Prior to landing up in WWE, Jericho had been signed to WCW, where he debuted in 1996.

Jericho was an integral part of WCW's Cruiserweight division, going on to be a four-time WCW Cruiserweight Champion.

The Winnipeg native also had a run as the holder of the WCW World Television Championship. He may not have been a main eventer for WCW, but Jericho's run did include a high-profile feud with Bill Goldberg and an unforgettable storyline as "The Man of 1,004 Holds."

Unlike the aforementioned Big Show, Jericho's career did not start with WCW. Prior to landing up in WCW, Jericho had found success within promotions in Canada, Mexico and Japan.

He had also done well in Extreme Championship Wrestling, where he had won the ECW World Television Championship.

While affiliated with WWE and part of an NJPW feud with Kenny Omega in 2018, Jericho has further branched out within another wrestling promotion, incorporating Ring Of Honor talent into his October 2018.
