The “List Of Jericho” has become one of the most entertaining parts of RAW each week. Chris Jericho walks around with his list and threatens to put other people on it. It doesn’t sound like a home run idea when writing it out, but it has really been embraced by the WWE Universe.
On the November 6th edition of the LAW hosted by the Fight Network, Chris Jericho revealed who came up with the “List Of Jericho”:
“So what happened was the gift of Jericho and I wish I could take credit for saying I came up with it but Jimmy Jacobs, who has become a writer in WWE, his name is Chris Scobille but his wrestler name is Jimmy Jacobs, no stranger to anybody who is a fan of Ring of Honor or any of those big independent companies. He said I’ve got this idea of the List of Jericho and you put a couple of names on it. Oh yeah, that’s a great idea and we did it”

Jericho continued, detailing the first time the “List Of Jericho” was used on WWE TV:
“Of course you do it once and it was kind of funny, that’s pretty funny, let’s do it again. So we do it again the next week, it gets a little bit of a buzz and then I go to the props truck and say can you make me big, thick list in case I want to use it to hit somebody over the head with and engrave something on. Then, they just put a red piece of paper on it that said the List of Jericho. Meanwhile, this thing is growing. Then, the one week where I said you just made the list and people cheered, it’s like holy (expletive) this is not what we expected”
