#3 Chris Jericho - 49
Chris Jericho is one of the greatest of all time and has proven that to be true with his recent runs in both NJPW and AEW. A smart choice for the first title holder in the new company, Jericho has the name recognition, character ability, and mainstream appeal to attract eyes to any wrestling promotion. Oh, and he just turned 49 before his big match with Cody at Full Gear.

'Le Champion' is also a podcast host, the lead singer of a metal band (Fozzy), a bestselling author, and a hilarious character when he wants to be. Jericho can also be dead serious, as he has proven during his feuds in NJPW. His runs in both NJPW and AEW occurred while he was over the age of 45. That's just insane considering he started his pro career in the early 1990s.

While Jericho doesn't look the same as he did 10 years ago (none of us do), he's added a new move (the Judas Effect) to his repertoire of signature staples like the Codebreaker, Lionsault, and the Walls of Jericho. The fact that Jericho has been able to adapt with the times, stay relevant, and stay atop the business is testament to his overall ability and genius. If you aren't a fan of his, that's fine because he'll just cut a promo to win you over.
