Christopher  Keith  Irvine  :  (born  November  9,  1970),  better  known  by  the  ring  name  Chris  Jericho,  is  a  Canadian-American  professional  wrestler,  musician,  media  personality,  actor,  author,  and  businessman.  He  is  best  known  for  his  time  in  the  World  Wrestling  Federation/World  Wrestling  Entertainment  (WWF / WWE),  Extreme  Championship  Wrestling  (ECW)  and  World  Championship  Wrestling  (WCW),  and  internationally  in  Canadian,  German,  Japanese,  and  Mexican  promotions.  He  is  known  for  his  over-the-top,  rock  star  persona  –  dubbed  "The  Ayatollah  of  Rock  'n'  Rolla"  –  and  for  a  contrasting  run  as  an  aloof  villain  in  the  late  2000s  and  early  2010s.

Jericho  has  won  30  championships  between  WWE,  WCW,  and  ECW  –  the  three  most  prominent  American  promotions  in  the  1990s  and  early  2000s.  He  is  credited  as  being  the  first  Undisputed  WWF  Champion,  having  unified  the  World  Championship  (formerly  the  WCW  Championship)  and  the  WWF  Championship  by  defeating  The  Rock  and  Stone  Cold  Steve  Austin  on  the  same  night  in  2001.  He  is  also  the  fourth  WWE  Grand  Slam  Champion.[3]  In  addition,  he  was  the  2008  Superstar  of  the  Year  Slammy  Award  winner,  and  (along  with  Big  Show  as  Jeri-Show)  won  the  2009  Tag  Team  of  the  Year  Slammy  Award  -  making  him  the  only  winner  of  both  Superstar  and  Tag  Team  of  the  Year  in  WWE  history.

Jericho  has  been  a  challenger  to  major  world  championships  since  the  mid-1990s.  In  WWE,  he  is  a  six-time  world  champion,  having  won  the  WWF  Championship  once,  the  WCW World  Championship  twice,  and  the  World  Heavyweight  Championship  three  times.  He  is also a  record  nine-time  Intercontinental  Champion,  beating  out  four  other  contenders  in  a  2013 WWE  fan  poll  to  determine  the  greatest  champion  in  history  with  a  landslide  63%  of  the vote.  In  2014,  WWE  ranked  Jericho's  debut  with  the  organization  –  on  the  August  9,  1999 edition  of  Monday  Night  Raw  –  number  one  in  its  countdown  of  the  "Most  Memorable WWE  Debuts".  Jericho  has  headlined  many  major  pay-per-view  events  during  his  time  with the  company,  including  a performance as WWF Champion at WrestleMania X8 in 2002.

Outside  of  wrestling,  Jericho  became  the  lead  vocalist  of  the  band  Fozzy  in  1999.  Their  eponymous  debut  album  (2000)  and  Happenstance  (2002)  consist  of  cover  songs  and  original  music;  later  records  All  That  Remains  (2005),  Chasing  the  Grail  (2010),  Sin  and  Bones  (2012)  and  Do  You  Wanna  Start  a  War  (2014)  are  comprised  entirely  or  predominantly  of  original  compositions.  Jericho  also  competed  in  the  2011  series  of  Dancing  With  the  Stars,  lasting  until  the  sixth  week.  Prior  to  this,  he  hosted  the  ABC  game  show  Downfall  and  the  Revolver  Golden  Gods  Awards.
