Jericho was born in [[Manhasset, New York]], but was raised in [[Winnipeg, Manitoba]]. His father [[Ted Irvine]] is a former [[National Hockey League|NHL]] player. Contrary to popular belief, Chris Jericho's stage name was not inspired by the ancient city of [[Jericho]], but by a [[heavy metal music|Heavy Metal]] album bearing the title "Walls of Jericho" (which became the name of Jericho's finishing move) by the [[Germany|German]] band [[Helloween]].

====John Cena====
In 2005, Jericho turned heel once more by turning on recent Raw member and current WWE champion, John Cena. Cena retained his championship against Jericho and Christian at [[WWE Vengeance|Vengeance]] in a triple threat match. Jericho, however, continued to feud with John Cena, as the two had to be separated by police during Jericho's "Highlight Reel" on the July 4 edition of Monday Night Raw. Cena and Jericho will meet for the championship at Summerslam. On the [[July 25]], 2005 edition of RAW, Jericho and Cena were supposed to face each other in a "Battle of the Bands," pitting Jericho's band Fozzy against Cena, Trademarc, and Bumpy Knuckles. Cena and his partners performed Cena's latest single, "Bad, Bad Man," to a great reaction from the fans, but Jericho refused, thinking the fans in [[Cleveland, Ohio]] would be biased and said he'd wait to perform at Summerslam. Jericho would get the last laugh of the evening, however, when, as special guest referee, he caused Cena to lose his match against [[Carly Colon|Carlito]], setting up a WWE title match for Carlito the following week. The next Monday night Jericho was again appointed a special guest referee in Carlito's championship match. Cena retained the title against Carlito after knocking Jericho out of the ring; another referee recorded the pinfall. However, Jericho attacked Cena with a video camera, busting his head open. He then applied the Walls of Jericho while Eric Bischoff slapped Cena across the face. On August 21, Jericho finally faced Cena at SummerSlam. Cena won the match.[[Image:jerichofired.jpg|thumb|right|Eric Bischoff "fires" Jericho]] One day after losing to John Cena at the 2005 WWE [[SummerSlam]], on [[August 22nd]] edition of [[WWE Raw]], Jericho was "fired" by Eric Bischoff, after losing in a
