5 Best Moments of Chris Jericho’s Current WWE Run
By Bryan Heaton
2. The List of Jericho
As mentioned on the previous slide, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens had their fair share of disagreements with Mick Foley. Following the WWE Draft, Jericho and Owens ended up on Raw, with Foley as GM. As the Hardcore Legend tried to maintain law and order, JeriKO made it difficult.
Multiple instances of Foley’s “unfair treatment” would be claimed by Jericho. Chief among them – the shark cage at the Royal Rumble, constant banning from ringside, forcing the two to wrestle Seth Rollins, and so on and so forth.
After many instances of being mistreated, Jericho decided to keep a running tally of people who deserved to get some kind of payback. With so many injustices hurled his way, it was necessary to write these things down so as not to forget any.
Thus, The List of Jericho was born.
On September 16, the first several names were added to Jericho’s list. Initially, Jericho was just airing his grievances against Mick Foley. But when he was “interrupted” by a fan, “braceface in row 12” made the list.
For the next five months, Jericho would come to the ring, clipboard and pen in hand, and add names to The List of Jericho. Thanks to some great selling by other WWE Superstars, The List became one of the hottest things in wrestling. Xavier Woods, in particular, made being added to the list seem like a fate worse than death.
Even Tom Brady made the list following the Super Bowl! No one was safe from Jericho’s clicky pen.
