Wrestling question: The fuck is Jericho's List?

[happyninja42]

So I'm watching the Mark Remark, littlekuriboh's wrestling recap show, which is fucking awesome btw. But, I don't watch wrestling. Apparently in the last RAW thingy, there was a big deal about some wrestler named Jericho and his "List". I know jack about it, but everyone seemed to make a big stink about it going missing, and some other wrestler saying he just doesn't care about the list.

So, what the fuck is the list? Is Jericho a heel or face? Is the list a list of people who he will "take out" or something? A list of his friends? What?

Jericho is a heel. The List (as it is appropriately a proper noun at this point) is a list of people he's put on it. Typically because they've upset him in some way, shape, or form. Or just 'cause he doesn't like them.

Basically, it's another thing he's gotten over in his current run. "It." "Stupid idiot." "Drink it in, man."

None of it really matters or means a whole lot, but fans go crazy over it all.

If you don't have 5 minutes to spare, the idea is that Chris Jericho is a heel, but he's such a dork that all his attempts at being threatening are just funny. He's got this list of people who he calls "stupid idiots," and makes a big deal out of putting anyone who does stuff he doesn't like on the list, as though it's a major threat.

This is all as dumb as it sounds, but Jericho's performance just sells it so well that it's become one of the more amusing segments on RAW week to week.

K, that's what I wanted clarification on. As the jokes that littlekuriboh was making about the List assumed I knew what it was, and it's context in the wrestling world. 95% of the time his jokes don't require that level of knowledge about the stupidity that is professional wrestling, but every now and then it does, and I get lost.

Thanks.

Chris Jericho is a one man catchphrase machine. In a matter of weeks Jericho managed to get a list over whilst WWE still can't get Roman Reigns over after three years.

You don't need to understand it, just drink it in, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

But yeah, it's another silly gimmick that Jericho has somehow got over. Fuck, he got a plant over earlier in the year. A PLANT.

I don't plan on drinking anything Jericho gives me Like I said, I don't watch wrestling, but I watch The Mark Remark, which makes fun of it. I just didn't get what the deal was about the List, as his discussion/jokes of it assumed I already knew about it.
