Personal history
Chris is the son of NHL great Ted Irinve. Jericho was born in Long island, New York, but his family moved to Canada, in his youth
As a child Chris wanted to be either a Hockey player, a wrestler or in his own Rock band. . As a devout Christian, Jericho played in a Christian heavy metal band, mainly due to his faith.

By 1984 Jericho bought a Ozzy Osbourne album, and became a metal head. As his enthusiasm grew he formed his own heavy metal band, in which he played both bass and lead guitars, played the drums and sang.

How his career began.
Like most Canadian wrestlers, Chris's carrer began at Stu Hart's dungeon, in Calgary. During his course at the dungeon, Chris class soon became smaller each week, as pupils dropped out. By the end of his tenure at the dungeon, only 2 pupils remained Chris and his future tag team partner and WWE superstar, Lance Storm.

After his training ended, Jericho made his pro debut on October the 2nd 1990. Over the course of the next few years, Chris worked Indies all over Canada, North America, Mexico, Europe and Japan.

Come 1994, Chris debuted in Smokey Mountain wrestling as a part of the tag team, The Thrillseekers, along side Lance Storm. But the duo only competed at SMW for a short time, due to the fact of the low pay. Soon after Jericho head of the Indies all over the world.

The Big break.
After 6 years of working globally, Chris got his big break in ECW. But after only a few months left for WCW. After a few years of working in WCW, Chris's contract expired in 1999, instead of signing a new one, Chris signed with the giant of the sports entertainment world the WWE, (the know as the WWF).

Jericho debuted on August the 9th, 99 on a live Raw is war broadcast, in one of the best introductory promos ever on raw. Since that time Chris has won numerous titles and honors in the process becoming one of the most loved and hated WWE superstars of all time.

The official WWE Chris Jericho bio

They said he was too small to ever be a "main-event superstar." They said he couldn't "win the big one." Chris Jericho proved them all wrong.
Jericho first appeared on WWE television on the August 9, 1999, episode of RAW -- live from Chicago. Windy City fans have a reputation for being rabid -- and on that day, they more than lived up to it. When "Jericho" appeared on the Titan Tron, the fans went crazy. A star was born. Jericho immediately gave himself a nickname -- Y2J -- to emphasize that he was the superstar for the new millennium.

During the ensuing two years, Jericho won the Intercontinental Championship on four occasions, the Tag Team Championship twice, and the European and Hardcore titles as well. An impressive resume to be sure, but after coming in with such a bang, some critics suggested that his first two years with the company had been a disappointment because he didnââ‚â„¢t win the WWE Championship. Before coming to WWE, Jericho had four unquestionably disappointing years in WCW, so some doubters suggested that Jericho lacked the size necessary to ever make it to the top. It certainly couldn't have been a lack of charisma or athletic ability - Jericho has those to spare.

Finally, in late 2001, Jericho forced all his doubters to, as he would say, "shut the hell up." He "won the big one," defeating The Rock at October's No Mercy Pay-Per-View to capture the WCW Championship. Then, in December at Vengeance, he became the only man to defeat The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night, and thus became the Undisputed Champion.

That night, Dec. 9 in San Diego, Calif., he also became the only superstar to have held five different WWE titles.

With all those accolades, it is perhaps no surprise that Y2J took on a significantly more conceited attitude in subsequent weeks. He'll step in the ring and get face to face with a man like Ric Flair -- arguably sports entertainment's greatest of all time -- and call himself a "larger-than-life superstar" and a "living legend." He'll insist that fans "clap their filthy little hands" in his honor.

It may seem unbelievable to many fans. After all, Y2J was one of the World Wrestling's most popular superstars. But even if they want to boo, his detractors can never again say that Y2J won't make it to the top. In 2001, Chris Jericho proved them all wrong when he became the first-ever Undisputed World Wrestling Champion.
