Best Wrestler Alive Tourney 3rd Round --- Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio

[mrken12]

I feel you bruh but.....


that title coulda gone to my dawg Chris Masters. Vince dropped the bag with that one

Masters really wasn't that good. Also the Masterlock was a lame finisher.

you almost caught a neg my guy

but its friday and im on some jim bean so ill stall you out

 

[Cartier Murphy]

Rey was a lazy bum for a good stretch of his career. Jericho easy.

Jericho’s been washed for like 7 years

Character wise he’s only gotten better but for a solid stretch in the mid 10’s that dude fell off hard. It wasn’t until he started wearing a scarf that his character changed and covered up how he got literally.

 

[THE 101]

Outside of 96 & 97, I've never connected with Mysterio's work.

Never liked him in WWE.

 

[Jmare007]

Jericho is of course the more complete wrestler but I'm a stan of Rey's ring work and dude been great for 3 decades so he got my vote

 

[Bboystyle]

This is legitimately the first matchup I don't know how to vote

Gonna abstain until I see what the votes are panning out like later

This fukking cac watching wrestling

Jericho. Mic Skills and longevity separates him from Rey

mysterio was poppin before jericho and can still go today.
meanwhile, jericho can barely move.

You realize there's more to wrestling than in ring talent...right? Jericho headlined the Tokyo Dome, was the face/top star of a new wrestling company, and is still one of the most entertaining guys in the business today. Mysterio has been just another guy since like 2010-11ish. Why are we still talking about this anyway? Jericho already won this poll in a landslide

Oh, and Jericho has a 5 star match and multiple 4+ stars within the last 2.5 years. Pretty decent for a guy who can barely move (yet has a lionsault spot in every match to this day.)

the tokyo dome sells out and AEW takes off without his involvement. put jericho in a 2nd-tier promotion and watch it stay stuck in neutral.

4 & 5 star matches my ass. hes been stinking it up in AEW & NJPW these last few years. he gets away with it, because hes a nostalgic smark favorite.

jericho was NEVER a real headliner and never drew a dime.
hes a GREAT hustler tho.

Oh, you're the dude I got into this argument with months ago who refused to acknowledge facts. Jericho brought a 60%+ increase to American NJPW World subscribers and headlined a PPV that had 100k buys without any TV. He is BY FAR the biggest ratings draw on Dynamite, leading to higher increases in viewers than anyone else on the roster and has never lost a segment to NXT. All of this is public information reported in the Observer and other sources.

i remember you now. LOL.

you ignored the increased promotion of NJPW World.

and you ignored the fact that ALL-IN was basically an AEW show and they were doing those numbers already without jericho being on the bill. he hopped on the AEW bandwagon. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

of course hes not gonna lose a segment against NXT. its no secret that the biggest stat in regards to the wednesday wars, is how the oldest demo on the chart is the only age group where NXT defeats dynamite. jericho is the only wrestler on either show, who was around for the last wrestling boom, outside of dustin rhodes who's only on TV half the time and isnt wrestling as goldust.

and like i said, put jericho in MLW and lets see how much of a draw he really is.
he couldve took that impact deal, and still did whatever else he wanted to do, all while helping out one of his best friends in don callis.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Put Jericho in MLW and not only do they get that TV deal, they become the official #3 promotion behind AEW and NJPW (no order just saying).

Rounding out that top 5 that includes Impact and NWA Power

Yeah man, the NJPW increase directly correlating with Jericho's appearances both in 2018 and 2019 is just one big coincidence. Alrighty. When the facts aren't in your favor, just frame them in ridiculous assbackwards ways to deny the reality. Sound strategy


All In got a quarter of the buyrate Double Or Nothing did. Man, you hate facts don't you?

the addition of any recognizable name would definitely speed up the process on that MLW TV deal, but where is he gonna take the promotion???

i see you skipped over impact, which is now based in canada and run by one of his ace boons.

"double or nothing" also had more hype.

but let you tell it, a guy who couldnt even draw a dime under the WWE hype machine, is suddenly the reason why these other promotions are doing business. OKAY.

 

[GOAT]

theyre already on the verge of getting that deal.

Not a single fact cited. Damn, there seems to be a long term blood feud going on between you and facts. . Probably has more heat than any feud currently going on in the WWE too.
