4. Chris Jericho. Best In-Ring Global WWE Ambassador
Sometimes it's the last guy you'd ever expect who should be the first choice for an opportunity. Chris Jericho's a strange case as an Attitude era WWE superstar in the sense that he was brought into the business as a luchador, Japanese junior heavyweight, ECW "original" and WCW cruiserweight. However, for the purposes of the "Reality Era," what made Jericho an odd fit for "Attitude" makes him the best name to assist leading WWE back to global renown. Jericho opening the show versus Neville was a fantastic choice in the fact that Jericho is a respected name brand in Japan as a wrestler, something that very few other veterans still on the WWE roster can actually say. As well, at a time wherein numerous up and coming WWE stars have spent considerable time in Japan, there's literally scads of "dream matches" he can have that bridge generations of fans and in-ring styles, too.
