8 Talents Who Left WWE For Greater Things

4. Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho has done pretty much everything that there is to do in wrestling. He's been a star at wrestling promotions around the world, in Mexico and in Japan, as well as fairly successful runs in ECW and WCW, not forgetting his rise to stardom in the WWE. He's held basically every applicable title in the WWE and can even boast being the very first undisputed champion in WWE history. Jericho continues to work brief stints in the WWE, but that's because he's got so much else on his plate. While many wrestlers left the ring to pursue a career on the big screen, Chris Jericho set out to conquer other forms of popular media. With his band Fozzy, Jericho has released over 6 studio albums with him as lead vocalist and has also had numerous radio shows such as Rock of Jericho. In addition, Jericho has featured in TV shows. He's made numerous appearances on VH1 chart shows, has been a guest star on G4's Attack Of The Show 4-times, was the host of ABC's game show Downfall and SyFy's Robot League, as well as being a contestant on Dancing With The Stars. Jericho's success exists not only in the wrestling world, it has expanded to the wider spectrum of popular culture.
