scarletspeed7 07/26/18 12:02:39 PM #426: | #6 - Chris Jericho Nominated by: Inviso Chris Jericho is the master of reinvention and probably the most purely creative mind in the business. Strictly from an in-ring perspective, few Superstars have entered WWE with an ability to have as many good matches against as varied a crop of workers as Jericho. Over the course of his 18 years with Vince McMahon's company, he has had the opportunity to work with everyone from The Rock to Fandango and, in the process, has delivered truly definitive matches across several eras. On top of his WWE run is a fantastic rookie plow through the cruiserweight division of WCW in a host of major feuds. Jericho comes away with an eclectic variety of iconic moments in the US alone, but when you add his current New Japan feud, you can just make a laundry list of all of the great Jericho moments. I feel the only proper way to do a Jericho write-up justice is to make a list: 1) The Man of 1,004 Holds Promo 2) The Jericho/Malenko Feud 3) Jericho Blaming the Locker Room in WCW as Part of a Conspiracy to Keep Him Down 4) Jericho Mocking Goldberg's Entrance 5) The Countdown to Jericho's WWF Debut, Probably the Singularly Greatest Debut in Wrestling History 6) Jericho and Chyna 7) Jericho's Spell in the Tag Division in 2001 8) Jericho Becoming the First Undisputed Champion 9) Jericho and Christian Feud 10) Save_Us.Y2J 11) Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels 12) Jericho vs. CM Punk 13) Jericho's Silent Promos 14) The List 15) The Festival of Friendship 16) Jericho vs. Omega 17) Jericho vs. Naito I could break down all of these individual moments, but the fact that most wrestlers are lucky to get 5 or 6 truly iconic moments or characters or feuds and Jericho sits at 17 with still no end in sight is a testament to just how truly, truly great Jericho remains until this day. A master of evolving to meet the demands of a changing crowd, Jericho is an expert in storytelling, an in-ring specialist, and a lock from my #6 spot on this list. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ...
