* His above-mentioned [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrJEKiUQzqg 2007 return]], which aside from being totally awesome ''and'' funny for his attacks on Wrestling/RandyOrton, showed what appreciation and love the fans have for him. Hell, it took ''him'' a couple minutes to get over all the love.

* In his Podcast with Vickie Guerrero, Chris mentions how he learned a lot from her husband Wrestling/EddieGuerrero, not just about being a wrestler, but as a human being. When they were leaving a restaurant, Eddie left a significant tip for the waiter, and Chris asked him why he did so. Eddie told him "What's $4 or more dollars to you? To them, it could mean making rent or something", and from then on, Chris always overtips, inspired by Eddie's compassion.

* As revealed in ''Dark Side Of Wrestling: Benoit Part 2'' It was Chris Jericho who reconnected Sandra (Nancy Benoit's sister) and her nephew in law David into each other's lives. The Benoit family had kept them distant since the tragedy for 13 years, Chris knew those two suffered and would immediately understand each other, and invited them to attend ''AEW Revolution'' together.

** And a few days before their 30th anniversary, Chris had Lance on his ''[[https://www.webisjericho.com/talk-is-jericho-first-match-watchalong-lance-storm-vs-chris-jericho/ Talk Is Jericho]]'' pocast, where Jericho revealed Lance had kept a video recording of their first two matches in the Canadian Wrestling Connection, the first of which the two of them watched and commentated on while reminiscing about how they got started in the industry.

And despite having a chuckle about how green they still were (although also obviously talented even at that stage), they're both still proud of the match (Jericho personally gives it 2 1/2 stars). After watching the match go to its conclusion (a time limit draw), Jericho talks about how after finishing that match he'd felt a rush like it had been the most amazing thing he'd ever done.

* A big one that most people wouldn't be aware of (fortunately WebVideo/{{Cultaholic}} shared it in their video on [[https://youtu.be/UeVhHsaOMhk?t=57 10 Wrestling Matches Changed On The Fly]]) took place during Jericho's feud with Wrestling/RickySteamboat in 2009. Following Steamboat's [[StillGotIt age-defying performance]] at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 25'', his one-off return got extended into a final run, which included a series of house show matches against Jericho in Tokyo, Honolulu and Greenville South Carolina. While Jericho was supposed to win all three matches after hitting the Codebreaker, during the Greenville match Jericho realised that they were in [[Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance NWA]] territory and was inspired to do something different to repay his childhood hero Steamboat for everything he'd done for him. Calling an audible in the ring and convincing his opponent to kick out of the finisher, Jericho whispered only three words to Steamboat as the crowd went mad: ''[[CallBack "Wrestlemania III finish"]].'' Steamboat understood in an instant, and when Jericho scooped him up for the slam, replicated the end of his legendary victory over Wrestling/RandySavage (in what is still considered by some to be the greatest ''[=WrestleMania=]'' match of all time) by slipping out and rolling Jericho up for the pin and the unexpected (and heartwarming) victory.

* As mentioned in the Awesome page, backstage at ''Wrestling/SummerSlam 2016'' Jericho grew concerned for Randy Orton after his match with Brock Lesnar ended in [[spoiler:TKO when Lesnar busted Orton open the hard way]], and an altercation happened backstage with Lesnar that had Jericho ''backing Lesnar against a wall''. Jericho was ready to fight ''Brock Lesnar'' if he had hurt Orton intentionally (remember that Jericho legitimately fought {{Goldberg}} and, in some accounts, won with a simple front face lock). It really showcases that [[BigBrotherInstinct much concern for a fellow wrestler]]. He would have probably gone on to do it too, had backstage officials and Orton himself not stepped in to explain.
