In WWE history, several men have achieved greatness with the microphone. The same could be said for in-ring success. Only on a few precious and rare occasions, however, is there one man with the ability to be at the top in both respects…but without a doubt, Chris Jericho is one of them.
Jericho debuted on WWE television in August 1999 as "Y2J"—the "savior" of WWE—and his opening night spat with The Rock was one of the most famous verbal exchanges in RAW history. Jericho wasted no time picking a fight with The Rock and shortly thereafter, Jericho was a Championship contender.
In a short time competing for WWE, Jericho has earned a lifetime's worth of accolades, including becoming the first WWE Undisputed Champion after beating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night. More recently, Jericho became as well known for his actions outside the ring as within the squared circle, as his love triangle with Trish Stratus and Christian led to some very compelling television during the weeks and months leading up to WrestleMania XX. The once brash and disliked Jericho quickly became a fan favorite when Stratus turned on Jericho and sided with Christian ... and the resulting anger and resentment gave Jericho a charge he has not felt in some time.
Seemingly, Chris Jericho is one who finds success easily—in the ring and outside of it as well. Proof of this is Jericho's band, "Fozzy" that has quickly risen to prominence within alternative music circles.
