10 Wrestling Returns That Would Improve WWE TV

3. Chris Jericho

Like wrestling's own version of David Bowie in his prime, Chris Jericho has become a master of reinvention. Capable of updating himself for a new generation, Jericho has countless tricks up his sleeve and never seems to grow old. That's fascinating when considering that his Y2J nickname is a takeoff of the 'new' millennium.

Y'know, 18 years ago.

Through feuds with Kenny Omega and Tetsuya Naito in New Japan, Jericho has shown he still has a lot left in the tank and is able to flip-flop between what's pleasing in the west to what grips wrestling fans in the east. Effortlessly switching between the comedic character he recently played in WWE and the hard-nosed one he works in Japan is proof of the man's brilliance.

WWE should always want someone with Jericho's brain in their midst. There's every chance, once he feels his time in Japan has run its course, that Y2J will come up with something new to usher in his WWE comeback. When he does, we'll be waiting with baited breath.

It's bound to be good, man, and if he wasn't killing it in NJPW we'd want him there already.
