Ellsworth’s run with WWE lasted just two years, from 2016 to 2018. Following his release, he returned to the independent wrestling circuit.
One of James Ellsworth’s most memorable WWE moments took place on the November 14, 2016, episode of Monday Night Raw, the go-home show ahead of Survivor Series.
Chris Jericho Went Off-Script To Mock James Ellsworth
During a Raw vs. SmackDown storyline, Chris Jericho began adding SmackDown members to his famous “List of Jericho.” After addressing AJ Styles, Jericho turned his attention to Ellsworth, who was acting as the SmackDown mascot.
Jericho mocked James Ellsworth’s appearance, comparing him to a “lost child at ringside,” and memorably nicknamed him “Chin-ce McMahon,” before adding him to the list for “looking weird.”
Speaking with R3 Jonah on the Rewind Recap Relive podcast, Ellsworth revealed that Jericho went off-script during the “You Just Made The List” segment, making the moment even more memorable:
Sometimes I’ll be in like Target or Walmart and somebody [will] yell, ‘You just made the list.’ I get reminded of that moment every day of my life. I remember right before we walked out, Jericho walked up to me. He said, ‘Hey, James, I don’t know if we have time for this, but I’m going to put you on the list. So, if we go over time because I’m going to put you on the list, blame it on me, tell them it was my fault.’
I’m like, ‘What?’ Because it wasn’t in the script, for me to get put on the list, and he went out there, and it’s funny. I think it’s the most memorable list moment of all time.
