Long before Raw was ever Jericho and way before he thought he could one day be the ayatollah of rock-and-rolla, Chris Jericho was at the forefront of building a legendary Cruiserweight division for all fans to enjoy.
Chris Jericho got his start in the wrestling business at only 19 years of age. From the beginning, his charisma alone was enough to let everyone know he was something special. In the mid-1990’s, Chris found his way onto the infamous ECW roster, which is truly where things started to change.

Unfortunately for Paul Heyman and crew, WCW took quick notice of the young Jericho and quickly made him an offer he was not able to refuse.
Jericho was a part of the huge Cruiserweight push in WCW and from there, we all know how the rest of his legendary career would play out. Chris is now 46 years old, with a laundry list of accolades to his credit.
Even in the later years of his storied career, Chris is still good for a quick comeback and maybe even a title win. That is, of course, if he’s not too busy being a rock star.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
