Chris Jericho brought a new element to the game. He was uniquely gifted on the microphone, while at the same time being an expert in-ring technician. Jericho was, after all, the man of 1,004 holds, writes KevinMichie.

Chris Jericho is more than twenty years old. Chris Irvine began wrestling in 1990. The son of a former professional hockey player, Irvine gravitated toward wrestling and ended up in training to go pro in Calgary under the tutelage of the famous Hart family.

But that was just a taste of who Jericho would become in WWE. He was a larger-than-life rockstar that transcended the audience. Jericho was well known as an excellent ring technician and solid entertainer before entering WWE, but the Ayatollah of Rock n’ Rolla became so much more than that upon entering the big leagues.

Hart was the gold standard in not just Canadian wrestling, but all pro wrestling. His technical skills in the ring were nearly unmatched. Jericho, however, brought a new element to the game. He was uniquely gifted on the microphone, while at the same time being an expert in-ring technician. Jericho was, after all, the man of 1,004 holds.

Jericho was someone who Canadian’s could praise in the same way Don Cherry praised Doug Gilmour. He was a good Canadian boy, but also someone who fit inside the American world of pro wrestling, bridging a divide between nations thanks to his wrestling acumen.
