Christopher Keith Irvine (born November 9, 1970), better known by the ring name Chris Jericho, is an American Canadian professional wrestler, musician, media personality, actor, author, and businessman, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He is best known for his time with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and internationally in Canadian, German, Japanese, and Mexican promotions. He is known for his over-the-top, rock star persona – dubbed "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla" – and for a contrasting run as an aloof, manicured villain in the late 2000s and early 2010s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=WWE )〕 Jericho has won 30 championships between WWE, WCW, and ECW – the three most prominent American promotions in the 1990s and early 2000s. He is credited as being the first Undisputed WWF Champion, having unified the World Championship (formerly the WCW Championship) and the WWF Championship by defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night in 2001.〔 He is also the ninth Triple Crown Champion, as well as the fourth Grand Slam Champion in WWE history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=WWE )〕 In addition, he was the 2008 Superstar of the Year Slammy Award winner and (along with Big Show as Jeri-Show) won the 2009 Tag Team of the Year Slammy Award – making him the only winner of both Superstar and Tag Team of the Year in WWE history. In WWE, Jericho is a six-time world champion, having won the WWF Championship once, the WCW/World Championship twice, and the World Heavyweight Championship three times. He is also a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion, beating out four other contenders in a 2013 WWE fan poll to determine the greatest Intercontinental champion in history with a landslide 63% of the vote. Jericho has headlined numerous pay-per-view events during his time with the company, including a performance as the Undisputed WWF Champion at WrestleMania X8 in 2002.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=WWE )〕 Outside of wrestling, Jericho became the lead vocalist of the band Fozzy in 1999. Their eponymous debut album (2000) and ''Happenstance'' (2002) consist of cover songs and original music; later records ''All That Remains'' (2005), ''Chasing the Grail'' (2010), ''Sin and Bones'' (2012), and ''Do You Wanna Start a War'' (2014) are comprised entirely or predominantly of original compositions. Jericho also competed in the 2011 series of ''Dancing With the Stars'', lasting until the sixth week. Prior to this, he hosted the ABC game show ''Downfall'' and the Revolver Golden Gods Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wwe.com/inside/overtheropes/jericho-golden-gods-2013-photos )〕 == Early life == Chris Irvine was born in Manhasset, New York, when his father, ice hockey player Ted Irvine, had relocated to play for the New York Rangers. When his dad retired they moved back to Winnipeg. His interest in professional wrestling began when he started watching the local American Wrestling Association events that took place at the Winnipeg Arena with his family, and his desire to become a wrestler himself began when he saw footage of Owen Hart, then appearing with Stampede Wrestling, performing various high-flying wrestling moves. In addition to Owen Hart, Irvine also cites Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Shawn Michaels as inspirations for his becoming a wrestler. His first experience with a wrestling promotion was when he acted as part of the ring crew for the first tour of the newly opened Keystone Wrestling Alliance promotion,〔 where he learned important pointers from independent wrestlers Catfish Charlie and Caveman Broda.〔 He also took a course in creative communication at Red River Community College, where he would graduate with top honors.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Jericho」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
