10 Unbelievable Lookalikes That Will Ruin Wrestling For You

5. Chris Jericho Is Gordon Ramsay

From Rangers Football Club/Great Shame trialist to celebrity super-chef, Gordon Ramsay knows almost as much about reinvention as his lookalike Chris Jericho, wrestling's 'Madonna', who started out as a Shawn Michaels tribute act and, all these decades later, markets himself now as an awesomely violent, pissed-up step-dad rocker.

They're very similar, these two.

Gordon, in putting two slices of bread either side of some poor fool's head, has guaranteed himself inclusion into every single last Twitter thread you will ever see. From 'Idiot sandwich' to 'Stupid idiot', both have played the overbearing cleverest guy in the room to successful effect. Both are also the most jumped-up, aggressive guys in the room. This is Ramsay's entire schtick, dealing as he does with amateurish restauranteurs and inept chefs.

Jericho is similarly combustible. You get the distinct impression that he actively enjoys it when people pick a fight with him, because he seems to relish beating the piss out of drunken chancers and overzealous fans alike.

If a nine year-old kid tapped Jericho on the shoulder one too many times, and he turned around and flattened the little prick, you'd be shocked - but you wouldn't be surprised.
