Chris Jericho just made the list!

Oh, sorry, that's old hat and we know Jericho doesn't like to revisit prior stuff. That's why he was so keen to press forward with AEW and ditch the thought of becoming 'Y2J' again in WWE. He had a point - a nostalgia act would've played before diminishing returns. However...

...retro flavour isn't all Jericho would have to offer WWE should he ever return. He has an insanely brilliant mind for the biz, and has been able to both reinvent himself and remain relevant across multiple generations. His All Elite run is beginning to feel tired though, almost like Chris needs a new challenge.

Again, this is just one guy's opinion from the outside looking in. Jericho is likely doing terrific work behind the scenes as a locker room mentor to many, but his TV output has become less and less impressive as time has marched on.

That's coming from a big fan too, so it isn't easy to admit.
