#5 Chris Jericho
When the sun finally sets on the Hall of Fame career of Chris Jericho, professional wrestling fans of my age will look back and thank whomever they must that we were able to be party to the evolution of such a legendary performer.
Jericho will surely go down as one of the greatest of all time, and we've grown up with him. It has been said that the key to longevity in any art form is the ability to change with the times, and Jericho has proven himself to be more than adept at this.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
He has been wrestling since 1990, with his debut coming in Extreme Championship Wrestling in 1995. He quickly moved to WCW before finally ending up in the WWE, where Y2J has been ever since. That makes it almost 26 years of professional wrestling and 21 in front of a large audience.
Jericho has tweaked his persona on a number of occasions, and usually with success - and it is this willingness to try, that has set him apart from his peers.
