During the introduction to this piece, it was reasoned that Chris Jericho has been able to prolong his WWE career brilliantly time and time again. Y2J's latest guise is a heel character, even if fans do react positively to his appearances alongside WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens each week on Raw.

At the heart of his success, Jericho carries the 'List Of Jericho' with him everywhere he goes. A simple idea, the list revolves around Y2J becoming so exasperated with others that he puts them on his own personal list of enemies. Remarkably, it wasn't Jericho who came up with the idea.

Again speaking to The LAW podcast, the veteran said that it was actually Jimmy Jacobs who approached him with the concept of the list. Jacobs is better known to some wrestling fans for his work in Ring Of Honor, although he has since become part of the writing team in WWE.

The 'List Of Jericho' is one of Raw's most valuable gimmicks right now. Jimmy Jacobs is the one Jericho gives full credit to, he broached the subject in the first place and came up with the core concept.
