born November 9, 1970) is an American-born Canadian professional wrestler with a long, storied career spanning two decades and several promotions around the world, and frontman of the heavy metal band Fozzy.Jericho's rise to stardom in the industry began in WCW, where the "Lionheart" became a hit with the fans (particularly because of hilarious promo work), having several Cruiserweight title runs and feuding with the likes of Dean Malenko, Rey Mysterio Jr., and Juventud Guerrera. When Jericho tried to move into the main event, however, his attempts were blocked by the bookers; a planned feud with Goldberg was aborted, and Jericho realized he'd never make it to the main event in the company. In 1999, Jericho left WCW and jumped ship to the WWF; his debut at the end of the "Countdown to the Millennium" - interrupting a promo by The Rock, of all people! - is considered one of his Crowning Moments of Awesome for the Ayatollah of Rock-and-Rollah.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })In the decade since, Jericho has accomplished a lot - in addition to holding the Intercontinental Championship a record nine times, he's also a multiple-time world champion, a multiple-time tag team champion, and he was the first man to hold the WWE's Undisputed Championship (the unification of the WWE Championship and the WCW World Title Belt), which he accomplished by beating The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin in back-to-back matches. He hosted a short-lived game show on ABC and was multi-champ hottie Cheryl Burke's partner on Dancing with the Stars. (He did surprisingly well, lasting until week six.) He also competed in Genichiro Tenryu's WAR (Wrestle Association R) promotion, FMW, SMW, CMLL, the CWA (Catch Wrestling Association) in Austria/Germany, ECW, AAA, Stampede Wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling and other promotions in Mexico and Canada. He also stars in a web series called But I'm Chris Jericho!.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })Per usual, That Other Wiki has a great writeup of his extensive career, both in and out of the ring. | |

You Got Guts | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_169fa11f | comment |
You Got Guts: Villainous variant. Following Randy Orton's attack on Vince and Stephanie McMahon (which culminated in him punting Vince in the head and severely injuring him), Jericho interrupted an interview. A defensive Orton expected him to gloat his ass off or chew him out like every other superstar, however Jericho points out he was actually impressed that someone finally managed to put their disapproving boss and his spoiled daughter so bluntly in their place. He smugly adds, however, he feels the need to state this now since Orton probably won't be around for much longer. | |

Always Someone Better | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_19d1c1ae | comment |
Always Someone Better: How he felt about Lance Storm when they first met. Jericho also once compared himself to George Harrison of The Beatles, noting that while George was one of the best song writers of his era, he happened to be in a band with the best two song writers of his era, John Lennon and Paul McCartney; noting that while he (Jericho) may have been one of the best of the attitude era, he worked with the best, meaning The Rock and Stone Cold. More recently, in kayfabe, CM Punk. Prior to Punk's walk out and retirement from wrestling, Chris was never able to beat Punk one-on-one since after the end of his second WWE run and subsequent return. When he asked Paul Heyman for the match with Punk at Payback 2013, he outright admitted he needed to beat Punk, having tapped out to him at WrestleMania the year prior and pinned in a Chicago Street Fight the month afterwards. He got it — and then failed to beat Punk again. At which point Chris stopped trying completely, more-or-less conceding that Punk was simply better than him. | |

Also in kayfabe, during his 2008 feud with Shawn Michaels by punching out Shawn's wife, Rebecca. Granted, Chris was aiming for Shawn, whom dodged it — unfortunately for Rebecca, who was right behind him; however, Chris then proceeded to squander whatever high ground he had, by invoking Never My Fault and blaming the whole thing on Shawn's perceived arrogance. | |

Mr. Fanservice: A hilarious, athletic hunk provides much fanservice? No way! With forearms the size of hams and a face just this side of Bishōnen, how could he not? To Trish Stratus from "The Highlight Reel" on the March 29, 2004 Raw (see above under Catch-Phrase): However, Fan Disservice ensued the night after the 2008 Unforgiven, when he appeared in the Raw ring to strip off his shirt in order to show the crowd the huge red welts that that "horrible man," Shawn Michaels, had given to him in their Unsanctioned Match - and also to show off his World Heavyweight Championship belt, which he'd won in the course of the same evening (long story). | |

Villain Ball | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_1cc2ea8d | comment |
Villain Ball: In 2008, he — in Kayfabe — wanted to injure Shawn Michaels into retirement... and the latter was about to do just that. However, Chris then invoked Evil Gloating during the speech, and when Shawn tried to leave after telling him off seemingly one last time, Chris tried to attack him... but hit Shawn's wife, Rebecca, instead. That, combined with Chris's Never My Fault and further Evil Gloating about the whole thing, incensed Shawn enough to cancel his retirement just so that he could invoke Roaring Rampage of Revenge. | |

Aborted Arc: The week after the 2012 Over the Limit saw Randy Orton facing off against Alberto Del Rio (thanks to a Fatal Four Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship in which Orton and Del Rio weren't pinned). Jericho attacked Orton just before the match ended, hitting him with three Codebreakers and proclaiming that he was the best in the world. It looks like this was setting up for a major feud between the two. One week later... both get suspendednote Orton was flagged for a Wellness Policy violation and Jericho caused controversy over kicking the Brazilian flag at a house show in said country, promptly flushing the potential feud down the toilet. | |

Attention Whore: The nature of his "Y2J" persona. This was relevant when he turned heel in 2009, believing all his audience-pandering got him nowhere and that Humans Are Bastards, ready to turn on you the second you're out of their good graces. | |

Arch-Enemy | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_32da548d | comment |
Arch-Enemy: Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for much of WWE's Attitude Era. The Rock was also something of an arch-enemy, spoiling his big debut in the WWF and eventually boiling over during the InVasion. Chris Benoit was one of these to Jericho for a year or so in the WWF, though they had feuded in Japan as well. Shawn Michaels on-and-off during the Brand Extension, but especially during 2008. CM Punk for the first half of 2012. Dolph Ziggler for the second half of 2012 and into 2013. He's referred to Bob Barker as his "arch-nemesis" The Heavenly Bodies in SMW Alex Wright, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn in WCW. Kevin Owens, after Owens betrayed him at WWE Raw Festival of Friendship Kenny Omega definitely made the List on the way to Wrestle Kingdom 12. | |

| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: At first, Jericho seemed to have come back because he was hacked off at what he saw as other superstars ripping off his style - CM Punk in particular. Usually in WWE, that's reason enough to start a fight. Then it got personal, with Jericho essentially airing Punk's family's dirty laundry to the public. CM Punk was not impressed, indeed. It gets worse. After Punk takes a beating from Mark Henry the Raw after WrestleMania, Jericho comes in from the crowd, mocking Punk's victory and wanting to make "a toast." He takes a bottle of Jack Daniel's and pours it all over Punk's near-unconscious body, then takes another one and breaks it over the back of the man's head. Seems like denigrating Punk's family was just the tip of the iceberg for Jericho. | |

Ascended Meme: During his famous "Man of 1004 Holds" promo, Jericho listed the "Moss-Covered, Three-Handled Family Gradenza," a phrase he saw in the 1971 TV adaption of The Cat in the Hat. Paul Heyman liked the name so much that when Perry Saturn began using a swinging fisherman's suplex as a finisher, Heyman gave it that name. In addition, he was fired by AJ Lee as GM on the 1004th episode of RAW. In 2009, during a match at the Survivor Series pay-per-view event, a fan near the front row yelled at Jericho to "Go back to Toronto!" Without missing a beat, Jericho quickly retorted "I'm from Winnipeg, you idiot!" and continued on with the match. The moment went viral, and in 2016, Jericho and Cesaro had this exchange on an episode of Raw: | |

Real life injuries sustained by Shamrock during this feud was what caused him to leave WWE for good and retiring from wrestling all together for several years. | |

Lensman Arms Race | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_53ecf83f | comment |
Lensman Arms Race: One of the reasons Chris Jericho has changed his style so much from the beginning of his career. When he started, his moonsaults and hurricanranas were hot shit; as time wore on, the high fliers moves got increasingly complex and he got older, so he had to change his lucha style to a more American one. Some people even prefer the new Jericho. Although, perhaps as a result of changing his style, he's still able to perform moves like the Lionsault at will, despite being well into his forties. | |

Another following his return, when he was forced to beg for Stephanie McMahon's forgiveness to maintain his job; despite how hilariously forced and insincere the whole thing was, it actually worked. | |

Long List | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_5ff56a1f | comment |
Long List: During a feud with Dean Malenko, "The Man of a Thousand Holds," Jericho came out and read his list of a Thousand and Four Holds, which lasted through a commercial break and went clear into another segment. Every third or so item on the list was "ARMBAR!," which you can name in this Sporcle quiz. Among his many feuds with Stephanie McMahon, he gets a good-sized one in. In a call back to the above, Jericho makes another Long List on the September 27, 2010 episode of Raw, this time made up of all the opponents he's beaten, including people he's only beaten backstage and counting wrestlers with different aliases multiple times, which you can name in THIS Sporcle quiz. Started a new list on the September 19, 2016 episode of Raw, where the List of Jericho started as a list of grievances against current General Manager Mick Foley for perceived slights against both him and the Universal Champion, his best buddy Kevin Owens. By the end of the segment, the list had grown to include Gallows and Anderson, Enzo and Cass, and The New Day. | |

Game-Breaking Injury: Used in the last week of September 2010 as an in-story explanation for Jericho's absence in WWE while he did his Fozzy tour. Notably averted in Real Life. Aside from a broken arm in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, Jericho has never suffered a major injury in his entire wrestling career. Though, for the latter part of said career (specifically, after 2010, as mentioned above), it's mainly because he took frequent, long-term breaks, allowing his body to rest and heal properly. | |

Bullying a Dragon | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_7eb73553 | comment |
Bullying a Dragon: In only his second appearance on WWE TV, the August 16 (taped August 10), 1999 Raw, he actually interrupted The Undertaker's promo, calling Taker and The Big Show "two morons" who "couldn't string together two intelligent words," and that instead of being the "personification of evil," they were the "personification of BOREDOM." Taker put him in his place. Jericho apologized for this on the 2001 Undertaker: This Is My Yard DVD. | |

Establishing Character Moment | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_7febc23b | comment |
Establishing Character Moment: His debut on RAW? Interrupting The Rock to save the WWE from boredom. His next interruption was of The Undertaker, just to drive the point home. He even had one in New Japan Pro-Wrestling by spending his first physical appearance there in decades being attacking Kenny Omega from behind and brutalizing him, spilling his blood and even attacking Don Callis after he checked on Kenny. He would proceed to do that pretty much every physical appearance afterwards. | |

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Heel–Face Return: Notoriously, Chris managed to do both this and a Face–Heel Turn within the span of ten minutes. How? He simply said nothing instead of a return promo and trolled the crowd by acting all pumped up while shouting out things like "Yeah, baby!" all for the sole purpose of pissing off the audience. When he finally spoke about a month or so later, he fully admitted to trolling them and called both the audience and the wrestlers in the back a bunch of Jericho wannabes. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catch-Phrase: Several. "C'MON BABY!" is perhaps his first catchphrase, dating back to his pure face fun in WCW. In fact, it's all he said during the first three weeks of his 2012 return, along with "YEAH" "Welcome to Raw Is Jericho!" which is a descendant of "Monday Night Jericho!" from his WCW Nitro days. "...would you please, SHUT! THE HELL! UP! "Nevah! EEEEEEVVER! [...] AGAIN!" (with again pronounced uh-gain) Though he only used it in one promo, he repeated it enough to make it count: "ARMBAR!" "You idiot!" "You stupid idiot!" "Junior!" Currently he has "I'm the best in the world at what I do!" which sounds suspiciously like the catchphrase of a certain fellow Canadian and mutant badass. "Gelatinous sycophantic tapeworms" and the like to describe the audience. "Filthy, dirty, disgusting, nasty, skanky, brutal, bottom-feeding, trashbag HO!" in reference to Stephanie McMahon. Recycled on Trish Stratus on the March 29, 2004 Raw during "The Highlight Reel," in re her heel turn on Jericho in his match with Christian two weeks earlier at WrestleMania XX, though he left out "nasty, skanky" that time. Almost made a comeback on the July 28, 2014 Raw but Triple H cut him off at "Ho". Known for coining the insult "assclown," which was taken from Office Space, but popularized by Jericho. You know you've made it when Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself uses the term. "Get your head out of your ass!" Chris Jericho does not have any catchphrases, as that would be pandering to the mindless drones and hypocrites that comprise the WWE Universe. Do you understand what I am saying to you right now? HEY PUNK As undisputed champion, he would constantly remind people of this while also referring to himself as a Living Legend. Look at me when I'm talking to you, boy! "C'mon/Come on, you son of a bitch!" Frequently says this when wrestling. "ASK HIM!!!!" "I give you the gift of Jericho. Drink it in, ''maaaaaaaaaaaan''...!" This has now evolved to include various other Things of Jericho, complete with their own three-word addition. "You're/He's/They're gonna get it!" usually followed by repeating and emphasizing the word "IT!" in response to someone's question about what it is. "You just made The List!" | |

Talk to the Fist: Pulled this once on Dolph Ziggler, who was rambling on about how Jericho was "losing his touch". As soon as Dolph starts repeating the line to Vickie Guerrero in an aside - cue Codebreaker to the face mid-sentence. It's worth noting, though, that the way the scene played out made it appear that Jericho flattened Ziggler because he couldn't come up with a decent verbal rebuttal at the time. | |

When Elders Attack | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_b9fb7790 | comment |
When Elders Attack: At WrestleMania 25, Jericho would face Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, and Ricky Steamboat in a three-on-one handicap match. While Jericho would quickly dispose of Snuka and Piper, it was Steamboat who surprised everyone, both in Kayfabe and in Real Life, in keeping up with the much younger Jericho in that match. The match developed out of a feud Jericho had been having with actor Mickey Rourke in re Rourke's role in the movie The Wrestler, and how Jericho had disapproved of the film's theme of respecting wrestlers after their careers start to decline. Rourke, who had a legitimate 6-0-2 record in boxing, knocked out Jericho with one punch after the match. | |

Insane Troll Logic | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_c5f0119c | comment |
Insane Troll Logic: So, if you attack and take out Team WWE, The Nexus won't have anybody to fight against, so the match can't take place, and Nexus can't take over Raw......BRILLIANT! On his role as WCW Television Champion: "I am the WCW Television Champion! That means that if you watch television, I am your champion!" | |

Fan Disservice | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_c660bc15 | comment |
However, Fan Disservice ensued the night after the 2008 Unforgiven, when he appeared in the Raw ring to strip off his shirt in order to show the crowd the huge red welts that that "horrible man," Shawn Michaels, had given to him in their Unsanctioned Match - and also to show off his World Heavyweight Championship belt, which he'd won in the course of the same evening (long story). | |

Shout-Out | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A few of his skits back in WCW run were basically scenes from This Is Spın̈al Tap transitioned into wrestling promos. At the terrible WCW Fall Brawl 98 PPV, Jericho parodied Goldberg's dramatic guided entrance by walking to the ring with his bodyguard "Ralphus" and got "lost" on the way there. His name is inspired by the Helloween album Walls of Jericho. His theme song, "Break the Walls Down", references not just the above album (which is itself inspired by a story in the Biblical Book of Joshua), but the rock bands AC/DC and Judas Priest and the William Butler Yeats poem "The Second Coming." His 2009 heel persona was inspired by No Country for Old Men (specifically Anton Chigurh). | |

Loser Leaves Town: Been involved in two of these. Once in 2005, when he was in a match against John Cena where the loser would be fired, and second, most recent in 2012, where he was in a match against Dolph Ziggler, where Jericho's WWE contract vs. Dolph's Money in the Bank contract were on the line, with him losing both of them. Both times were so he could go tour with his band. | |

Incoming Ham | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_ceabe589 | comment |
His theme starts with a countdown, then several seconds of silence, then a pyrotechnics explosion, followed by several seconds of a close-up of him on the TitanTron, followed by him standing with his back to the crowd, then finally turning around and heading to the ring as his song yells "BREAK THE WALLS DOOOOOWN!!!". It's as much Incoming Ham as a Professional Wrestler can get. | |

Popularity Power: During his 2012 return tour. Jericho's really had to go out of his way to Heel it up because so many of the fans still want to cheer him for coming back. This may be partly a Draco in Leather Pants (and an awesome light-up jacket) situation, too, as Jericho's one of the most entertaining heels to watch. Up to Eleven in his 2016-2017 run. Inanimate objects like scarves, potted plants, and legal pads have gotten more over than some wrestlers just by association with Chris Jericho. | |

AntiClimax | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: Has said that he doesn't want to go out with a huge Ric Flair-esque sendoff, but rather be dragged kicking and screaming from wrestling while the audience thinks "Wow that guy was a jerk".note A reaction that's quite hard for him to get, because even when he's playing the most obnoxious, egotistical heel you've ever seen (and he does exactly that), he does it in such a charismatic, entertaining way that fans can't help but want to see him do it again next week. Which is exactly what happened when he took a break from wrestling in 2005. He lost a match with John Cena and Eric Bischoff fired him, having security drag him up the ramp kicking and screaming. As revealed in his second book, he was originally supposed to just be walked out by security. But when they walked out, he told them under his breath to carry him out. During his last month with WWE, Jericho vowed he'd retire if he couldn't win the WWE Championship at Night of Champions. Come the match and Jericho is the first of the six eliminated within minutes. This is where the crowd should have been chanting "Na-na-na-na! Na-na-na-na! Hey he-ey! Goodbye!" but instead chanted "Y2J! Y2J!" in respect for the performer. Clearly, that wasn't enough of a downer ending because he stayed around for two weeks so he could get a more dubious send-off: a punt by Randy Orton. On the Raw following SummerSlam, AJ Lee books a rematch between Ziggler and Y2J with some higher stakes this time around: Dolph's MITB briefcase vs. Jericho's WWE Contract. Jericho wins, he gets Dolph's title shot. If Ziggler wins, Jericho's gone from the company. It's a back-and-forth match, with both men hitting their signature moves, up until Dolph counters the Lionsault into the Zig Zag for the 1-2-3. Played straight when a frustrated Jericho hits Ziggler with his MITB briefcase post-match, followed by a Codebreaker. However, it turns into a more Bittersweet Ending with the crowd cheering and chanting for Jericho all the way as he walks up to the stage and looks out to the crowd for (seemingly) the last time. | |

Undying Loyalty | |
| Chris Jericho (Wrestling) / int_f16da697 | comment |
Undying Loyalty: Since leaving WCW during the Monday Night Wars, he's worked solely for the WWE in a wrestling capacity, and has said that he will never work for TNA or an independent promotion in his entire career, despite getting invitations from both, because of his loyalty to the WWE. Then again, given how he was treated in WCW compared to how he's treated in the WWE, his loyalty is understandable. That said, while he did accept an offer to rejoin New Japan Pro-Wrestling for his Wrestle Kingdom 12 dream match with Kenny Omega, he went on record to say that he had called Vince himself as a formality and show of respect. | |

Would Hit a Girl: In Real Life, if you jump Chris, he will punch you. Also in kayfabe, during his 2008 feud with Shawn Michaels by punching out Shawn's wife, Rebecca. Granted, Chris was aiming for Shawn, whom dodged it — unfortunately for Rebecca, who was right behind him; however, Chris then proceeded to squander whatever high ground he had, by invoking Never My Fault and blaming the whole thing on Shawn's perceived arrogance. Earlier than that, his first run as Intercontinental champion came about by feuding with Chyna. He also tried to go after CM Punk's sister after the latter slapped him during their match at Extreme Rules 2012. Naturally, this mashed one of Punk's Berserk Buttons hard, and Jericho got his ass kicked for his trouble. | |

Heel–Face Return: Notoriously, Chris managed to do both this and a Face–Heel Turn within the span of ten minutes. How? He simply said nothing instead of a return promo and trolled the crowd by acting all pumped up while shouting out things like "Yeah, baby!" all for the sole purpose of pissing off the audience. When he finally spoke about a month or so later, he fully admitted to trolling them and called both the audience and the wrestlers in the back a bunch of Jericho wannabes. | |

Running Gag: Mick Foley has never beat Jericho in a match. This is stated every time Foley is mentioned in Jericho's books. Jericho actually let Foley pin him at his Hall Of Fame Induction. CM Punk counted the pin. After getting slammed into a bed of thumb tacks by Dean Ambrose in the Ambrose Asylum match, Chris is very quick to remind people of the "SIXTY-NINE TACKS! SIXTY-NINE TACKS, DEAN!", alluding to the number of tacks that got stuck in his flesh and had to be forcibly extracted. | |

Foe Romance Subtext: With Stephanie McMahon, unknown if it's intentional, but it's definitely there. Jericho would often mock her by stating how promiscuous she was, often sounding like he was secretly pissed he wasn't getting any. Though a truly epic "Take That!" Kiss delivered to her at the 2001 Summer Slam points towards it being intentional. | |
