And I should leave open the possibility that he tops all of these in the coming years. You never know. I would put nothing past him. His character work is amazing. This guy has done it all and constantly reinvents himself and keeps his character fresh. Because of that he's still going strong after 26 years in the business and 20 years in the big leagues. Which is your favorite version of Jericho? Yes he's had other runs with strong work too, but these are the clear top 5 in my opinion so I won't clutter the poll with too many choices.
97-98 WCW Jericho - Mispronouncing everyone's names, Ralphus, Lion Tamer, antagonizing Goldberg, classic feud with Malenko, Cruiserweight champ, 1004 holds promo, conspiracy victim, etc.
2000-01 WWF Jericho - Ayatollah of Rock N Rolla, Y2J, constantly ripping on Stephanie, feuding with HHH, peeing in Regal's tea, frequent IC champ, Benoit matches, probably the 2nd most popular face to the Rock.
2002-03 WWE Jericho - King of the World, first title reign, Shawn Michaels feud, the Highlight Reel, Goldberg feud, true cowardly heel.
2008-2010 WWE Jericho - The best in the world at what I do, suit wearing, slow talking, gelatinous tapeworm insulting, classic HBK feud, I'm from Winnipeg you idiot, Rey Mysterio feud, picking a feud with Mickey Rourke.
2016 WWE Jericho - The Gift of Jericho, stupid idiot, the list, Aj Styles feud, Ambrose feud(he still owes Jericho money!), Kevin Owens' best friend, jack of all trades who fills any role on the show whenever needed.
