Chris Jericho was born to be a star -- more importantly, a WWE Superstar. In 1990, Jericho began training at the legendary Stu Hart’s notorious “Dungeon,” and later that year, made his debut on the independent circuit in Canada, teaming with Lance Storm. From there, he competed and won numerous championships in Japan and Mexico, such as the International Junior Heavyweight Championship and the NWA Middleweight Championship.

Jericho's career began to escalate in 1996, when he debuted in ECW and later became that organization’s Television Champion. Later that year, he made his debut in WCW as “Lionheart” Chris Jericho. In 1997, he captured his first Cruiserweight Championship. During that time, he flourished in legendary title battles with Dean Malenko and current WWE Superstar Rey Mysterio.

On August 9, 1999, Chris Jericho arrived in WWE on a mission: to be a one-man, human-highlight reel. Within months of his arrival, he won the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Just a few months later, at WrestleMania 2000, he defeated Chris Benoit and Kurt Angle in a Triple-Threat Match for the European Championship. Despite all of his success, Jericho had one final goal, and on December 9, 2001, he achieved it. On that night, Jericho defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the first-ever Undisputed World Champion. Since then, Jericho has continued to excel, maintaining his status as one of the sport’s greatest talents. If he is not in action, he is probably hosting his interview segment, “Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel, ” instigating confrontations and controversy. In addition to his full-time schedule of competition, Jericho travels worldwide as lead vocalist with his rock group, Fozzy. (excerpt from WWE.com)

My Prediction: My prediction for Jericho this year is that he will continue his fued with Christian and possibly a shot at the World Heavyweight Title.
