WrestleZone Top Ten: Chris Jericho Moments

Number 8: Is he the WWE Champion or not?

April 17, 2000 WWE had a WrestleMania hangover with not much going on. What did happen was a WWE Championship match between Triple H and Chris Jericho on Raw. Jericho, making fun of Stephanie McMahon Helmsley for weeks, would get his shot at her husband. Jericho would hit a moonsault soon after new referee Earl Hebner came out, and would get the three count to win the championship. The crowd erupted like nothing before. That was it, right? Wrong, because after the commercial break, we get Triple H and Stephanie dragging Hebner back into the ring. Mike Chioda, the official referee for the match said Hebner screwed Triple H. The title was given back to The Game, Hebner was fired, and the power couple continued their reign. This gave extreme relevance to Jericho even more than before. He was the modern day Punk, a guy whom the crowd loved for being completely different than the times allowed.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
