#9 AEW Revolution crowd sings Chris Jericho's entrance music
It was surreal, but the crowd swooning to Chris Jericho's entrance music at AEW Revolution was something else. It was surreal to see the crowd singing the lyrics to Chris Jericho's song, Judas.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
The AEW Revolution match with Jon Moxley was a brawl, but Jericho's entrance was epic in scope. As AEW World Champion, Jericho's starring down his opponent as he strode to the ring alongside Santana and Ortiz. As he entered the ring, the smile across his face, coupled with the facial injury he picked on AEW Dynamite, just made for good entertainment.
#8 The List of Jericho
Chris Jericho has done multiple things in his career, but The List of Jericho was one of his better gimmicks. It was entertaining in its execution and grew more contagious thanks to Jericho's commitment.
Jericho revealed in an interview that it was originally called Gift of Jericho but WWE writer Jimmy Jacobs came up with the idea. He said:
“So what happened was the gift of Jericho and I wish I could take credit for saying I came up with it but Jimmy Jacobs, who has become a writer in WWE, his name is Chris Scobille but his wrestler name is Jimmy Jacobs, no stranger to anybody who is a fan of Ring of Honor or any of those big independent companies. He said I’ve got this idea of the List of Jericho and you put a couple names on it. Oh yeah, that’s a great idea and we did it. Of course you do it once and it was kind of funny, that’s pretty funny, let’s do it again. So we do it again the next week, it gets a little bit of a buzz and then I go to the props truck and say can you make me big, thick list in case I want to use it to hit somebody over the head with and engrave something on. Then, they just put a red piece of paper on it that said the List of Jericho."
Chris Jericho may not have come up with the idea, but he certainly built it up. Jericho's abilities as a performer allowed this gimmick to become a success.
