3. The 'In-Ring' Work
Some of the best wrestlers know how to tell a story in the ring as much as an author does when writing a novel. Look at Shawn Michaels, CM Punk and Bret Hart.

Also, although the 'Walls of Jericho' is great, the 'Code-Breaker' can come out of nowhere. When he comes up against another such technician, such as Michaels, it is poetry in motion. Their 2008 feud is one of the best storylines since the millennium as it was a build from another bout (Michaels versus Batista) that became an intense, bloody rivalry. Even when he lost the deciding match against The Heartbreak Kid at Unforgiven, he still left the PPV as champion after entering himself in the Championship Scramble match. It was the moment when he smashed Michaels through the Jeritron 6000 though that the next great thing happened to Jericho...
