Then: Jim Ross said on his podcast that Chris Jericho was the one responsible for most of those memorable spots in a hard-hitting ladder bout opposite Chris Benoit. If true, then that speaks to the creativity the then-'Y2J' has always had.

'Le Champion' has also been dabbling in colour commentary lately.
