If 2K don't call any Chris Jericho mode "The List of Jericho", then they're missing a trick.

Alternatively, they could get away with naming it "The Master of Reinvention Mode", because that's exactly what Jericho has been throughout his near 20-year run in WWE. From poodle-haired debutant and a golden period as Y2J, to being 'the best in the world at what he does' and fine purveyor of lists everywhere, Jericho has constantly updated his act.

He's worked classics with The Rock, invented Money in the Bank, become the first ever Undisputed Champion, lived a childhood dream by feuding with Shawn Michaels, reignited his career alongside Kevin Owens with the trusty list gimmick and done it all whilst pinning down a successful music career as the lead singer in Fozzy.

Charting some of Jericho's early matches in WCW would be a nice bonus for his Showcase too, and so would a little nod towards his entrepreneurial spirit outside the ring. The cruise-running, world-travelled rockstar-come-wrestler is one in a million, and his career merits 2K's inspection.
