Jericho easy..

as Jericho had to stand out to get notice in stampede of all places.
not to mention make it through the dungeon.
that I am not sure angle would have done as well.
if not shot put into the wwe system. Then immediately getting where he got.
plus, angle came along. In that sweet spot beginning change of the eventual guard. That would eventually lead aj styles to being the goat.
so he had the benefit of learning the daniels-styles evolution in psychology template. That would eventually combined with aj styles brain trust and innovation from numerous development stops. Would create the realm in which angle further solidified whom he is outside of the confines of the wwe smash mouth me style. Yet in that,...angle still falls behind Jericho. Actually being a member of the guys who created the way. For eventually what would become the high quality work rate and ability to ramp up to any level of comp on the fly. That angle is known legendarily for.

yet in that Jericho is dominant.
as Jericho is a lenchpin in the tale. That made the mythos to whom angle is a worker. As the workrate and style angle is known for. Is directly derived from the pedigree and resulting work that Jericho innovated in tags and singles early on.


as angle can never be if there is no Jericho, period.

as the entire braintrust to ramp angle. Is inherently as much Jericho'a.
as it is benoit/stampede in angel's matrix.
that is regarded as high quality as a foundation.
to whom, angle is.
as far as being a high quality worker in trade.

Olympic Hero Kurt vs Canadian Heel Bret would’ve been :wow:

The universe would’ve had its GOAT match of all time :wow:


Benoit was light years better than bret.

so not sure how much more better angle could make a match with bret be more than benoit did.
Benoit maybe a touchy subject. Yet if we rating Jericho and angle.
then outside of aj styles. Benoit is the benchmark lenchpin in this discussion. When comparing angle and Jericho.

as real talk,...wwe bias. Is the only reason why angle supercedes Jericho by marks general ignorance.

Imagine if Kurt hadn’t blow out his...everything and was as healthy as Jericho is right now showing up in AEW

:ohhh:



This is also why Jericho so better.


as most of the innovation angle is perceived to have done and gotten injured.
Jericho had already done and walked away unscathed.
like a decade before hand as well.
in a situation way before the wwe started to perform edgy spots.
with no safety wherewithal.
nor liability concerns in place as well.
Jericho was performing these spots and not getting mortally injured or injured st all.
plus Jericho keeps a log of every match in handwritten print. So he has surveyed and reviewed more matches to not get injured on purpose as a professional. Plus posts them publically or used to. So the public can see his track record as well.. Incomparison to angle being injured. So bad that he became impaired and a danger to himself glibally for his whole career. A career that is sadly nowhere near.
the longer safer higher quality worker in jericho.

Kurt Angle is a spot wrestler and Benoit wannabe. So he's massively overrated in the ring. Alot of the stuff he does doesnt even make sense..that moonsault spot and going for the anklelock without focusing on the leg all match. Just odd.

Yeah.... Jericho would never do a moonsault spot , like off the middle rope every match..... Or a weakily applied modified Boston crab submission move that doesn't even look like it hurts ....:comeon:

I know the lion tamer looked good but if WWE made him stop using it then he should of went away from the move completely bc the walls of Jericho looked real bad. My main point though is you knocked angle for not working the leg but rarely if ever did Jericho work the back before he applied this
