Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho is the comeback king of pro wrestling. Every time it seems like his career must surely be over, or at least winding down, he re-appears with subtle tweaks to his character and appearance.

This has allowed him to stay fresh and relevant in an ever changing, ever fickle industry. Jericho is still going strong, but how was his 2018?

Win Loss Record: Jericho only worked four dates in 2018, including a stint at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia. He has two victories and one defeat, making his grade difficult to calculate: Grade: N/A

Championships: Jericho is the current IWGP Intercontinental champion, a prestigious belt indeed. Grade: A

Industry Impact: Jericho draws a lot of attention everywhere he goes, and his innovative Rock n Wrestling rager at sea cruise has the industry buzzing in all the right ways. Grade: A+

Popularity: Jericho is a wrestling legend and is well known for his music industry contributions as well. Grade: A+

Overall Grade: B- Jericho created a lot of buzz, but his small amount of dates worked hurt his overall grade.
