In the ring, Jericho’s best days are long behind him. But on the mic, he’s doing some of his best work ever. He’s proven that he can come up with the most obvious, lamest catchphrases, and yet is still able to get them over. He's no stupid idiot. So drink it in, man!

Jericho hasn’t worked a full-time, year-long schedule in years, which has likely saved his body a lot of wear-and-tear. He also credits DDP Yoga for keeping him flexible and in great shape. Whatever it is he's doing, it’s clearly working.

Y2J can still open up a show or close it out, and it won’t feel out of place. He’s one of the most versatile wrestlers on the WWE roster and continues to shake his act up into his mid-40s.

He’s let it be known that when he can’t keep up with the younger wrestlers he’ll call it a career. By the way he still goes in the ring, that could be quite some time.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
