During a recent interview with “The Rich Eisen Show”, former WWE Superstar and current All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Superstar Chris Jericho revealed how he came up with his ring name. He said,
“I was gonna call myself, ‘Jack Action’. Just – Jack Action. First name: Jack, last name: Action. I thought it was going to make me a million dollars, and then I told somebody that and they’re like, ‘You can’t be Jack Action, that’s stupid.’ And I’m like, ‘Of course it’s stupid! I would never do that.’ ‘What’s your name?’ And I was, like, uh, and I saw the Helloween album and I said, ‘Chris Jericho!’ There ya go. You could be talking to Jack Action if things had gone differently.”
