Has there ever been anyone as consistently good as Jericho for as long a length of time as he has? The dude has been one of the best in the world for over 2 decades now.

He's had slumps. I do love me some Jericho, but there have been periods where he has been just around. He gets credit for constantly reinventing himself, but there were really only a few modes of Jericho. There was plucky babyface and whiny heel for years. He changed it up in 2008 when he became "No Country" Jericho, but List Jericho was really just a blend between No Country and Whiny. New Japan Jericho does feel like a genuine evolution. He's an old salty bastard/brawler and I love that.

Jushin Liger has been wrestling pretty consistently and has always been up to some standard. I think he's got a good six years on Jericho. Yuji Nagata has been going pretty close to what Jericho has. The same with Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan. I mean, their level compared to Jericho is debatable, but they are definitely "very good." I'm sure there are some Mexican guys that can compete with that too. Hell, you might be able to find a great 20-year period for Jerry Lawler too.

It's an elite group, but I don't think it's quite exclusive to Jericho.

I'd argue Ric Flair pre-2003/2004.

Lacked the reinventing quality of Jericho but makes it up with arguably more quality feuds and matches over a lengthy career.

Love Jericho, but he was kinda trash in like 2005. Or whenever he was thrown in that garbage truck. Fitting at the time.

Wasn’t it Bischoff the one that got dumped in the garbage truck? Jericho got dragged/carried out when he lost his “Loser Leaves” match.

Yeah, that was him.

Yep.

I wouldn’t say Jericho was trash, but he was made to look that way. He was burnt out and nothing he did felt consequential. Very similar to Dolph Ziggler now. Just there.

Be surprised if it lasts, he's lost weight before and put on more than he lost in a matter of a few months.

He doesn’t seem to have the healthiest habbits or attitudes outside the ring. That being said, being in WWE and having a career flash before your eyes might change that.

So is Edge still the only notable person that can't hit a good spear?

Cody seems to be getting more poise, but that pescado was unnecessary.

Wrestlers will be entering from the dugout, so no RAW/SD trons, will be a unique set

I fucking hate hockey, bball, college fb, and now wrestling @ baseball fields. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

So, you're saying we should be fair to Flair?

I didn't see that coming. When he kicked off the shoes, I thought he was pulling a Ric Flair immitation.

Me too! I honest to god thought he was going to elbow drop his jacket and thought he must have forgotten who his father is.

Ala WrestleMania XIX in Seattle, The RR will also have a curved walkway to the ring.

If Finn Balor performs well against Brock at the RR, I can see him being given the Bobby Lashley match at WrestleMania for the iC Title.

Oh my god, how amazing would it be if Shane & Miz win the SmackDown Tag Titles off Sheamus & Cesaro, which leads to The Bar splitting, and Cesaro somehow securing himself a WWE Title match against Bryan at Mania? That match could be A fucking +.

No chance of it happening, but how surreal would it be? It's not like the Bryan match is going to be put in a position where it is going to be charged with drawing.

Does anyone remember how good (Antonio) Cesaro's broken fingers US Title run was?

That or Taker

BTW I think Brock/Balor will be fine. Brock's wanted to to work w/ him for a while which means Brock's probably also had ideas about the match and how to do it for a while.

I am expecting Lashley to be in a program with Kevin Owens once he returns.

I'm all for anything that sees Cesaro in a "main event" at Wrestlemania.

Been watching old Monday Night Raws from the mid 90's. They used to do this weird thing whenever they taped Raw where Vince and Lawler in post-production would talk about something that happened in the news yesterday and they'd force in into the show. Like some wrestler would be getting his ass kicked and Vince would say "Aldo Montoya is getting dominated, much like the Chicago Bears yesterday. Can you believe they lost 45-0". Lol its so awkward.

lolll

It wouldn't have the same ironic brilliance if it wasn't Vince himself doing the commentary.

Vince was a f'n maniac on commentary.

I want a good Vince on commentary compilation.....

I don't know if the world is ready for that.

123 new champion NO

what a maneuver

the boyhood dream has come true for shawn michaels

teh end.

Vince trying to act cool anytime Men on a Mission on T.V

Just tremendous

Wonder how long Iron Mike Sharpe showered after 1 minute of ring time.
