Mini-Jericho Bio & Tidbits Real Name: Chris Irvine Former identities, names, nicknames: Lionheart, Y2J Other major organizations wrestled in: ECW(1995-1996), WCW(1996- 1999), WWF(1999-Current) Former Managers/Bodyguards: Ralphus(WCW, August 1998-March 1999), Howard Finkel(WWF, August 1999-September 1999), Curtis Hughs(WWF, September 1999-October 1999) Major Titles Held: ECW TV Title, WCW Cruiserweight Title(4), WCW TV Title Was trained in at Stu Hart's dungeon and started at Stampede wrestling. Brought into ECW in 1995. Had a TV title reign in ECW in 1996 before leaving for WCW later that year. In summer '97 won first WCW gold by winning Cruiserweight title from Syxx, but lost it to Alex Wright a month later. Won it back from Wright a month later, but lost it a month later to Eddy Gurrerro. In January '98 Jericho started to show his heel role by proclaiming all his fans, "jerichoholics!" and always trashing the arena whenever he lost a match. Later that month he started his 3rd Cruiserweight Title reign by defeating Rey Mysterio Jr., he also gave Rey a knee injury during that match, which put him out for several months. He lost the title to Dean Malenko that May at Slamboree, but after many loopholes, Jericho finally got the title handend back to him in mid-June after he stated that the NWA rulebook said he didn't have to face an opponent without his approval. Jericho lost the title to Rey Mysterio Jr. at the July PPV, Bash at the Beach, but got the belt back the next night after he pointed out that in the NWA rulebook, if a suspended wrestler effects the outcome of a title match(which Malenko did), the belt must be handed back to the original champ. Eventually Jericho lost the title to Juventud Gurrerra at the August PPV Road Wild, with Dean Malenko as ref. The next day on Nitro, Jericho won the TV title from Stevie Ray, subbing for an injured Booker T. Jericho held on to the title for 3 months and 20 days before losing it to Konnan on the November 30 Nitro. Jericho lost a rematch against Konnan at Starrcade and entered into a feud with Perry Saturn. They faced each other at the January PPV, Souled Out where the loser had to wear a dress for 90 days. Jericho won after he had some help from ref, Charles Dickonson. They fought a return match at the February PPV, Superbrawl 9, where Jericho won by DQ after Saturn decked out the ref(who happened to be Dickinson again). Saturn then had an extended 30 days to wear his dress. They fought one last time at Uncensored in a chain match, at first Jericho ordered his bodyguard, Ralphus, to go into the chain match, but he refused and left Jericho after 6 months of loyalty. Jericho ended up losing the match, in April he competed in the US title tournament, but lost and got an injury later that month, then disappeared off WCW television. Talks were broiling upon this point weather or not Jericho would sign with the WWF. Jericho was going no where in his WCW career and it seemed like he was going to be stuck as mid-carder for life. Jericho ended up signing with the WWF. The last time we saw Jericho on WCW TV was at the June PPV, The Great American Bash, where during a falls anywhere match between Sting and Rick Steiner, they battled back to the WCW Internet Broadcasting booth where you saw Jericho commentating. Jericho finished up his WCW contract doing house show and debuted in the WWF in August interrupting an interview with the Rock. He ended up getting Howard Finkel to be his lackey, but dumped after a month of using him. He then got Curtis Hughs, but got read of his services after having him for a month as well. Jericho got his first major WWF Title shot at the Survivor Series where he faced Chyna for the IC belt. He ended up losing, and got Revenge the next day by battering her hand with a hammer. The future seems to hold many possibillities for Jericho in the WWF and it looks that he can be one of there most promising talents. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ III.
