This professional wrestling article is a frequent target for editors to add a week-by-week synopsis of storyline events, unconfirmed information, rumors, and other content inappropriate to an encyclopedic article. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not, and consider whether your additions to this article will serve to make the article larger and harder to edit for style, clarity, and grammar.

Small Spelling Mistake

In the article, under section 1.5.3 (second last paragraph, second last line) it says "Jericho later stated in an interview that he loved the company and the fans, but had other things to do and accomplish in his carrer. He also stated that he would never sign with another wrestling company and that WWE is his home."

instead of "career", it says "carrer". i didn't find an edit button on the main article itself and i'm not sure how it goes, but i am sure this needs fixing. just thought i'd drop a line :)-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.173.192.118 (talk) 19:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting a MAJOR article clean up.

Seriously. There are spelling errors and un-linked articles absolutely everywhere, ESPECIALLY on the recent "Second return to WWE" section. Someone should get to work on it ASAP.-— Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.48.106.55 (talk) 17:18, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

I suggest the last sentence in the first paragraph regarding him being considered "The greatest wrestler of all time" needs to be changed. By obvious reasons Chris Jericho is not considered by majority the "Greatest wrestler of all time." 66.18.47.21 (talk) 21:53, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I will say that it reeks of POV as it is currently written, and is in need of a citation or two, however, the paragraph reads that he "has been named by journalists and industry colleagues as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.", there is a distinction between saying he is the greatest wrestler and saying he is one of the greatest wrestlers - it's a generalization, to be sure, and one that needs a good citation, but removing the statement outright would do a disservice to coverage of the subject. A S U K I T E 22:09, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Note: An addendum to my reply - further down in the article there seem to be plenty of citations for this claim, if you're looking for them. As it is, the statement appears to be okay. A S U K I T E 22:18, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jericho Apprecation Society

It's a section of the article yet there's nothing about it in this article, further more it started a month ago, nowhere near 2021. 2A00:23C8:2380:6B01:F513:B534:FAB1:D7AD (talk) 04:10, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 16 May 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Entire below section should be deleted immediately due to numerous violations such as: stating completely subjective opinions as fact; painfully obvious bias dislike towards the company in question; and utterly incoherent wording/sentence structure. I.E. multiple counts of trolling and vandalism.

In September 2019, during an interview for the Mature Audiences Mayhem Podcast, Jericho revealed the exact point when he decided he was going to leave the WWE. Even though Jericho was with the WWE for 15 years, the final insult came at WrestleMania 33 in 2017.[248] Despite the fact that Jericho and Kevin Owens had the best feud of the year, their match was demoted by placing it on the second place on the WrestleMania match card. The decision made by Vince McMahon was a big insult for Jericho and that prompted him to seek work elsewhere.[248] Jericho reflecting his WWE departure stated:

"Originally, that was going to be the main event for the world title. Kevin Owens was the champion and I was going to beat him in the main event of WrestleMania as a babyface."[248] Instead of having Jericho and Owens as the main event, Vince decided to put Bill Goldberg and Brock Lesnar on the main card. "Vince said that it’s going to be me versus Kevin Owens for the world title at WrestleMania and you are going to win the title, f*** yeah! Next week, he doesn’t tell me, but I hear that it’s changed to Brock Lesnar versus Bill Goldberg for the title. And not only did they take us out of the main event – and, once again, just because I was told I have no right to it and things change all the time, I’m a big boy, I can handle it. But to take us from the main event slot and then move us to the second match on the card on a card that has 12 matches on it? I was like, that’s a f***ing insult."[248]

Partly done: I've gone ahead and removed the quotes in whole as I don't necessarily believe they add anything to that section. Furthermore, basically everything mentioned by the IP above was directly ripped from the articles used to cite them. Like, word for word. So I've done some work to make the wording more original (and in extension neutral).

As an aside, IP, please be careful about casting aspersions. Editors are encouraged to practice the assumption of good faith. While I do agree with you that issues were present that needed some fixing, it was not vandalism or trolling. —Sirdog (talk) 02:42, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

World Championship Count

The article still lists Jericho as a six-time world champion. He is at least a seven-time world champion (the AEW World Championship definitely qualifies). It may be disputed whether the ROH championship should count as of 2022 when ROH is not currently an independent promotion, but I would argue that it does since it is a “World” championship recognized as such in AEW storylines. 64.186.57.201 (talk) 05:00, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point out where it says that? I see the line Within the WWF/WWE, Jericho is a six-time world champion, but no general statements about him being a six-time world champ. — Czello 19:40, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I must have misread that the first time and failed to notice the qualifier “Within WWF/WWE”. I may have also failed to notice how to respond to you in the previous thread, so I’m making a new post 2600:6C48:747F:B225:24FE:12F2:F8DD:5D02 (talk) 02:08, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. Just so you know you can always click "edit" either at the top or at a section heading to reply. I've removed this heading to merge it into the section above. — Czello 19:49, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Attitude Era

Request to include at least one mention and link to Attitude Era in article, as Jericho debuted in WWF during AE and was a major star/champion during AE. 130.45.24.168 (talk) 02:51, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple spelling errors

As others have mentioned, I don't know why this article is locked - a lot of spelling errors have went unedited. Kevin "Ownes" in the "List of Jericho" section is the first. Then "next feud were against", "againt Evil Power Struggle", "in ten-man tag team match" in the NJPW section. I'm sure I would find more if I kept canvassing 73.160.30.33 (talk) 23:06, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Page edit

{{edit semi-protected}} Labbie1996 (talk) 23:37, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph where it states "In 2023, Jericho was accused of handing out NDAs to select female talent he had allegedly sexually harassed." should be removed as it doesnt sound factual. Its an accusation which if is to stay, should at least contain more than 1 citation. Sounds like someone is trying to defame the subject. Labbie1996 (talk) 23:47, 1 January 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Labbie1996 (talk • contribs) 23:42, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a BLP violation as right now it's just an accusation. I've removed it. — Czello ^(music) 07:44, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling/Grammar Mistake

In the "Final matches and departure (2017–2018)" section, it is written that "This event marked Jericho's final appearance till date with WWE." The author almost certainly means "to date," not "till date," which is not a common English phrase. Ccondry28 (talk) 09:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed, thanks. I've also specified that it was his final in-ring appearance, as he's apepared on WWE programming in a non-wrestling capacity since. — Czello ^(music) 09:44, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Chris Jericho. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The Smoky Mountain Wrestling section within Chris Jericho's career could be expanded. For instance, he broke his arm practicing in the ring on the day of his last appearance in the promotion (1994, I'm fairly sure), and then wrestled a very bloody match (at least for him), along with Lance Storm as The Thrillseekers, against Jim Cornette's Heavenly Bodies. Sources should be easy to find to validate. I know the back story from various podcasts including Cornette's two podcasts and the Booking the Territory podcast.
