Wrestling Bios Presents - The WCW Career of Chris Jericho Before he was Y2J, before he was The Best in the World at what he does, and before he was All Elite in AEW, Chris Jericho made a name for himself with US audiences in WCW as Lionheart Chris Jericho. Chris had already became a well travelled wrestler by 1996, working in Canada, the United States, Europe and Mexico. When Jericho had a brief run in ECW, Eric Bischoff took notice, and Chris Jericho was signed WCW in the summer on 96. While in WCW, Jericho began work as a clean good guy wrestler. After a stint in Japan as Super Liger thanks to a working agreement WCW had with New Japan Pro Wrestling, Jericho made his way back to the USA and worked towards turning heel. Once Jericho turned at WCW Souled Out 1998, he was then able to cut some of the best promos of his career, from becoming "The Man of 1004 holds" to introducing the world to Jericho Personal Security and Ralphus. While Jericho doesn't look back at his time in WCW fondly, there's no doubt that he put in some of his best work within Ted Turner's promotion.
