Where is Chris Jericho on your list of all time greats? Let us know in the comments below!

[@sthembisomadonsela8269]

Somewhere in the top 5. This, here, is a ring general with a high ring IQ, as high as Bret Hart. One of the safest legends that can still go on and pull a classic.

[@pinkribbonskies5731]

Somewhere between top 20-30

[@Appetite4Rose]

Top 50, there's so many greats who laid the way for these guys to come along

[@melvinhhcp3615]

Top 15-20

[@SlightlyTired]

3 really shiny nickels

[@GuitarxWolf]

This story makes me realize how much Vince liked Eddie Guerrero, when he won the belt he had all the wrestlers greet him at the back.

​@bradlee3109 I mean wouldn't you talk about it alot? He beat Stone cold and the rock in the same night. No one else has done that lol

[@Jaems_Scott]

I also noticed around this time, Jericho started belittling his rivals by calling them "Junior!" in his promos, LoL!!

[@mcallistermuseum2]

😂😂😂

[@WilDBeestMF]

He was doing that way back in WCW

[@DG18RB]

I remember being shocked he beat out the likes of Rock, Austin, Triple H, Shawn, Taker to become the first ever. Understanding how things work now, it makes sense. He's the only one who needed that push at the time

[@joemendoza2292]

HHH was still out with his leg injury I believe. Otherwise you know he would have demanded Stephanie made it him.

Tbh I didn't watch the PPV for the Undisputed Championshp and when I saw the result on the next Raw Show, I was pretty surprised that Jericho had won it

[@MR.__G]

Same here.. I couldn’t believe it as a 10 year old

[@comeatmebr0o]

I was shocked, especially with who he beat

[@Kfm7]

I love Jericho , he has all the tools . The look the charisma. The mic skills and ca wrestle . Many greats excel at a couple of these but Chris has it all .

Its so weird to see him talk as a "WWE guy" now all these later. He talks so much nicer about everything.

[@ohlord3650]

“The first undisputed champ in WW history.” His “E” has always been silent.

[@tjjordan4207]

At the time it was still the WWF, it wasn’t until Spring of 2002 that the company was forced to rebrand.

I remember when I won concerts tickets to Fozzy winning a wrestling trivia at WWE New York, I was the sole person to win the trivia ten weeks straight, Shelton Benjamin called me Mr. W restling Trivia as the waiter there that day and said he would be on Raw someday

[@ryanpay3235]

I'll never look at the Hilton in Anaheim the same way again

[@Geektoid]

I kind of miss Jericho's short hair. His long hair he has now makes him look like he never left the Sunset Strip in 1987m partying with a Motlehy Crue cover band and doing lines in the parking lot.

[@shotzcapalot]

i see what you mean😂 it’s cool he grew it again tho

[@patrickdiaz3723]

Jericho is on my top 5 all time favorite wrestlers

[@jackhughes7637]

Why?

[@tad16]

For some reason growing up Chris Jericho was my favorite out of Jeff Hardy and RVD (my favs,not my goats) maybe it was because of the charisma,style,attires,and overall skill,now he is definitely my top 5 of all time with him being able to reinvent himself and being able still Perform at his old age

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Jericho was so cool. One of those guys that should’ve retired by now. After a year or so into his AEW run. Something just happened where he’s not cool anymore.

[@packlesswolf1]

What are you talking about? He's very cool still. He's The GOAT.

[@IAmJoeJericho]

I was at Vengeance in San Diego....I'll tell you, I parked across the street and on my way back to my car, fans and I saw Booker T as a passenger (probably rental car and unknown driver) stuck in traffic. Booker did the "hand" for us with a huge smile and then said bye. Point is, Booker was still in the arena with Vince and Chris. 😊

[@Craigers8637]

Nobody is gonna mention "Canary Kurt" lol

[@beerguy177]

I remember this story was a dominos pizza involved

[@JSmithRecords]

Once he retires, he should go on a wrestling stand up comedy tour 😂 He's has a gift. Id pay to see him do stand up

Why is 5:50 setting off my google assistant 😂

That being said I acknowledge the fact overall many people will not see eye to eye with that comment so I cherish all peoples opinions, I just wonder why some people say not even in the top 100? That automatically throws out any respect for their opinions on anything because I believe even people who can’t stand the guy, lik a lot of close personal friends that I have even have the competence of a brain to admit he’s at least in the top 20.

Greatest Wrestler of ALL Time.

[@jeste4187]

Here’s the thing: while it is a fake title and obtained by scripted means, what isn’t scripted or fake is the amount of hard work and determination that Jericho put into getting even considered for that too position. Those belts are a testament to what you put forward and what people think about you in tha business. Why not a party? Why would you? You’ve got a bunch of guys coveting that position and would knock you down to get there. The party is when you walk out into that arena in front of those 20000 fans and hear them roar their approval. Lonely at the top, yes, but it’s also got it’s awesome points, too.

It's the most normal interaction ever and Jericho makes a huge deal of it, ofc he needs to know it's your fucking room, you can rent a room at the hotel and then request someone else's card key and just go in their room without anyone double-checking because you checked in earlier? That's not how it works lol, ofc the dude needs to make sure the key you want is the one for your room
