Widely considered one of the best professional wrestlers of his generation, Chris Jericho has wowed audiences across the globe since making his in-ring debut in October of 1990. A veteran of ring wars in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Japan, not to mention other parts of the world that he has traveled to as part of the international entertainment phenomenon known as World Wrestling Entertainment, Jericho has crafted a resume and legacy for himself that is nearly untouchable by any other Superstar in today's wrestling landscape. Over the course of the 25 years he has spent in the sport, he has been responsible for a number of matches that have stolen the shows he has appeared on, earning him the reputation of a must-see performer. Wars with Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, Edge, Chris Benoit and The Rock elevated his star and made him one of the most influential and respected stars in the industry. Recently, Jericho made a shocking return to WWE and was immediately targeted by Bray Wyatt, igniting a feud that should lead to some extraordinary matches in the very near future. With so many ultra-talented young stars populating the modern WWE roster, Jericho has the opportunity to add to his legacy by helping bring along the men that will be responsible with ensuring the future of the sport. Whether it is Wyatt, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Rusev or Bo Dallas, the potential exists for those stars to see their careers elevated via matches with Y2J. As Jericho embarks on his latest return to the ring, one that could prove to be far more influential five years from now than anyone could have expected, relive 10 of his top show stealing performances.
