Over the course of his career, The Man of A Thousand Gimmicks has been compared to the likes of David Bowie or Robin Williams for adapting his way through every era without ever losing relevance. One person he hasn't been compared to, and should be, is footballer Zlatan Ibrahimović . Like the Swede, every time we may think Jericho is done and can't possibly offer anything more to the business, he makes us eat our words with performances that belie his age.
In 2015, it wasn't a risky bet to assume that Y2J's best days were behind him. But a Best Of compilation made that year wouldn't include The List, the Alpha vs. Omega rivalry or the AEW run as Le Champion. And who knows what's yet to come before his lion heart is finally tamed.
WCW Cruiserweight Champion in the '90s, first ever WWF unified champion in 2001, WrestleMania main eventer in 2002, best heel in the world in 2009, comedy gold in 2016, first ever champion of a newly launched major promotion in 2019: Jericho's accomplishments seem more like a mix-up of a dozen wrestlers' career highlights than the doings of a single man. He's already one of the most respected and beloved wrestling personalities of all time, and his reputation is just growing by the year.
