* TooManyBelts: As Undisputed Champion, he deliberately carried both the Big Eagle Belt and the Wrestling/BigGoldBelt around with him (see the page image), using them in elaborate poses and taunting the crowd with them. Not long after he dropped the belts to Wrestling/TripleH, they were replaced with a single belt.

* TheArtifact: Jericho's countdown and explosion in his entrance theme was a reference to [[MillenniumBug the Y2K countdown]] (hence the nickname "Y 2 J") and such a motif became outdated by the time 2000 was over. However, over the years, he's kept the moniker, with commentators still referring to him by that nickname and fans still chanting "Y2J" in the arenas for the duration of all his WWE runs even into TheNew10s, even though the Y2K phenomenon is now nothing more than a small footnote in history.

* BrokenPedestal: Wrestling/AdamCole used to be a huge fan of Chris Jericho, and cites him as one of his largest inspirations for his entire image. However, after Jericho forced him to watch The Outcasts brutally beat Britt Baker with a kendo stick, all respect Cole had for Jericho went out the window.

** Became this to Wrestling/AdamCole shortly after Cole returned to AEW in 2023, Jericho being angered defeating Jericho's protégé, Daniel Garcia, and said defeat being treated merely as something to celebrate Cole's return. As a result, Jericho had the J.A.S handcuff him to the ring and [[ForcedToWatch force him to watch]] The Outcasts brutally beat Cole's girlfriend, Wrestling/BrittBaker, with a kendo stick. Since then, Jericho earned Cole's undying hatred.

** Jericho is still regarded as a top level star a decade later during his AEW run, even when he's into his 50s. As well as being the company's inaugural World Champion, his late-2022 run as ROH Champion is considered a significant career highlight for him.
