WWE News: Chris Jericho's adds multiple WWE Superstars to his list on RAW 25

What's the story?

Chris Jericho is one of the most charismatic stars to ever step into WWE. Jericho made an appearance on Raw's 25th Anniversary show wearing the Alpha t-shirt from his feud with Kenny Omega in NJPW.

Jericho was being interviewed backstage by Mike Rome, and in a classic move, he confused Mike Rome with Tom Phillips. He called Mike Rome, 'Tom', and the real Tom Phillips who was walking by came to clear up the confusion. What followed was the craze of 'Listamania' taking hold as there were several additions to the infamous 'List of Jericho'.

In case you didn't know...

Jericho was involved in a historic match with Kenny Omega earlier in this month when he faced Omega on NJPW's Wrestle Kingdom 12, making it his first match outside WWE since joining the company in 1999.

A part of Jericho's gimmick has always been to confuse names. Be it wrestlers like Kurt (Kirk) Angle and Steve Austin (Assclown), or announcers like Lilian (Vivian) Garcia and Michael (Mitchell) Cole, no one was spared from Jericho's tendency to confuse names. In his last run with WWE, he would make it a point to forget Tom Phillips and Mike Rome's names each time that they would interview him.

The heart of the matter

When he saw Phillips and Rome to each of his sides, Jericho said he knew what they were doing. He referred to each of them as Tom Mike and Mike Tom and proceeded to confuse matters even more, without giving them a chance to talk. He said that they were trying to make him crazy, and he brought in 'Hippy' Mike Tom, a backstage WWE worker, and Cathy Kelley and said that she was 'Sister Mike Tom'.

He then asked them if they knew what happened to people when they tried to confuse Y2J and informed them both that they had 'made the list'. Jericho continued and appeared to have a meltdown, adding more and more people to the list including, 'Hippy' Tom Mike and 'Sister' Tom Mike, Tom Dustin and the Cameraman.

He left the scene adding more and more people to the list in a hilarious end to the segment.

What's next?

Jericho will likely return to NJPW where he has a possible feud with Tetsuya Naito. He will not be in the Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania either, due to his plans for his Fozzy Tour.

Author's take

Jericho is possibly the most important star in wrestling today. Breaking barriers and 'Walls' by working in both NJPW and WWE simultaneously he has taken things to a new level and is one of the most popular wrestlers in the world today.

Next time Vince wants him to come to Raw he may have to bring a bigger chequebook.
