WWE: 10 Reasons Chris Jericho Will Always Be The Best In The World At What He Does
5. 'Putting Over' Young Stars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUa6sqZHcAs Yes, several stars do this but its almost as if Jericho makes a point of finding the next big thing and working with them. Most obviously, we had his 2012 feud with CM Punk which became increasingly nasty but was always about who really was the best. Then we had a Ziggler story which also ran for several months but included a rare unheralded return at the Royal Rumble this year. Also this year we had a Fandango shock win at Wrestlemania that, for a couple of weeks at least, made Fandango the biggest crossover star the WWE had. Its not that he always loses, because he doesnt, its the fact that, when that bell rings you dont know if he might lose and, similar to the freak KO by a weaker challenger in boxing, that uncertainty makes the matches better. With the best will in the world, that uncertainty isnt in most of John Cenas matches but with Jericho, and his desire to work with young talent, the possibility of a shock defeat is always there.
