411MANIA | Steve Austin Says Jericho Is An All Time Great, Calls The Booking of The Wyatts a Travesty, More

“Chris at 45 [years of age] is not who he was even five years ago and the guy’s going to go down in the [WWE] Hall of Fame and he’s going to be one of the greatest of all time, but, obviously, he can’t work like he used to work. But I mean that with respect. He has probably lost a step. He is 45. I couldn’t do what this guy’s doing. So, now that we have that out of the way, but here’s one of the things. He can’t do what he used to do physically in the ring, but Chris has always been so smart about the way he builds his matches to the crescendo. That’s what he always does. That has been one of his hallmarks. He knows when to put those big hope spots in there, or almost gets the Walls [of Jericho], or almost this [or] almost that.”

Hes gonna retire soon :mjcry:

Still doesn't mean he's going home to see his children though. :lolbron:

Seriously though, SCSA is right as usual. It's just the last few years we want him to go home sometime. Once he retires from pro-wrestling, he should definitely be in the HOF immediately. I think it's overdue really. :yeshrug:

When you consider his durability, longevity, in-ring work, promo ability, ability to keep his character fresh and entertaining (at least while he was a full-time performer) and his relative lack of politicking and status as a company guy who "takes one for the team" Jericho is definitely an all-time great. It's just unfortunate that his kids had to pay the price for him to achieve that status :yeshrug:

I don't disagree with what Austin said in terms of ringwork.

Personality-wise, though, Jericho seems stuck in the 90s in a lot of ways. Stale. And I think his recent runs have tarnished his career a little bit.

I'm hoping the program with Styles rejuvenates him, and it might.
