#5 The List of Jericho

Before the Bubbly, there was the List. The List of Jericho was a simplistic stroke of genius and once again proved that he was able to anything over. An idea devised by then WWE writer, Jimmy Jacobs, and executed to perfection by Chris Jericho.

The clipboard became synonymous with Jericho throughout 2016 as he ran around WWE, striking fear into others with the pop-inducing "You just made the list" catchphrase.

No one was safe from the List. Those unfortunate to be added to the List ranged from an unnamed cameraman for being a stupid idiot. Tom Phillips for wearing stupid suits. Aiden English for crying after a match loss and Booker T for having a Hall of Fame ring when Chris Jericho didn't.

The List became one of the most entertaining things on RAW its originality, comedy, and the nostalgia it brought to fans who remembered the List of 1004 holds in WCW.

#4 Chris Jericho goes All In

Chris Jericho shocked the world yet again with a surprise appearance and All In.

All In took place in Chicago, Illinois, on September 1st, 2018. The show was dubbed "The Biggest Independent Wrestling Show Ever" and viewed as the forerunner for AEW.

After the fantastic and first-time meeting of Kenny Omega and Pentagon Jr, the lights went out, and the crowd was abuzz with anticipation as to why. When the lights reignited, Pentagon stood across the ring from Omega, but something wasn't quite right.

Penta then hit Kenny with a Codebreaker, and then the crowd went crazy as Jericho revealed himself to the man behind the mask.

It was great for several reasons as it took their feud from one company to another, it set up their New Japan Pro Wrestling rematch, and it was once a significant surprise because they have managed to keep it under wraps from spoilers.

Fans assumed that Chris Jericho would make an appearance at the show, but it was impossible because his band Fozzy were playing a gig on the same night in Little Rock, Arkansas. But with the help of Tony Khan's private jet, Jericho was able to pull double duty and give us one of the best wrestling moments ever.

#3 A Little Bit of the Bubbly

The moment that launched a thousand memes

One of the main reasons AEW has been so successful is the creative freedom the talent are allowed to explore.

Chris Jericho had just become the first-ever AEW Champion. Ever the egotistical prima-donna, he walked through the backstage and cut one of the best improvised and off-the-cuff promos of all time.

It was pure magic and harkened back to the WCW Jericho of old. He strode past the entire AEW roster, ridiculing and berating them every step of the way.

Something straight out of Spinal Tap, he was offended by the rider that had been left for a star of his quality.

His mood changed when he saw the champagne and a viral sensation was born. Channeling another comedy classic, Dumb and Dumber, Chris Jericho spoke the now immortal words, "A Little Bit of the Bubbly."

The memes, gifs, and fan-edited videos exploded all over social media. A best-selling T-shirt, action figure playset and Jericho's own bottled bubbly followed.

So memorable was the moment that it overshadowed the title win.
