Jack G. King's 10 Greatest Wrestlers Of All Time

10. Chris Jericho

It was clear from the beginning that WWF were putting a lot of faith in Chris Jericho. His explosive 1999 debut segment was perhaps the greatest in the history of the promotion, cutting off The Rock (of all people) mid-sentence, and establishing Y2J as an obnoxious, insecure, brilliant force to be reckoned with.

Thankfully, the self-styled 'Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla' had more than enough ability to build on such a great start. Combining fast-paced action with an excellent technical game - a unique style honed in Japan, Mexico and ECW - Jericho shot to prominence in short order, winning the WWE Undisputed Championship just two years after his debut.

In years ahead, however, the Canadian will probably be remembered far more for his persona. More than capable of being a cocky, loveable babyface, his true greatness shines through as a bad guy. His WCW promos are the stuff of YouTube legend, from declaring his mastery of 1,004 holds (and reading them aloud) to getting lost en route to the ring, Spinal Tap style. He has also reinvented himself throughout his career, from egotistical rockstar to sinister suit, to his current "stupid idiot"-hating incarnation.

In short, Y2J is one of the best all-rounders ever. His mic work is up there with the greatest of all-time (particularly as a heel), and his enduring ability to put on great matches has cemented his status as a bonafide legend of the industry and one of my favourite wrestlers ever.
