Chris Jericho citations

Christopher Keith Irvine , plus connu sous le nom de Chris Jericho, est un catcheur canadien et le chanteur du groupe de metal Fozzy. Il travaille actuellement à la New Japan Pro Wrestling et la All Elite Wrestling, où il est le premier et actuel champion du monde de la All Elite Wrestling.

Durant sa carrière de catcheur, il a été six fois champion du monde : deux fois champion du monde poids-lourds de la WCW, neuf fois champion Intercontinental, une fois champion de la WWF, deux fois champion des États-Unis et trois fois champion du monde poids-lourds de la WWE. Il devient le premier lutteur à avoir remporté la ceinture Intercontinental de deux fédérations différentes dans sa carrière le WWE Intercontinental Championship à la WWE et la IWGP Intercontinental Championship à la NJPW.

Premier Champion Incontesté de l'histoire de la WWF, il détient le record de détentions du Championnat Intercontinental, titre qu'il a possédé neuf fois, et est quintuple champion par équipe . À la WWE, c'est aussi un ancien Champion Européen et Hardcore. Il est aussi quadruple Champion Poids-Légers de la WCW et est le quatrième Grand Slam Champion de l'histoire de la WWE.

C'est en 1999 que, après avoir travaillé notamment à la Extreme Championship Wrestling et la World Championship Wrestling, Chris Jericho rejoint la World Wrestling Federation , où son premier match a lieu lors de la toute première émission de SmackDown. Il prend ensuite le surnom de Y2J et remporte ses premiers titres . C'est en 2001, lors de Vengeance 2001, que Chris Jericho devient le premier champion incontesté de l'histoire de la fédération en battant l'un après l'autre The Rock, pour le championnat du monde poids-lourds de la WCW, puis Stone Cold Steve Austin, pour le championnat de la WWF.

Après avoir quitté la WWE à l'expiration de son contrat en 2005 et avoir totalement disparu du monde du catch pendant plus de deux ans, il revient à la fédération en 2007. Hormis plusieurs nouveaux titres mondiaux, par équipe et Intercontinentaux, il eut notamment en 2008 une rivalité avec Shawn Michaels qui fut acclamée par la critique. Il remporte le championnat du monde poids-lourds, pour la troisième fois, le 21 février 2010 lors de Elimination Chamber avant de le perdre le 2 avril de la même année face à Jack Swagger, deux jours après l'avoir défendu avec succès à WrestleMania XXVI. Après avoir participé au main event par équipe de SummerSlam 2010, où son équipe l'emporte, et avoir tenté sans succès de remporter le championnat de la WWE lors de Night of Champions, la fédération annonce son départ en octobre 2010.

Consacrant plus de temps en tournée avec son groupe Fozzy, Chris Jericho est contraint de faire des retours à la WWE à court terme : il fait un retour surprise au début de 2012 au sein de la fédération, avant de la quitter à nouveau huit mois plus tard. Puis, lors du Royal Rumble 2013, il fait un nouveau retour. Il a affronté Kenny Omega à Wrestle Kingdom 12.

En dehors de son travail de catcheur, il est podcasteur et interview fréquemment dans l'émission The Talk Is Jericho des personnalités du monde du catch

Chris Jericho: Citations en anglais

“Welcome to Raw Is Jericho! And I am the new millennium for the World Wrestling Federation. Now for those of you who don't know me, I am Chris Jericho, your new hero, your party host, and most importantly, the most charismastic showman to ever enter your living rooms via a television screen. And for those of you who DO know me, well, all hail the Ayatollah of Rock and Roll-a!
Now when you think of the new millennium, you think of an event so gigantic that it changes the course of history. You think of a dawning of a new era. In this case, the dawning of a new era in the WWF. Thank you, thank you. And a new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs. What was once a captivating, trend-setting program has now deteriorated into a cliched, let's be honest, boring snoozefest that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor, and that's why I'm here. Chris Jericho has come to save the WWF!
Now let's go over the facts. Television ratings, downward spiral; pay-per-view buy-rates, plummeting; mainstream acceptance, non-existent; and reactions of the live crowds, complete and utter silence. And I know why you're silent! You're silent because you're embarrassed to be here. And quite honestly, I'm embarrassed for you. And the reason why you're embarrassed is because of the steady stream of uninteresting, untalented, mediocre "sports entertainers" who you're forced to cheer for and care for. No wonder you're not cheering! You could care less about every single idiot in that dressing room, [indicating The Rock] and especially this idiot in the center of the ring. You people have been led to believe that mediocrity is excellence. Uh-uh. Jericho is excellence. And now for the first time in WWF history, you have a man who can entertain you. You have a man who is good enough for you. You have a man who can make you jump up off your chairs, raise your filthy fat little hands in the air and scream "Go Jericho go! Go Jericho go! Go Jericho go!"”

Thank you.
The new millennium has arrived in the WWF, and now that the Y2J problem is here, this company—from the front-office idiots to all the amateurs in the dressing room, including this one, to everybody watching tonight—will never, ee-e-e-e-(slaps face) ever be the same... again!
August 9, 1999 - WWE Raw

“Yeah, congratulations. Way to go, Punk, way to go. Congratulations on your big win. You need to enjoy them while you can. You see, you can smirk if you want to, but I see straight through you. When I look at you, I see a fraud. And I'm not talking about the fact that you call yourself the best in the world, I'm talking about you as a person. Because I did a little research this week, Punk, and I found something, a little deep, dirty, dark secret about you. You've been straight edge ever since you came to the WWE, but you've never explained the reasons why. I wanna tell all of these wannabes why you're straight edge. I wanna tell them that you're straight edge because your father is an alcoholic.
Yeah, that's right. Your father was an alcoholic who let you down every step of the way when you were growing up, and it terrifies you. You don't want to end up like him. But it's inevitable that you will, because alcohol is in your blood, it's in your genes, it's part of who you are, and that tortures you. I know you've built this facade, this wall that you're a sarcastic antihero with not a care in the world, but I think I've found something that you care about. I've found something that gives you nightmares, something that terrifies you.
And isn't it ironic that the very alcohol that you crave is the same thing that ruined your childhood? Oh, the nightmares you must have about your father; I almost feel bad for you, Punk. Is that the reason why you have all those tattoos? Was the pain of wanting to drink so bad that you needed the pain of a tattoo needle to take it out of your mind? Was that your only solace?
It doesn't matter if it is, Punk, because you are going to drink eventually, and I'm the one who is going to make you drink. At WrestleMania XXVIII, I'm going to take away your title, I'm gonna take away your claims of being the best in the world, I'm gonna take away your bravado, and I'm gonna leave you a broken man. You're gonna hit bottom, Punk, and when you do, you're going to embrace your destiny, and you're gonna take a drink. And it's gonna taste so good that you're gonna wanna take another one, and another one, and another one. After April 1st, I'm gonna be recognized for who I am—the undisputed best in the world and the new WWE Champion. And you're gonna be recognized for who you are, who your father was—a pathetic damn drunk!”
