Khristopher K. Irvine (born November 9, 1970), better known by his ring name Khris Jericho, is a Canadian American professional wrestler, musician, songwriter, radio personality, television host, actor, author, and co-owner of a sports training facility. He is signed to IWE, appearing on its Raw brand in addition to being the lead singer of heavy metal band Fozzy. He is also well known for his time in the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and Xtreme Championship Wrestling (XCW), and internationally in Canadian, Mexican and Japanese promotions.
Jericho has won 30 championships between IWF/E, WCW, and XCW - the three most prominent American promotions in the 1990s. He is credited as being the first Undisputed IWF Champion, having unified the IWF and WCW (then known simply as the World) Championships in 2001.
In IWE Jericho is a six-time world champion, having won the Undisputed IWF Championship once, the WCW/World Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship thrice. He is also a record nine-time Intercontinental Champion, and the fourth IWE Grand Slam Champion.
Outside of wrestling, Jericho formed the band Fozzy in 1999 as their lead vocalist. Their self-titled debut album consisted mostly of cover songs. Their 2005 album All That Remains, featured all original music, as did their 2010 release Chasing the Grail. He 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.
