Is Chris Jericho the true GOAT of Wrestling? Let us know in the comments below!

[@keithcollins2512]

Not the GOAT but with everything he has accomplished he doesn't have to be.

[@stonetic2515]

He's the GOAT at leeching heat off of popular wrestlers.

[@demetriusb.7885]

One of the greatest

[@chrispetrelis5013]

He is definitely in the conversation. I do like the fact that he has been dominant in 4 major companies as well helping to build a company from scratch.

[@StevenR84]

No, not even than 50 Cent in 🎶 . He has better bubbles. He lost to a 🕺 at WrestleMania, got slapped at Madison Square Garden at WrestleMania and lost to Christian which is a jerk loser, never won the $ in the 🏦 invented by himself and even got beat for that rule and briefcase by his future friend and not anymore Jack Swagger then and now his real name Jake Hager, he went away from WWE and created AEW when initially said if not in another Nation and he could cause he's Canadian, not American he would have done another federation in 🇺🇸 cause he was disappointed that Vince changed idea at last cause he was planned to win the universal title int the main event of WrestleMania, I agree even that was the best story in decades of Raw but still he shouldn't have won the WCW and WWF title stealing them both in the 1st place but Kurt Angle at his 🎂. But I have to agree either that he won it a year prior beating Triple H fair and square but the count was fast?! At least he was alone and not helped by his girlfriend, his dad in law, his brother in law, That ain't fair

[@beerguy177]

honestly when jericho hangs it up netflix should give him a special he can just tell these stories 👍

[@Voysh2Voysh69]

Isn’t that, basically, his podcast? Talk Is Jericho? Lmao

[@Shaun_3114]

Netflix & Inside The Ropes collab with Jericho for a like 3hr special Jericho Live.

[@Shaun_3114]

​@@Voysh2Voysh69On the Pod he's mainly interviewing other ppl. He doesn't go into much detail. There will still be loads of stories Jericho has to tell by the time he hangs up the boots.

[@_Wade_]

Nah

[@bigmike2464]

Him be the host of a show like this

[@AniGamerNX]

It's fun hearing stories from Chris Jericho. And other Pro Wrestlers too.

[@newworldorder568]

Nowadays i prefer hearing stories than watching wrestling itself

[@mcoleman3547]

Jericho can turn anything into gold. Just think about it, a common house plant, a clipboard and pen, a bottle of liquid and lights on a jacket......

[@Romchikthelemon]

Y2J should thank U2 for the lights on a jacket.

[@AbsoluteWoo]

@@Romchikthelemon Why?

[@s0nic05]

The word "IT".

[@zakkmylde1712]

Mox might need to be the one to get the credit for Mitch.

[@pelago_]

He’s such a great storyteller, I could listen to this stuff for hours.

[@johnschreckengost2847]

The best line that night was him saying, “hey Librarian, you gonna shush me? Up yours!”

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Bit of the bubbly became part of my vernacular for a long time lol

[@ScienceDevkota]

Do anyone know that Jericho's Bubbly is made of the grapes from the great Himalayas of Nepal ?? 😂 If anyone remember that line from his promo ?? 🤔

[@stream_gene]

Jericho has one of the most tuned in wrestling minds in history along with guys like Scott Hall. Just knows how to do it, when to do it, and why!

[@noiamrich]

It's obvious that he wouldn't care about the taste of the bubbly but to openly say it on stage is wild 😭

[@jalektor9670]

I remember when Jericho said the line. Was brilliant throw away line. Amazing it stuck like it did.

[@BuPan]

Chris Jericho alluded to being a wizard at the first stadium stampede with the traffic cone

[@user-mu2mp8ll6c]

Nobody loves Jericho more than Jericho

[@itsmikebradley]

You can also say Jericho quoted Danny Devito’s Penguin from Batman Returns “touch of the bubbly my dear.”

[@darrenmcalinden4672]

My wife told me shortly after we got married that she tried her best to get a little bit of the bubbly for our wedding to surprise me but unfortunately couldn't get it shipped to Ireland. She's still a legend for trying though

[@Raikiir]

You can think about him what you want, but Jericho fuckin gets it. The modern audience, social media, marketing the right way.

[@babarazamsucks]

I found out about Sommelier because of Reggie in the WWE.

[@mrgtsx]

Jericho is the goat! I love his stories

[@johnscilleto]

Those remixes were hilarious af 😂

[@GuiOmania]

Jericho should try the Trooper its a exelent beer 🍻 !!!

[@skreekx7300]

Jericho is such a genius even when he’s doing something unintentionally

[@Londonguy1987_]

That “little bit of bubbly” t-shirt is awesome too. That’s a must own. im surprised Jericho didn’t mention that.

[@WhatInTheDeepestShadeOfFeck]

This is my favourite Jericho gimmick after the list

[@IrishMetal]

anyone else just say it to themselves when they open up a beer at home? OOOO, A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY

[@MovieEggman]

Chris Jericho is a Creative Einstein

[@wasishahriar1747]

A little bit of the Bubbly!

[@TheCaptainJupiterShow]

Jericho is a genius at getting over

[@Maggot39967]

Jericho is a genius. How do I know - he told me. Good god this dude's ego is solar system-sized.

[@babarazamsucks]

The sign thing is what Don Callis says or if they were basically trying to look like him back when he was The Jackyl in the WWE.

[@brendenwhittington9088]

People don’t bring signs because security takes them away at the door

[@toddkurzbard]

DRINK IT UP MAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN

[@chrisszyyy]

I find his stories more fascinating than when they actually happen in real life.

[@johnscilleto]

*Little bit of the bubblehhh* 😂

[@GodsGiftx7]

Gotta love how pleasures himself in front of people, he has become everything he hated from 90s wcw BROTHER!! Sad to see a legend go out like a punk

[@TheCubicleReview2]

As soon as he starts saying brother the circle will be complete.

[@smoking_skull]

MASTERCLASS on BUSSINESS by Chris Jericho: The #1 RULE of any bussiness is be the FIRST. Because if you are first you dont have to be the best but if you are not first you have to work harder to be the best and beat whoever was first. In this case Chris Jericho is also the best which made my entire comment completely futile! I am sorry you had to read all this... have a blessed day

[@aidanbagwell7879]

Jerichos reality show should’ve taken off

[@amazinghayes1]

Genius.

[@MilMaska]

Brian Last: "Against who do you think Chris Jericho's next feud is going to be ?" Jim Cornette: "Probably against carbs, and he is already losing."

[@farscape1714]

@mattm6200 Jim Cornette is more in touch that Tony Khan is.

[@stonetic2515]

@@farscape1714 His podcast also gets more viewers than Rampage or Collision.

[@ONIMOT100]

@@farscape1714 And yet he couldnt run a promotion to success no matter how hard he tried

[@TheCubicleReview2]

@@ONIMOT100 so instead AEW follows the WCW blue print. That worked out great didn't it? Book everyone into the ground. Jim failed to make mid south work in the 90s. AEW's blue print is what WCW did. Destroy a successful company through your own ignorance about wrestling. How many careers/pushes has AEW already destroyed?

[@TheCubicleReview2]

[@caterpie911]

Of course Jericho could not last without a glass of Vodka in his hand lol

[@Cobraplato]

I don’t understand why there isn’t a version of 30 rock set at a wrestling show where it’s the comedy of how silly wrestling is

[@demetriusb.7885]

The GOAT!

[@smoking_skull]

Also Y2J, Festival of Freisnship, Stupid Idiot, Jeri-Show, Come on bay-bay pin....I am sure I am missing s shit ton. but dude is a cretaive genius that can get anyhting over. I once read somewhere that Chric Jericho can wrestle a broomstick and make it look entertaining...

[@Ivantheterrible81280]

People don’t bring signs bc WWE would take or censor them.

[@dustinrhodes4793]

People quit bringing signs, cause anything funny just gets confiscated

[@TheCubicleReview2]

What does getting over mean to Jericho? 10 000 people on social media think its cool?

[@atharvawaikar9730]

That's typically what it means yes. Getting over "in the company you're working for". Dunno how you needed this to be explained to you.... Thought it would be obvious

[@nilocthecoyote]

the bubbaley needs to return! jericho is a true GOAT BETTER then CM PUNK and daniel bryan

[@TrueTrueTrain]

It got over because the marks started making dumb memes about it, he's been less over in AEW than any other part of his career.

[@TrueTrueTrain]

@mattm6200 Probably why most of them retire at that age, if you can't do it as well and nobody cares then don't bother he's just ruining his legacy but then again he's accepting unbelievably stupid 'Sunday Night Heat' storylines and for a legend he's definitely got go away heat.

[@ONIMOT100]

Shut up, mark

[@michaelmansini2307]

Did it really 'get over' ? There is only bored silence whenever Jericho appears on screen

[@caseyseason9201]

He could take a poop in the middle of the ring and it would get over in aew

[@slasherdope8065]

He certainly loved The Bubbly. At that time is when he got a little fat and was botching Lionsaults and shit

[@scottb1621]

This man adores the smell of his own farts

[@ddash96]

Literally anything gets over in aew

[@Blandalorian]

Isn’t that a good thing? The audience actively engaged and support the product?

[@ddash96]

@@Blandalorian you can see it one way or another. Im sure theres ppl out there who think its awesome but for me personally its just odd. It feels like the audience is emotionally invested in the show because wrestling has been on the decline up until recently. I watch more aew than i do any other product but theres still things on that show that make me cringe so hard.

[@Andrea-IS6IS]

Tell Jericho, that AEW would be losing a great talent if MJF leaves there. MJF is a Natural.

[@troylechampion8082]

I like Jericho but he can be kind of condescending

[@Sevenduece]

The wizard sucked

[@JACKXK]

It didn't GET OVER. It was stupid then and it is still stupid today. Him saying it was 'over' does not make it 'over'.

[@Blandalorian]

Mate what are you smoking? They sold 50,000 bottles of Sparkling Wine with Chris Jericho’s face on it because of something he said - regardless of what you might think about it, that alone means it’s over!

[@FortunateJuice]

Isn't "got over" a bit of an exaggeration?

[@UncledadBFD]

It’s literally what diverted my attention to AEW, and then in turn, loads of my friends became aware of AEW because of the bubbly line. And I hear it quoted regularly So i’m not saying myself and my friends the people of Bradford and Leeds define what is over but I’m sure our little pocket of the world and internet acknowledging en masse suggests it’s pretty fucking over

[@chrisszyyy]

In Jericho's stories, everything he does go over. Remember when he lost to jobber, well we knew all about it because he wont stop talking about it.

[@venger]

Yeah, because selling over 50k bottles of 'bubbly', being the highest selling shirt at the time and breaking the fastest selling shirt in 24 hours record is a mark of not being over.

[@AbsoluteWoo]

Boo Jericho bad, Jericho loves himself, Jericho awful. That's what I am supposed to say isn't it?

[@paynexkiller]

As great as that moment was, Jericho just looks like complete shit at that point in time. God I wish he looked the way he looked now during that run.

[@user-qc6mf9ox2z]

so he not suppose to age then are you dumb or something

[@ReptilianBoomer]

Jericho in AEW has been simply boring, He's only over due to catchphrases and boring stables, This man went from being cutting amazing promos like the HBK feud and Having a personal rivalry with Owens"which creative ruined" to noe simply having never ending mediocre feuds and stupid catchphrases, The only time i enjoyed him in AEW Was the feud with MJF aside from that he's been mediocre. The ego he has has definitely made me dislike him even more when he was my Favorite wrestler in the industry

[@pedroc.b.3874]

My guy, Chris Jericho is 52, and what initially got him over were his mic skills. You can't expect him to do triple backflips got your entertainment.

[@ReptilianBoomer]

@@pedroc.b.3874 Not expecting him to anything of the sort, Just need actual good feuds with amazing promos like he used too, Now he's lazy and pretty much a catchphrase machine with no substance, At least his past catchphrases had good promos and feuds to carry them

[@user-qc6mf9ox2z]

shut up Chris has ben sooo good in aew wat you talking yea hes older but he can still entertain and the factions arent pointless we like the catchphrases and personality wat younger wrestlers are lacking these days wrestling fans ever satisfied you must have a boring life

Stealing lines from movies isn’t really improve
