Chris Jericho recently celebrated three decades in the wrestling business and those 30 years have definitely not been without controversy.
Jericho has been able to reinvent himself many times throughout the course of his career, which has allowed him to remain one of pro wrestling's biggest stars. Despite being seen as a legend, there are times throughout Jericho's career where the former World Champion has had real-life issues with fellow stars.
Throughout Jericho's time in both WWE and WCW, he had a number of backstage altercations with co-workers. Some of the biggest names in the business have crossed paths with Chris Jericho and more often than not, Y2J has been the man to come out on top.
#5 Sin Cara was reportedly bitten by Chris Jericho
During WWE's European Tour back in 2016, just months after Sin Cara's backstage altercation with Simon Gotch, the masked Superstar had an altercation with Chris Jericho.
MLW Radio reported that the two men had been involved in a backstage altercation during WWE's overseas tour in the United Kingdom. The report went on to state that Cara had knocked Jericho out cold in the showdown.
Jericho went on to deny this part of the story in a Tweet later that day, whilst also sharing a video that didn't show any visible bruising. Interestingly, whilst both men have denied parts of the story in the past, there has been no disputing the fact that an incident between the two men actually happened.
There are several rumors regarding the incident with many even alleging that Chris Jericho bit Sin Cara before the two men were separated whilst on WWE's tour bus.
Sin Cara has been known to have altercations with WWE stars in the past with the likes of Sheamus and Simon Gotch both crossing the former Champion.
#4 Scott Hall was confronted by Chris Jericho
Whilst this altercation actually took place during his time in WCW, it was still one worthy of being included in the list.
Scott Hall was once seen as one of the biggest stars in the business, but whilst he was seen as a top star in WCW, Hall gained a reputation for bullying talent that was on a lower level.
After apparently urinating in Chris Benoit's wrestling boots and making threats to get Y2J's push in WCW halted, Chris Jericho was ready to confront Scott Hall despite him being seen as a much bigger star.
“Scott Hall came up to me and told me that nobody was coming to see me, get in there, do your 5-10 minutes and get out. No one wants to see you. I remember thinking, wow, what an a**h****. Why would you say that? I told Chris Benoit that, and Benoit was already furious with Scott Hall after Hall p***** on Chris Benoit’s cowboy boots by the urinals. He just leaned over while they were both pi**ing and he leaned to the side and pi**ed on his boots.”
Chris Jericho was just an up-and-coming talent at the time, but after Hall made it clear that no one was in that arena to see him, he confronted Hall backstage aggressively and even squared up to the former star. The current AEW star made it clear that he wasn't to speak to him like that again, and interestingly it was Hall who backed down from Chris Jericho.
The former World Champion needed to use colorful language to get his point across but made it clear to the man known as Razor Ramon that night that he wasn't a pushover.
#3 Mickey Rourke went searching for Chris Jericho
Mickey Rourke was originally set to face off against Chris Jericho back at WrestleMania 25. The two men even set up a match with a back and forth in the press that saw the Hollywood star lay down the challenge to Jericho.
Despite the challenge already being put out there, Rourke was pulled from the match because his people were not happy with the idea. This later led to Chris Jericho and Rourke appearing on Larry King Live where Jericho went on a rant about the actor whilst obviously in character.
Rourke obviously didn't understand that it was all in character and turned up at a WWE arena with three bodyguards looking to send Jericho a message. The former World Champion then explained that it was all part of the show and was able to calmly diffuse the situation.
Whilst the two men were unable to work a match as part of WWE's biggest show of the year, they were able to create an angle where Rourke knocked Jericho out.
#2 Goldberg was confronted by Chris Jericho on his first episode of RAW
Chris Jericho was just a Cruiserweight from WCW when Goldberg came over to Monday Night RAW. The first time he saw Jericho he reportedly slapped him on the back and tried to act playful, which was when Chris Jericho decided it was time to speak up.
It was Goldberg's first episode of RAW and Jericho found out from someone backstage that Goldberg had been bad-mouthing him. Jericho decided it was time to confront the former WCW star and after the debate between the two men turned ugly, Goldberg grabbed Chris Jericho by the throat.
As reported by Sportskeeda, the scuffle turned nasty and ended with Jericho then taking Goldberg into a front face lock.
"I still had the idea that he was going to morph into a savage animal, throw me off, and draw and quarter me. But he never did. It seemed that the Goldschlager was all smoke and mirrors.
"We scuffled back into the dressing room and were finally broken up by Arn Anderson, Terry Taylor, Hurricane, Christian, and Booker T. Nash Mantis continued to sit in his chair in the corner of the room watching the festivities."
Following the fight, Jericho faced Goldberg and told him that he could do this every week or they could shake hands and settle their issues, which led to Goldberg shaking his hand.
#1 Brock Lesnar was part of an altercation with Chris Jericho back in 2016
Brock Lesnar was booked to defeat Randy Orton in the main event of SummerSlam back in 2016, but it wasn't as well-known backstage that the win would be by TKO. Elbows to the head of Orton busted the star open and left him in a pool of his own blood to close out the pay-per-view.
Backstage, Chris Jericho was watching the show and asked officials if Lesnar was working a shoot on Orton or if this was the plan since Orton legitimately suffered a concussion that night.
When he wasn't told that it was a work by producer Michael Hayes, Chris Jericho was freely calling the finish to the match "bulls**t" whilst in gorilla position which annoyed Lesnar as he came through the curtain.
The Beast told Jericho that it was none of his business but Y2J continued to ask questions which resulted in Lesnar shoving him out of the way. Jericho then went face to face with the Champion which was when Lesnar kissed him on the forehead and said "kiss me p***y" which then saw Y2J prepare to fight Lesnar before the two men were split up.
Vince McMahon and Triple H were the ones who broke up the fight with the two men ushering Lesnar away.
