There are very few wrestlers today who can boast of having global experience, mainly due to the limited scope of the wrestling industry. Jericho is the last of a dying breed of world travelers who were able to ply their trade in various countries.

Chris had successful runs in both Mexico and Japan, where he gathered much-needed seasoning before moving on to the bigger stages of the North American promotions. His work in ECW helped get him noticed by WCW, which is what led to him being where he is today.

There are tons of amazing wrestlers who only found success in one region or promotion. Sometimes it’s not their fault, other times it’s because their particular style or character just didn’t appeal to certain subsets of fans. While he may not have been a gigantic superstar everywhere he wrestled, Chris Jericho enjoyed at least a moderate level of success in each ring he set foot in.
