Jericho was part of ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) during 1995–1996. He competed with top superstars like Rob Van Dam, Taz, Sabu, Cactus Jack. He also competed with his long time friend Lance Storm.
After performing for ECW, Jericho got signed by WCW ( World Championship Wrestling ). He was under the company from 1996–1998. During two years in WCW he dominated Cruiserweight Championship division with his skills. One of his great feuds was with Dean Malenko. Both of them competed in high skill matches, mocked each other and audience love this feud. Malenko at that time was known for "The Man to know 1,000 Holds", which Jericho mocked by claiming himself as "The Man to know 1,004 Holds".

Jericho debut in WWE, made a huge impact on WWE history. He debuted on August 9, 1999 in a Raw is War episode of WWE, when The Rock was talking about Big Show in anger, Jericho entered in arena and interrupted The Rock. Jericho debuted as a "Y2J" name, regarding the "Y2K 2000" problem at that time. He proclaimed himself as "The Hero" of WWE, who came to save the industry. This made The Rock loose his temper and he mocked Jericho by his verbally talent on mic.

Championships and Achievements
Jericho is master of upsets. One of his best upsets was when he became first wrestler ever to hold both World Championships ( WCW Championship and WWE Championship ) at the same time. He defeated The Rock for WCW Championship and Steve Austin for WWE Championship. The best part is that Jericho defeated both men on the same night of WWE`s Paperview "Vengeance". He became first wrestler ever to do so and as a result became first ever Undisputed Champion in history. Jericho is a six time World Champion, one time WWE European Championship, one time WWE Hardcore Championship, five time World Tag Team Championship, two time WWE Tag Team Championship. Y2J is also a record-breaking nine time Intercontinental Champion. According to a WWE fan poll in 2013, Jericho is the greatest Intercontinental Champion ever. Jericho also holds the record of Triple Crown Champion and Grand Slam Champion as well.
