Arguably the company's most selfless superstar of the last decade, Chris Jericho spent the majority of his time in WWE making everyone around him look good. He didn't come back to the WWE with a "let's get me back on top" mentality. Instead, he took to nurturing the younger talent.

Even though, as we previously mentioned, it's not so much the number of losses Jericho has to rookies that makes him such a pro at this, it certainly doesn't hurt that he was willing to lose cleanly to just about anyone if it will help them get a push.

Heath Slater, Daniel Bryan, Evan Bourne, and countless other fresh faces all benefitted from scoring a clean victory over Jericho. Even though, to be fair, it's not as if Slater burned up the charts following his win, but that's not so much a slight against Jericho's influence as it is a mishandling of Slater by management.

With a roster brimming with older talent who would rather help themselves maintain their superstar status than take one for the team, it's refreshing to see Jericho consistently show everyone how it should be done.
