Bio
Christopher Keith Irvine, better known by the ring name Chris Jericho, is an American-Canadian actor, radio host, rock musician and inactive professional wrestler. His father, Ted Irvine, is a former National Hockey League player.

Born in Manhasset, New York, Jericho trained at Stu Hart's pro-wrestling camp in Calgary, Alberta from June to September 1990. Jericho is best known for his appearances with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), and is credited as being the first ever WWE Undisputed Champion and a record holding seven-time WWE Intercontinental Champion.

In the summer of 2005, Jericho turned heel once more by turning on WWE Champion John Cena. He lost to Cena in a championship match at SummerSlam. The next night on Raw, Jericho faced Cena in a rematch, this time in a "You're fired" match, where the loser would be fired. Cena won again, and Eric Bischoff (kayfabe) fired a pleading Jericho, who was carried out of the arena by security.

On August 25, 2005, he announced his departure from WWE in a statement on his official website, saying that after 15 years of wrestling he was mentally burnt out and no longer challenged by wrestling at that point in time, noting that he has done everything he has ever wanted to do in the business. He said that the "You're fired" match with John Cena was his last match "for now," but said he wasn't done with wrestling or WWE, and that if he returned to wrestling, it would be with WWE.

Jericho was inducted into the Canadian Wrestling Hall of Fame on September 25, 1997. On July 5, 2004, he was awarded The Order of the Buffalo Hunt in a ceremony held in Manitoba for his achievements in wrestling and his continual commitment to working with underprivileged children.

Besides being a professional wrestler, he has a degree in journalism and is the frontman of the heavy metal group Fozzy. He also started his own weekly XM Satellite Radio show, in March 2005 called "Rock of Jericho," which could be heard on Sunday Nights on XM 41 The Boneyard until late last year when it was pulled.

On June 24, 2006 Jericho premiered in his first Sci-Fi channel movie, Android Apocalypse, alongside Joseph Lawrence. He also debuted as a stage actor in a Bird entertainment theatre comedy play "Opening Night", which premiered in Toronto Centre for the Arts during July 20-22, 2006 in Toronto. He was one of eight celebrities in the 2006 Fox Television singing reality show, Celebrity Duets.
