History Heartwarming / ChrisJericho

--> '''Jericho''': I apologize that it wasn't what you were expecting it to be, but I wanted to do something to show everybody how much you mean to me as a friend. Ok? For the last year, I gotta tell you, listen, I've had such a great time about working with you and being your partner, it's made this year in WWE one of my favorite years of my career, and a lot of that is because of you. It really is. I've had a lot of friends in this business, and a lot of partners, but I haven't the chemistry with any of them that I've had with you. It's been a joy, you've made my job and my time here in the WWE a better place, and I wanna thank you for that.

--> '''Michelle [=McCool=]''' One of the agents came up to us and was like: "I can't believe y'all did that! You have no idea! We were all backstage, scared to death!" We were like: "...What? We know how to safely bump. We wouldn't do anything that would put either one of us at risk. We're totally fine! If the men can do it, why can't we do it?" He said: "It looked too good! You can't go out there throwing punches like that, or taking bumps like that -- that looks better than some of the guys! You can't do that!" Finally, I remember Chris Jericho, who was by the ring, hears all of this going on. He said: "Look, if the guys can't follow what the girls are doing, then the guys need to step it up! I thought it was awesome. They did great. And it's not their problem that it looked that great!" I was like... "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!" Because out of respect, we can't say anything, and here comes one of the boys -- Jericho, of all people, sticking up for us!

* Wrestling/MichelleMcCool recounted the time when she and Wrestling/{{Melina}} put on a really good match including an awesome spot where she gave Melina a DDT into the ring barricade, only to get reamed out backstage for having the temerity to look "better than the guys". Jericho stormed up and stood up for them, telling the agent chewing them out that "If the guys can't follow what the girls are doing, then the guys need to step it up!"

** On the March 20, 2017 RAW, Jericho revealed not only was Owens [[PromotedFanboy a fan of his when he was a teenager]], but [[https://youtu.be/Izx7TEePODU he'd also asked Jericho for advice when he first started in the WWE]], with Owens concluding their exchange with "If you need anything, drop me a line."

* During his WWE Network interview with Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon, the two naturally start reminiscing about their long running feud. Steph admits that she considered the myriad insults directed at her to be just as much of a CrowningMomentOfFunny [[ActuallyPrettyFunny as the rest of us do]].

* During Wrestlemania 28, MickFoley (who never beat Jericho in a match), noted that the next Wrestlemania was in the New York/New Jersey area and it would have been fun to finally drop an elbow on him at Madison Square Garden. When Foley told this story at the Wrestlemania 29 Hall of Fame Ceremony at the Garden, Jericho ran up on-stage and laid down, with Wrestling/CMPunk following to count a pinfall.

* During a very brutal and personal feud with CMPunk, after their match at Wrestlemania 28, Jericho subtley shoots on Punk by ruffling his hair like a big brother. Coincidentally (or maybe not) it happened during a closeup shot.

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

** On October 3rd 2015, he observed his 25th anniversary in the business with Lance, Wrestling/DonCallis, and former FMW and WAR star "Dr. Luther" Len Olsen at ringside for his match against KevinOwens at Madison Square Garden.

* Combining this with a TearJerker moment is his [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U3O5YMMlg0 rumba]] on Week 3 of ''DancingWithTheStars''. The theme was for the contestant to pick a personal song that told a story about them. Chris picked "Let it Be" by the Beatles because it reminds him of his mother. As readers of ''A Lion's Tale'' know, his mother was in a serious car accident when Chris was just beginning his career. He was ready to give up wrestling, but his mother told him to stay with it. She died in 2005 and loved dancing - he's said many times she would have loved seeing him on DWTS more than anything.
