Tougher than a hockey body check and as quick as a slapshot, Chris Jericho brings an ice cold efficiency into the ring from his hard-hitting hockey heritage. As the son of 10-year NHL veteran Amos "Ted" Irvine, young Jericho is equipped with the athletic tools and ferocity to become one of the brightest WCW superstars. His dad skated in 724 games with Los Angeles, New York and St. Louis with a career 154 goals and 177 assists.
Nicknamed "Lionheart" for his brazen ring assaults and blond flowing mane, Jericho forged his combative craft in Japan, Mexico and Canada. Mixing the brutal physical style of Japan with the aerial maneuvers of Mexico creates a Jericho ring style part-Chris Benoit and part-Eddy Guerrero, two of the greatest WCW champions.
Already Jericho has put WCW opponents on notice by winning the WCW Cruiserweight title. From hockey to lionsaults, it is clear that Jericho on the wing or Jericho in the ring will always find a way to shoot and score!
