Throughout his career, Chris Jericho has worked with countless wrestlers, and the truth is that he got along very well with most of them since he is characterized by being a nice and humble person. However, we all know that it is impossible to get along with everyone. Chris Jericho had his problems with some partners, with some he made peace, but there are also others that he does not love until this day.
9 Loves: Roman Reigns
During Chris Jericho's last run in WWE, he spent a lot of time with young talent and formed bonds with some of them, including Roman Reigns. On his Talk Is Jericho podcast, “Y2J” said that Reigns is a close friend.
Jericho was very supportive of Reigns during his battle against leukemia and is a huge fan of his current job as a heel. In fact, Jericho said publicly that he would love to have The Tribal Chief in All Elite Wrestling.
8 Doesn’t: Larry Zbyszko
Chris Jericho has always been a humble and respectful person, that is why he always defended his peers from insults or criticism from fans and even from other wrestlers.
In this case, WCW announcer Larry Zbyszko used to make negative comments about some wrestlers, saying they weren't good enough and even doing so in a mocking tone. Because of this, Jericho in his book referred to Zbyszko as the worst color commentator of all time, which Zbyszko obviously did not like.
It is also worth mentioning that in 2001 Chris Jericho used Zbyszko's nickname "The Living Legend," which prompted Zbyszko to sue WWE.
7 Loves: Edge
Both Chris Jericho and Edge are Canadians and that's definitely a factor that brought them closer. tThey met when they were very young, being wrestlers with a lot of potential, but of course neither of them thought that they would become icons of their country and wrestling.
Over the years they became as good friends as they are in the ring, they have gone through many things together that have strengthened their friendship.
Even though Edge was injured for a long time, they worked together on many occasions, including as a tag team.
6 Doesn’t: Ron Van Dam
Rob Van Dam was the special guest on an episode of Jay Mohr's podcast, in which he spoke about his real-life issues with Chris Jericho.

According to Van Dam, Jericho was jealous of the opportunities RVD was receiving as he thought they should be for him; therefore, Jericho was afraid that Rob Van Dam would replace him as the rising superstar at the time.
Van Dam also said that they argued many times, including once that Jericho was very mad because Van Dam made him bleed during a match, but fortunately Jericho calmed down and did not escalate.
5 Loves: The Rock
Chris Jericho and The Rock hit it off from the very beginning. They worked together many times and they delivered amazing matches during their rivalry in WWE, but in the locker room they were close friends, and they are still in touch today.
A few months ago, The Rock posted on his Instagram account a clip of one of his matches with Chris Jericho and added a message saying that Chris was one of the greatest of all time and thanked him for “the honors” and for the invaluable lessons that he taught him.
4 Doesn’t: Scott Hall
Once on his Talk Is Jericho podcast, Y2J discussed his backstage heat with Scott Hall. “Scott Hall came up to me and told me that nobody was coming to see me, get in there, do your 5-10 minutes and get out. No one wants to see you. I remember thinking, wow, what an a*****e. Why would you say that?”
According to Jericho, Hall is one of the most hated men in wrestling because he was the kind of guy who “whenever he talked you just wanted to slap him in the face.” Jericho added that Hall was such a great performer but that there is no love lost for him.
3 Loves: Samoa Joe
“I’ll tell you what man, he is just an amazing wrestler. He’s a great talker and just a hell of a guy as well, I would love to have him in AEW.” said Chris Jericho about Samoa Joe on his YouTube channel.

It's unclear how much interaction the two have had during their times in WWE, but it's clear that there's a lot of love between these two legends and if Jericho had his way, Joe would be in AEW now.
2 Doesn’t: Brock Lesnar
Once again Chris Jericho proved to be a caring person by caring for one of his peers. At SummerSlam 2016, Brock Lesnar hit Randy Orton so hard that it caused him to bleed a lot, and this did not sit well with Jericho, who confronted Lesnar in the locker room.
Enzo Amore explained that Jericho was very angry backstage because he thought Brock Lesnar had taken liberties. According to Amore, Lesnar asked Jericho “are you going to hit me or kiss me” and they were allegedly about to fight, but Vince McMahon arrived in time to cool things down.
1 Loves: Lance Storm
Jericho and Storm met in the early 1990s at the Hart Brothers Wrestling Camp in Calgary. They debuted together at Canada Wrestling Connection. Years later they formed a tag team called the Thrillseekers in Smoky Mountain Wrestling. And years later they worked together in WWE. What a great story.
Obviously, they are very good friends, practically inseparable. In fact, Jericho said that he wants to face Lance Storm in his retirement match.
