10 Wrestlers Who Made Chris Jericho Submit
He's the master of the Walls of Jericho but even the G.O.A.T. has his very own list.
He is the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla, the G.O.A.T so drink it in man. Chris Jericho has accomplished virtually everything in his career, from becoming Undisputed Champion to having stellar feuds with Shawn Michaels and CM Punk. His entrance over the years has rarely changed but evolved to suit the times such as his signature pose being upgraded to include his sparkly LED jacket. Don't forget his list either, or you will be placed on it.
One thing Jericho also has going for him is the amount of times he's submitted over his illustrious career. In his 17 year tenure with the WWE he has only submitted to no less than 10 different wrestlers officially, that is some feat to be explored.
So who made Jericho tap? Venture forth with your $600 scarf to find out.
10. Chris Benoit – Raw May 8th 2000
Jericho's first tap out occurred on a very bad night. After winning the Intercontinental Championship from Chris Benoit mere days before on Smackdown, Jericho had to run the gauntlet so to speak by having three championship matches in one night on Monday Night Raw. The first against Kurt Angle caused a tap out by the Olympic gold medallist with the Walls of Jericho. The second match against The Big Show ended in a count out victory for Jericho despite being dominated and fatigued. The final match had the odds massively stacked against him, with Triple H as special guest referee. At the time the McMahon-Helmsley regime was dominant. As a result, the ending of the match involved Triple H blind-sighting Jericho before Benoit locking in the Crossface.
Despite never tapping, Triple H instantly rings the belt in favour of Benoit, awarding him the IC title. Officially this means Jericho's first WWF submission loss was by true definition of a screw-job. Benoit submitted Jericho properly at the Judgment Day PPV a couple of weeks later, but for the record books, this edition of Raw was Jericho's first submission loss in the World Wrestling Federation
