queen is my favorite band. they bring me the most pleasure.
That could one of those yes & no type answers since its possible for your all-time favorite to also be the greatest of all time as well depending on the circumstances.

Like as Pats fan, Tom Brady is my favorite player ever and a strong case could be made that he's also the GOAT in football.

For baseball, Ken Griffey Jr. is my favorite all-time player but I wouldn't put him as the GOAT in baseball from a non-personal perspective. Had Griffey's body not fallen apart post-Mariners career, he probably would have had a very strong case to be a potential GOAT in baseball.

i agree. my favorite is also my pick for the goat. so we circle back to jericho. you said he was the goat because he entertained you the most but you acknowledge that the metric can run parallel with being the greatest but isnt in itself what makes them the greatest.

what makes jericho the greatest thats ever lived?

Jericho is my GOAT from a personal preference but wouldn't actually put him as the GOAT for a serious discussion or answer. For something like that, he'd be more like one or two tiers below it. Like someone you'd easily consider worthy of a Hall of Fame spot but not any higher for real all-time legendary status.

Currently leaning towards Flair as my serious answer but would really need to think about it.
