Chris Jericho

Amazing on the mic. Remember how awesome he was commentating that one time during NXT when he called Cole a jackass? And that was in the current PG era. Back when he could really cut loose it was awesome. He has to be in the top 5 ever for mic work. His in ring is also well above average. He's the first undisputed champion where, did you hear about this, he beat both SCSA and The Rock! I can't see putting him under an 8, though I'm going to think about it for a bit.

Rankings
#1 Kurt Angle - 9.53
#2 Bret Hart - 9.05
#3 Owen Hart - 8.35
#4 Chris Benoit - 8.17
#5 HHH - 7.89
#6 DDP - 7.69
#7 Kane - 7.33
#8 Rey Mysterio - 6.59
#9 MVP* - 5.95

[dhellova guy]

One of the all time greats. Slightly behind Shawn & Flair in my book.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

My all time favorite wrestler. Probably an 8 in the ring, but easily a 10 in everything else. Plus you gotta love that he hasn't been jaded by the business like so many others, and that he was able to become great without playing the backstage politics game.

10.

[Wolfpack423]

Chris Jericho is one of my all time favorites. My favorite time period for him was when he was dominating the Cruiserweight division in WCW where he was just gold. This is where I first discovered how good he was in the ring as well as I hadn't seen any of his ECW matches. I was particularly a big fan of him in 2001 as I feel that is when he hit his prime and I like his current persona. Though one thing is true, I have been a Jerichoholic since 1997.

[Spaff]

He is still brilliant but his cruiserweight stuff in WCW is my favourite time in wrestling ever.
He was just pure gold.

[MoFo]

Good at 'comedy
good at 'seriouz'
good as 'face'
good as 'heel'

9 at least

[BizarroKing]

He can talk, he can be a extremely funny face AND heel, but can also be a extremely serious heel as well.

10 all the way.

[Innovator]

10, the man is bulletproof. He lost to JTG and it didn't phase him.

[Savio]

kinda wish i gave him a 9 :/

[The Pope]

8, he's great, I just don't see him up there with Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels.

[Attitude99]

A High 9 For Me

[Rammsteinmad]

10.

All time second favourite, or joint first with Benoit seeing as Benoit's dead. Great as a heel or face, comedy or serious. Can put on a great match with anyone using any style.

All round one of the greatest of all time.

[Favre4Ever]

Jericho is one of my favorite wrestlers. I don't think there's anyone better for a young person trying to get into the business to emulate. He can do it all, and he can do it all well.

I gave him an eight for some reason. I guess it's because that some of the greats that I would give a ten like HBK and Angle are just better than him. Not his fault the competition is so good.

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, Jericho is one hell of a singer, writer, umm... he can act and can host a game show. This guy can do everything.

And he always has pretty stylish hair.

[Schlomey]

he is the first one I have voted for that I gave a ten.

(to be fair I haven't voted that often.)

[Swiss Ultimate]

He's still probably my favorite over-all.

[Schlomey]

He's still probably my favorite over-all.

:y:

[Haze]

A very high 9 for me, he is one of the best in the buisness and perhaps ever.

[My Final Heaven]

10.

*Sits down & waits for the requisite jackass to roll in & give him a 5, just for the sake of doing it / being a troll*

[Schlomey]

I doubt even a troll can deny the awesomeness that is jericho

[Schlomey]

who is that and WHY am I watching this? It is odd.

[My Final Heaven]

Nothng to do with Jericho, just the fact that that guy is "Rollin' & Trollin'" :lol:

And if you don't know who Chris-Chan is, link (http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Chris-chan) Be prepare to lose a large chunk of time, tho.

[Schlomey]

i don't care to lose any amount of time on Chris Chan.

[jskinnyg]

Don't have to ask me... I have always said there are 5 "10's" in the business... Flair, HBK, Angle, HHH & The Human Highlight Reel, Jericho!

[Jeritron]

My all time favorite wrestler. Probably a 9 in the ring, but easily a 10 in everything else. Plus you gotta love that he hasn't been jaded by the business like so many others, and that he was able to become great without playing the backstage politics game.

10.

[muffalufagus]

9.9 for me.

[Majunior]

10.

In my opinion, better than Shawn. He excels at anything he does, whether it's ring work, mic work, playing his part (funny, serious, face, heel, he does it all extremely well), has a very versatile style and can go with anyone on the roster and make them look good doing it.

He is my second favorite wrestler ever (Owen being my first) and whether he was putting himself over in the backstage chaos of WCW, ripping on Stephanie McMahon, or putting Shawn down time and again as a sadistic madman bent on destroying the back-break kid... I've loved everything he's done.

[Kane Knight]

9. Jericho is certainly one of the best.

[DrCrawford]

he is definitely one of my favorites ever. and he is the last favorite of mine to still be wrestling

[DAMN iNATOR]

Very high 9 for me. Was almost tempted enough to give him a 10, but he falls just short.

[NoTalentHack23]

Chris Jericho can play all the parts great. He can play the good guy. He can be the heel. When I'm supposed to like him, I truly do. When I'm supposed to hate him, I hate him with a passion. He plays the character really well and he's damn good on the mic too. My only wish is that he would slap a liontamer on a contestant on Downfall. That would be awesome.

[XCaliber]

I'd have to say he's about a 9 the only reason I wouldn't rank him higher is due to his whole act right now has become a little stale as of late thank goodness for his feud with Bourne it will bring him back to greatness.

[Schlomey]

9.9? Round up!

[Snowden]

10

There's nothing about him that isn't fantastic. He's a great mic worker, can play any part, is wonderful in the ring, and on top of that seems to be a genuinely great guy. Probably my favorite of all time.

[addy2hotty]

10.

Wish I could go higher.

[jskinnyg]

I'd have to say he's about a 9 the only reason I wouldn't rank him higher is due to his whole act right now has become a little stale as of late thank goodness for his feud with Bourne it will bring him back to greatness.

I do agree with this a little, but I'm sure creative is the ones making it stale because of all the heat that it generates from the fans... Jericho plays the game... He's gonna turn face again in the future, much to my dismay, but he will.... And hopefully we'll get the ridiculously funny Jericho back...

Damn autoplay...this vid is worth it.

AND THIS IS AWESOME... Thanks Volare!

[bigslimjj]

for sure in the top 5 of all time.brilliant on the mic,and even better in the ring.My first pick if i was starting a new promotion.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

High 9 for me. I think he's probably one of the best all rounders ever.

[CSL]

If I could give him an 8.5, I would. Became white hot in WCW for a while and for about a month on WWE TV, always been more than capable of slopiness in ring though and for a lot of his initial WWE run he was stale character wise (his hammy promos used to drive me mental) Since returning he's been world class however but that represents a very small portion of his overall career (and if he keeps up the same act for the next 12 months or so, that might get old too) One of the guys I definitely feel the internet overrates far too often.

I don't dislike him though, far from it. When he's 'on' (which has been more often than not over the last few years) he's one of the very best on Earth. He was 50% of my favourite match of the last 5 years or so and I am very much a fan of his. He's just not HBK (10) Flair, Hogan (cry about it children), Bret, Austin etc (9) I'd put him on that next rung, a very very capable guy that was never truly a 'superstar'. 8.

[Nicky Fives]

9.... but a couple more solid years and I would give him a 10 easily....

[jskinnyg]

Bret Hart was never close to a 10 due to the fact that his mic skills are horrible... Write that down... badass in the ring though...

[CSL]

You might have a point if his mic skills were actually horrible.

Ah High 1!!!

[jskinnyg]

Ah High 1!!!

Your gonna get along famously here!
