Better wrestler in their primes: Chris Jericho or Kurt Angle?

[BrehWyatt]

Prime Kurt Angle was probably the best you'd ever see in a ring. As good as Jericho's career has been, this question is borderline insulting to Angle.

 

[Arcavian]

Kurt is the GOAT

 

[Slic Ric]

Am I the only person who felt Jericho was better?

 

[Amor fati]

Angle.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Angle by miles . Dude did so much to his body for the screams of thousands it's not even funny. Jericho gimmick wise held it down, but I can't think of a single match that I can easily watch from Jericho, but I can easily watch 5 Angle matches off GP.

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Kurt angle is lbs for lbs the Greatest to ever do it.

Jericho had some dry periods in his career & some underwhelming matches against wrestlers he shouldn't have had considering who he was working with.

Prime Kurt Angle is like the prototype wrestler, not to downplay Jericho but Kurt is another beast.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

Are we including mic skills in this package or just in ring technical work?

Id rather start a company around jericho because of his promo ability

 

[Peter Popoff]

Angle, hands down. Better moveset, better on mic, better overall. As much as I like AEW, it's not because of Jericho.

At what? It can't be wrestling because Angle was a machine in his prime. Jericho was superior when it came to mic skills and personality. Angle was having great matches in 2 different companies in 2 different stages of his career.

The Jericho vs Mysterio matches were excellent especially their match at The Bash 2009. Their feud provided some of the few highlights of 2009 for WWE.

 

[Mastamimd]

Angle without question.

 

[GOAT]

Longevity/reinvention goes to Jericho in a landslide. Angle gets the nod slightly in the ring. Jericho gets the nod slightly on the mic. Angle gets the nod as a star/more legit main eventer. Could go either way IMO.

 

[Mr. Negative]

breh..... it's Kurt Angle.
