Le Champion impressed the WWE Universe since his initial days in the WWE, and as the most appreciated and applauded superstar, his last gimmick with the company went well with the fans. The former WWE Superstar revealed on one of his Talk is Jericho podcasts from 2015 that how his move changed names during the Attitude Era.

Chris Jericho had been a part of the wrestling scene worldwide, and when he debuted in the biggest wrestling juggernaut, his modified Boston Crab submission was called the Lion Tamer. He also had a move by his side, which was a springboard moonsault and was named Lionsault.

As Jericho reveals at an 18-minute mark, Vince didn't like the name as Ken Shamrock was associated with 'Lion's Den,' and he didn't want another name with Lion in the company. The change led to the new name for the move, and it became Walls of Jericho.

It was a good move because the Walls of Jericho also led to the theme song 'Break Down the Walls' for Y2J.
