WWE Bio

“Jerichoholics” will never forget the night when Chris Jericho debuted on Monday Night Raw, having the gumption to interrupt The Rock in mid-sentence. When The Rock responded that he wasn’t impressed that Jericho had beaten “a jabroni named Juventud” in his WCW days, Jericho was undaunted. He was confident in what he could do, and wasn’t about to let the “People’s Champ” denigrate it. As WWE fans would soon realize, Chris Jericho does not lack for the courage of his convictions. “Y2J” has always had a high opinion of himself, and more often than not, he has backed up his lofty boasts. Jericho was never more impressive than the night that he unified the WWE Championship and the WCW Championship, a feat most thought to be impossible. First, he defeated The Rock in a grueling 20-minute match to win the WCW Championship. Immediately following that, Jericho downed WWE champ Stone Cold Steve Austin to unify the championships. To beat one of those stars is a great night, but to defeat them both, arguably two of the greatest competitors to ever step foot in a ring, is a staggering accomplishment. Jericho returns to the sites of some of his greatest triumphs in WWE ’13, and no doubt he vows that things will never, everrrrrr be the same again.

Breakdown

Playing as Chris Jericho in the “Attitude Era” is very similar to how he works the ring today, he still has the great submission-style move-set. But again, both his Signature Move Multiple Powerbombs and his Finishers Walls of Jericho 1 and Liontamer attack the torso. Work over your opponent with body strikes, big grapples and Moonsaults to hammer the body before attempting a Breaking Point Submission Finisher. If you want to step into the future a little while, team him up with Christian for a few tag team matches.
