If it was anyone but Michaels, I'd probably vote Y2J.
But it is Michaels, so it's HBK. |

HBK I feel is a tad overrated but he's still better than Jericho overall so he gets my vote here.

HBK and it wasn't a very hard decision for me to make. They are both incredible in the ring and character wise, but HBK had a lot more impact on the business and is in on another level in wrestling hierarchy altogether.
Plus HBK never took time off to play music or dance with the stars. That really hurts Jericho's career in my eyes. |

This is difficult, because they're both amazing but neither really became one of my favourites. HBK is an obvious choice but only because I don't think Jericho's legacy hasn't really been fully canonised yet. Whereas HBk already has the Hall of fame career etc...
ah fuck it, I've enjoyed Jericho more. His feuds with Benoit/Mysterio/Punk and even HBK himself were awesome. Plus I've never been big on any of the clique |

Agreed...
Jericho is to me what Triple H is to James Steele. Love the guy, and everything he does. Whether it's being the best in the world at what he does, or Fozzy, who are fucking awesome, or his two autobiographies, which are two of my favourite books. His dancing with the stars stuff was fun to watch, as was his time hosting that crappy gameshow, which was crap, but I watched it anyway because it was Chris Jericho, and all the crappy movies he's been in, which were also crap, but I still watched because Y2J was in them. Jericho has gotten to where he is today, and at 40 years of age, not only is still looking fucking good, but he's still in great shape. He isn't broken down with injuries, yet, he's seen more than his fair share of five-star or dangerous matches. He's still entertaining, and still has a genuine passion for everything he does. And he never went through a phase of his career where he was an "asshole". Shawn Michaels is fucking awesome, don't get me wrong. But quite simply, Chris Jericho is "the man". |

Really tough choice but went with HBK even though Jericho is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time.
Both are great in the ring but give the small edge to HBK based on his Mania matches against Taker and with the promos but gave the edge to Jericho overall. |

I vote for Chris Jericho, because at no point in his career did I absolutely loathe him.

HBK. It's like comparing your "average hall of famer" to Gretzky or Jordan.

I like Jericho better, but had to go with HBK. He had the more prolific career.

LOL @ some of you going all like "I voted for Jericho because HBK was a douche back in the day! He even acted like that on-camera!"
Well, he was a heel (or tweener, at best). What did y'all expect him to act like? That means he did his job well. And he's arguably the best in-ring performer of all time, with pretty damn good mic skills, too. |

I still think HBK is in danger if not in this round then in the finals just because I know there are some people who are somewhat on the fence who are gonna be intent on seeing all the "HBK is obviously gonna win this thing. He's the GOAT" comments and vote against him to make it more interesting. Even if it's subconscious. People love the underdog. I'm not completely sold on an upset not happening.

this isnt even close...i love jericho but hbk all the way
this weekend i watched his summerslam 02 match with hhh..that he came back from such a serious injury and such a long layoff and still had probably one of his top 5 matches ever speaks volumes of how great he is. |

We all love Jericho, well most of us anyway, but very very few have had as many great matches on the same level as HBK. Whether he was a dick or not, he's close to being the best ever.

HBK vs Kevin Nash Would have been a totally different outcome here.

Even though I enjoyed Jericho far more than I did HBK, I can admit that HBK is the better wrestler, and in the conversation for the GOAT. Love Jericho but I still don't know how he beat Angle.

HBK, although Jericho gets +10 badass points for legit punching Michaels wife in the face.
