Making The Case

Chris Jericho, in my mind, is the best Professional Wrestler to ever step inside of the sacred, squared circle. His combination of absolute elite, in-ring skill, realistic in-ring storytelling, unmatched charisma inside and outside of the ring and willingness to do what’s right for the betterment of the company all make him the GOAT. You hear about some of the other contenders for GOAT, (Hogan, Cena, Goldberg, etc) against putting over certain talent in certain situations and that’s never been even rumored in Jericho’s 30-year Professional career. Combine that with the longevity he’s been able to consistently produce and his resume, it’s hard to argue that he’s the absolute best in EVERY aspect of Professional Wrestling.
