Power Ranking WWE's Top Performers For November 2016
1. Chris Jericho
Previous Ranking: 4
2016 has been a banner year for Chris Jericho, so much so that it compelled me to make the case that he's the greatest all-around performer in wrestling history, which you can read right here on WhatCulture (Mick Foley cheap pop) http://whatculture.com/wwe/9-reasons-chris-jericho-is-the-greatest-all-round-performer-in-wrestling-history.
I stand by that bold statement and everything he's done this year is evidence to back my claim. Jericho has become the standout of Raw, and next to Goldberg - who we haven't see in over a decade and is rarely around - is the most over guy on the brand and arguably the entire roster.
His work with Kevin Owens has been brilliant, and he's able to shift between villainy and comedy in a way that no one before him ever has. Take a look at the things Jericho has gotten over in 2016:
"The list"
The word "it"
The word "quiet"
Calling people "stupid idiot"
Jimmin Marvinluder
Scarves
Friendship
The gift of Jericho
Drinking things in, man
The guys from That 70s Show
A potted plant
Todd Phillips
That's an amazing compilation of true artwork, and every bit of it has been entertaining. Chris Jericho has been the best part of Raw on a weekly basis since before this summer, and he's only getting better. For a guy who many people thought should only come back periodically to put the new guys over, it speaks volumes that Jericho has become one of the biggest stars in the business.
Now drink that in, man.
