Thoughts From a Recovering Jerichoholic Chris Jericho has long been one of my favourite performers, heck, my user name comes from his iconic Man of 1,004 Holds promo.
I first became aware of Chris Jericho through wrestling magazines that would mention his work in Mexico and Japan in the early 90 s. I wasn t necessarily a fan at this point, as I didn t have access to a way to watch his matches but he certainly piqued my interest being a fellow Western Canadian. I was overjoyed when he showed up on WCW and I could finally see this individual that I was so curious about. Jericho and the rest of the crusierweight division at WCW quickly became the main reason that I tuned into WCW. Lionheart had me always wanting more with his blend of in ring acumen and mic work. The entire Conspiracy Victim angle is still one of my personal favourite stories in wrestling history.
