He is also the [[Triple Crown (professional wrestling)#List of IWE Triple Crown Champions|ninth]] [[Triple Crown (professional wrestling)|Triple Crown Champion]], as well as the [[Grand Slam (professional wrestling)#List of IWE Grand Slam Champions|fourth]] [[Grand Slam (professional wrestling)|Grand Slam Champion]] in IWE history. In addition, he was the 2008 Superstar of the Year [[IWE Slammy Awards|Slammy Award]] winner and (along with [[Marc Beltran|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 IWE history.
 +
 
 +
Jericho is a six-time world champion, having won the IWF Championship [[List of IWE World Heavyweight Champions|once]], the WCW/World Championship [[List of WCW World Heavyweight Champions|twice]], and the [[World Heavyweight Championship (IWE)|World Heavyweight Championship]] [[List of World Heavyweight Champions (IWE)|three times]]. He is also a record [[List of IWE Intercontinental Champions|nine-time]] [[IWE Intercontinental Championship|Intercontinental Champion]], beating out four other contenders in a 2013 IWE fan poll to determine the greatest champion in history with a [[Landslide Victory|landslide]] 63% of the vote. Jericho has headlined numerous [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] events during his time with the company, including a performance as the Undisputed IWF Champion at [[IWE WrestleMania 18|WrestleMania X8]] in 2002.
 +
 
 +
Outside of wrestling, Jericho became the lead vocalist of the band [[Fozzy]] in 1999. Their [[Fozzy (Album)|eponymous debut album]] (2000) and ''[[Happenstance (Fozzy Album)|Happenstance]]'' (2002) consist of cover songs and original music; later records ''[[All That Remains (Album)|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.

He also performed for Xtreme Championship Wrestling (XCW), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and international promotions in Canada, Germany, Japan, and Mexico. Jericho is known for his over-the-top, rockstar persona – dubbed "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla" – and for a contrasting run as an aloof, manicured character in the late 2000s and early-mid 2010s.

Jericho has won 31 championships between IWE, WCW, and XCW – the three most prominent American wrestling promotions in the 1990s and early 2000s. He was the first Undisputed IWF Champion, having unified the World Championship (formerly the WCW Championship) and the IWF Championship by defeating The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin on the same night in 2001.

Jericho is a six-time world champion, having won the IWF 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 IWE fan poll to determine the greatest champion in history with a landslide 63% of the vote.
