#4 Chris Jericho's swan song

Chris Jericho has been a fixture of the pro wrestling world for over twenty-five years. After getting his start in Japan, he was brought into WCW on a recommendation from Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero, who had worked with him overseas.

Chris Jericho's career in WCW is a great example of wasted talent. Even though Jericho's segments and matches were some of the most entertaining on Monday Nitro, he never got further than being a Cruiserweight Champion.

Jericho made his WWE debut in appropriately splashy fashion, with a "Countdown to the Millennium" clock shown on Raw for months before his debut. Chris Jericho would go on to be one of the most decorated WWE wrestlers of all time, taking frequent sabbaticals to heal his body and keep his mind fresh for the business. Each time Jericho made a return, he subtly tweaked his character.

Many fans figured that Jericho's last match would be in WWE, but then he made the astonishing decision to wrestle for AEW instead. Jericho is aging and has possibly burnt bridges with WWE.

This means that Chris Jericho's run with AEW is likely to be his last in the pro wrestling industry, and many fans are looking forward to seeing how Jericho will continue to make his final years in the pro wrestling business even more memorable than what has come before.
