Chris Jericho 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements
Christopher Keith Irvine, better known as Chris Jericho, is a Canadian professional wrestler currently signed to AEW. He is also a musician, author, actor, and podcaster.
Jericho is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Some would even say that he is the greatest professional wrestler of all time. That isn't just because of him constantly reinventing himself in the WWE, but also because of his achievements outside the company.
Jericho began training to become a wrestler at 19 at the Hart Brothers School of Wrestling. His incredible skills led to the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) signing him. However, he was frustrated by the company constantly pushing ex-WWE superstars at the cost of its homegrown talent. This led to him signing with the WWE and quickly becoming one of the top stars in the company.
Chris became the first undisputed WWF Champion, defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in one night. He would have many iconic feuds in the company ranging from old-timers like Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and The Rock to the new generation like Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens.
His ability to reinvent himself saw him excel both as a babyface and a heel. His most recent run with the WWE saw him incorporate things like "The List" and his "stupid idiot" catchphrase that caught on like wildfire. This was a tremendous example of how Jericho stayed relevant even as times changed.
He left the WWE soon after to wrestle for smaller promotions like NJPW and AEW. Jericho has continued to rebuild himself even in the twilight of his career, and therefore, he is so respected.

Since then, he has formed his own heel stable comprising Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz. The group has been the top draw in the company.
