2. The Jericho Brand

In addition to being the lead singer for a popular rock band, Chris Jericho has created a brand for himself, of himself.

If you are a wrestling fan, you would have to live under a rock to not be privy to his uber-successful podcast, ‘Talk is Jericho.’ If you haven’t checked it out, go listen to his recent interview with Jon Moxley after you finish this list.

He has a wide array of guests that make it a must-listen to anyone who puts in the earbuds on the commute home or while exercising.

Perhaps you don’t want to sit and listen to a podcast, you are a traveler. Jericho has something for you, too.

The Chris Jericho Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea: Part Deux is a Caribbean cruise full of rock music, wrestling matches, and comedy shows. The second edition of this party on the water sets sail in January 2020.

Seriously, how many professional wrestlers have their own cruise?

Back in the ring, Jericho has set himself apart from his peers by his ability to create a catchphrase out of seemingly nothing. Who can forget his promo with Daniel Bryan where he used all of his old catchphrases?

“Stupid Idiot!” “You just made The List!” “I’m from Winnipeg, you idiot!” “RAW is Jericho” “Jericho-holics” “Drink it in, maaaaaan.” “You’ll never, eeeeeevvvvvver be the same, again.” “Shut up, junior!”

You just read all of those in Chris Jericho-voice. He’s in your head, where he belongs.
