If there was any doubt that Chris Jericho is one of the best professional wrestlers of all time, then that has surely been erased over the past year.

Jericho came into AEW as "The Painmaker", a sadist fighter that had torn people apart in New Japan. However, as he is one to do, he completely reinvented himself over the next twelve months.

Jericho beat Kenny Omega in that first AEW main event, securing himself a world championship match. At All Out, he beat Hangman Page to become the first ever AEW World Champion.

Thus began his run as "Le Champion", a comically-cocky heel with more catchphrases than you could shake a "Little Bit Of The Bubbly" at. He formed The Inner Circle, which instantly put everyone in that group over, and was instrumental in elevating performers like Scorpio Sky and Jungle Boy.

Jericho's matches have been as good as possible from a man nearing 50, but its his work outside of the ring that has really cemented him as one of the biggest reasons to tune into AEW every week.

Already a legend, Y2J has cemented his legacy in AEW and has given so much to the fledgling company.

All together now - "Thank you, Jericho!"
