Before I get into it, I became a wrestling fan starting in 1996 with WCW. In the spring/summer Jericho was featured regularly with that company and I have seen his career up until this point.
Since 96 Jericho has been:
a lower-mid card superface
a tempermental heel
a prissy prima donna
the face of the new millenium
co-intercontinental champion with Chyna
the first undisputed champion
pinned by John Cena in Cena's PPV debut
retired by John Cena
the guy who was to save us from Randy Orton
the new "legend killer"
So I ask is this the best Jericho has been in his career?
Other than the millenium and the first undisputed champion I don't think he has been anything other than a humerous backstage interview. even when I did like him I never thought of him as a top guy. He IS a top guy now without a doubt. His mic work is outstanding and his matches have been PPV quality for the last 2 weeks. Now he is to be involved in the first grudge match that has meant anything in a while. And against Mysterio which has to be their first one on one match in some time. I can't wait to see where he and Edge end as these two are on an unavoidable collision course.
Jericho is the only good thing in wrestling right now.
