Don't know what it is about him, but he's never clicked all the way for me. I see him as really good, probably even an all-timer, but not as high as most dudes here seem to be on him. :yeshrug:

I'm not sure if you make Austin write his top 20 he'll put Jericho in there :manny:

Jericho is certainly one of the best of his generation, but all time? He's probably top 50 :yeshrug:

Jericho is in the same category as Angle. Well-rounded throughout his career, charismatic enough to hang with, but never eclipse, the big dogs. Fell off in the late 2000s due to various factors. COULD make a big splash again given the right tools (Angle's injuries make this less likely but it COULD happen).

I think he's talented for sure and a definite HOFer, but ...

I think maybe he is just perceived as second-tier, and part of that is his own fault. He was trying to put himself on the level of Rock, Austin and HBK by dropping their names in every interview he did. Seemed a little desperate, like maybe he was trying too hard to make people believe he was one of their peers but most people saw what he was doing and never bought it.

For me, Jericho is probably at that HOF Upper Midcard talent.
  • Solid Promos, but not as Electric as Punk/Piper/Rock
  • Great Ring work
  • Solid Characters
  • Can hold World Titles, but you would never ever make him the Man.

Since Godfather, Bushwhackers are getting in, who knows who else will in the future; Zack Ryder, Erick Rowan, Ascension? :shaq2:
