This was a much tougher choice than I'd originally thought.
Brock had his fair share of awesome matches, and was surprisingly versatile for a guy who you'd think would just be your typical 'big guy' wrestler. I mean, anyone that size who can bust out a Shooting Star is impressive in that respect.
On the other hand, Jericho (overall, mind you, not just now) has been in some of the best matches of all time, and could make sub-par workers look decent at worst. He had a great style that was compatible with just about anyone, and even today when he's all rusty, he's still above average, whereas Brock has just fallen apart.
What it really comes down to, then, is on the mic and backstage. Jericho is/was one of the absolute best promos in the business, easily on par with guys like Rock and Foley. Brock....wasn't. Jericho's known for being a consumate professional (barring the time he beat the shit out of Goldberg), whereas Brock's got a reputation for being a whiney prima dona.
Not a particularly easy choice just going with in-ring ability, but as the overall performer, Jericho outclasses Brock.
