History Wrestling / JerichoAppreciationSociety

* {{Catchphrase}}: One shared between nearly all members: "Sports entertainers ''beat'' pro wrestlers everytime."

** Ironically, Jericho himself would find himself in this position beginning in July 2023, when Wrestling/DonCallis began trying to recruit him to join his "family" alongside him and his protege, Konosuke Takeshita. This resulted in the JAS becoming ''very'' displeased with Jericho. This would ultimately result in the group's undoing, as everyone (sans Sammy) would walk out on Jericho on the 8/9/23 episode of ''Dynamite'' during a mandatory meeting.

* EvilCounterpart: To The Inner Circle, especially since this is basically Jericho rebooting the former to fully embrace his egotistical {{Heel}} persona.
* FaceHeelTurn: This is what kicked off the group's birth.

** Both factions were founded at a similar time, but while Wrestling/WilliamRegal's fight camp is focused on promoting serious wrestling, Jericho's gang desires to put sports entertainment first. This natural counterpoint, along with Jericho's ArchEnemy Eddie Kingston being close friends with Jon Moxley (not so much Bryan Danielson) and very much sharing the group's leanings, all but guaranteed BCC would be joining the former LAX in feuding against JAS.
** The JAS is also (as the name implies) a CultOfPersonality formed around Chris Jericho, while the BCC pride themselves on their devotion to the craft of wrestling, and they balance their individual aspirations against their commitment to the group.

Following weeks of Jericho's loyalty of the group being called into question due to his decades-long friendship with Wrestling/DonCallis, the group declared themselves done with Jericho and walked out on him during a mandatory meeting on the 8/9/23 episode of ''Dynamite,'' effectively disbanding the group.

* ConflictingLoyalty: Beginning in August 2022, Daniel Garcia becomes conflicted choosing between his loyalty to Chris Jericho and his respect and admiration for his hero, Wrestling/BryanDanielson.

* MakeOutKids: Sammy and Tay can't keep their hands off each other, much to the chagrin of their opponents.

** Played straight with Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo following their HeelFaceTurn, after the former betrayed MJF during a tag team match against Darby Allin and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry. Sammy in particular started to grow increasingly uncomfortable the rest of the J.A.S' underhanded tactics, leading him to butt heads with Jericho or Garcia on a few ocasions.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Daniel Garcia is noticeably less sycophantic than the other members of the group, and is one of the few who generally avoids relying on underhanded tactics to win. Despite the group's animosity with The Blackpool Combat Club, Garcia and Bryan Danielson clearly view one another as {{Worthy Opponent}}s. This consequently resulted in tension between him and Jericho, which culminated on the 9/28/22 episode of Dynamite, when he broke away from the JAS and challenged Jericho and Sammy Guevara to a tag team match against himself and Danielson. Subverted after turning on Danielson, where he becomes just as sycophantic as the other members.

** Played straight with Sammy Guevara. After forging a friendship with AEW World Champion MJF, who tried to pay Sammy Guevara to lay down for him at ''Double or Nothing'', and subsequently getting chewed out over it by Tay Melo, Sammy would betray MJF during a tag match against Darby Allin and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry [[note]]The stipulation being that if Allin and Perry win, they get added to the main event at ''Double or Nothing''[[/note]] allowing the latter team to win the match and turn the world championship match into a four-way.

* HeelFaceTurn: Finally fed up with Jericho's inability/refusal to win without cheating and patronizing treatment of him, Daniel Garcia breaks away from the JAS and aligns himself with Bryan Danielson (and by extension, the Blackpool Combat Club). Subverted on the 10/12/22 episode of Dynamite, when he turned on Danielson, revealing his true allegiance.

* TechnicianVersusPerformer: In terms of in-ring philosophies, they are the sports entertainment-orientated performers to the Blackpool Combat Club's pro-wrestling focused technicians.

** The Enforcers: 2point0

The Jericho Appreciation Society is a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable currently appearing on Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling, comprised of Wrestling/ChrisJericho (leader), [[Wrestling/JackSwagger Jake Hager]], [[Wrestling/ThreePoint0 2point0]] (Matt Menard and Angelo Parker), Daniel Garcia, Wrestling/SammyGuevara, Tay Melo, and Anna Jay.

On the 6/15/22 episode of Dynamite, Inner Circle alumni, Sammy Guevara revealed his allegiance to the JAS when he interfered in a hair vs. hair match between Jericho and Ortiz, allowing the former to get the win, with Tay Melo, then Sammy's girlfriend and now his wife, following suit not long after.[[note]]When Melo joined the stable, she was using the name Tay Conti, reflecting her former marriage to Jorge Conti. Shortly after marrying Guevara, she went back to using Melo as her ring surname. (It's actually her mother's surname. Like the [[UsefulNotes/SpanishNamingConventions Spanish-speaking world]], the Portuguese-speaking world uses dual surnames, but the two spheres order them differently. Spanish places the father's name first, while Portuguese places the father's name last.[[/note]]

On the 9/28/22 episode of Dynamite, Garcia would cut ties with the group after weeks of growing tension between him and Jericho, seemingly aligning himself with the Blackpool Combat Club....only to reveal on the 10/12/22 that he was still with the JAS.

* HypocriticalHumor: Christopher Irvine's claim that the group uses their real names, and not their stupid fake names, is this. However, Tay Melo now uses a variant of her real name, having been born Taynara Melo de Carvalho.

* OnceAnEpisode: As Jericho performs commentary on ''Rampage'', every episode has Chris Jericho nominate a wrestler competing that week to be "Sports Entertainer of the Week." [[note]]And in your case you're wondering, no, he isn't above nominating himself or the JAS from time to time.[[/note]]

** Jake Hager's, at least according to the group's entrance video, is "Hand of the King."

* HeelFaceTurn: Finally fed up with Jericho's inability/refusal to win without cheating and patronizing treatment of him, Daniel Garcia breaks away from the JAS and aligns himself with Bryan Danielson (and by extension, the Blackpool Combat Club). [[HeelFaceMole Subverted]] on the 10/12/22 episode of Dynamite, when he turned on Danielson, revealing his true allegiance.
