  • The Jannetty: In Dragon Gate USA, Trent Baretta teased him over the fact Claudio Castagnoli was headlining WWE when it should have been Hero, who Baretta accuses of shooting himself in the foot for not eating salad.
  • Real Life Writes the Plot/Unperson: Chris Hero had a legitimate falling out with CHIKARA. CHIKARA suppresses discussion and speculation to the point that bringing it up at all is a bannable offense on the fan forums, and his name is autocensored on the message board as "John Kerry." note 
  • Real Song Theme Tune: Among others...
    • Ralph Cardall's "It's A Bird, It's A Plane"
    • Stone Temple Pilots' "Dead and Bloated"
    • Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out for a Hero"
    • The Kings of Wrestling (Hero and Castagnoli) used Queen's "We Are The Champions" and ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man"
    • (In JCW): The Foo Fighters' "My Hero"
    • He's protested against being given Black Sabbath's "Iron Man"
  • Romance on the Set: He's engaged to Rachael Ellering.
  • What Could Have Been
    • Of course, a HUGE example for his WWE career - and doubled considering the presence of his old KOW partner, who is wrestling on the main roster as (Antonio) Cesaro.
    • Before the The Shield was even a thing, the idea was it would be a stable between three wrestling veterans from FCW: Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and Chris Hero. There were many changes made before the stable debuted but the most relevant to this page is that Triple H vetoed hero and put in Roman Reigns.
    • Chris Jericho revealed in an interview that Hero was considered to face him on All Elite Wrestling as one of MJF's Labors of Jericho.
