10 Wrestlers Who Could Talk You Into ANY Storyline
2. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho exudes charisma - his career in rings and stages world-wide is a testament to this. Jericho is a reliable hand in the ring and a wordsmith on the mic. He has cut promo masterpieces in every company he has wrestled for, regardless of his heel/babyface alignment. However, his WWE debut is perhaps his most iconic.
As Jericho’s “Countdown to the Millennium” timer reached zero during The Rock’s promo, Y2J welcomed the world to “Raw is Jericho”, claiming to be a hero, party host, and the most charismatic showman to enter fan’s living rooms via TV. In his diverse career he over-delivered on all three.
Jericho can talk any storyline into existence. His fierce wit allowed him to manufacture an entertaining feud with Goldberg, despite only ever getting in the ring with a little person look-a-like. In his early days of WWE, his feud with Chyna over the Intercontinental Championship was memorable despite the chemistry in the ring being merely passable. Jericho proved he could even create magic given rather banal on-paper storylines such as his tangled romance with Trish Stratus, Christian, and Lita. The guy can do it all.
