Chris Jericho has built a resume worthy of a WWE Hall of Fame induction. As the first-ever WWE Undisputed Champion, a nine-time WWE Intercontinental Champion, and a multi-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion, his legacy in the company is undeniable.
Throughout his storied WWE career, Jericho has been involved in legendary rivalries with Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Steve Austin, Triple H, CM Punk, Kevin Owens, and many others. He is also a multi-time Tag Team Champion, having held gold alongside partners such as The Rock, Edge, Big Show, and Chris Benoit.
Jericho is one of the few wrestlers to have held major titles across WWE, WCW, and AEW. He headlined WrestleMania X8, defending the Undisputed Championship against Triple H. His ability to reinvent himself over the years has solidified his status as one of WWE’s all-time greats.
With WWE announcing new Hall of Fame inductees each year ahead of WrestleMania, the question remains—if offered an induction, would Jericho accept the honor? Speaking to The Toronto Sun, Jericho addressed the idea:
\"I\'m not one of those guys who cares about the Hall of Fame because I don\'t think it\'s really real anyway. In some ways, it\'s like, \'Eh, whatever.\' In other ways, I want to pull a Sex Pistols and just refuse to show up. Send a letter saying, \'Do not mention my name,\' like Axl Rose did. What a great wrestling thing to do. It doesn\'t matter to me, it really doesn\'t. It\'s great that guys go in there and I\'m glad they get a chance to, but I\'m already a Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame is up here [points to head]. It\'s more for the fans. At this point in time, I could get put in the Hall of Fame and maybe get booed out of the building. We\'ll see what happens. For right here, right now, I\'m enjoying what I\'m still doing and I definitely wouldn\'t go in the Hall of Fame if I\'m still actively performing in the ring. We\'ll see where it goes.
For right now, I feel good, I\'m doing great work, and when I feel it\'s time to hang up the boots, I will do so. Until then, I\'m enjoying being part of the business, as I always have for the last 34 years.\"
Currently, Jericho is the reigning ROH World Champion and remains an active competitor in AEW.
