5 of Chris Jericho's all-time favourite opponents as revealed by the man himself

Jericho reading from what could easily be a list of his opponents over the past 28 years

#1 Kevin Owens (Wrestlemania 33, 2017)

<p>

This is one we'll all remember, and one no-one could ever throw a flag on.

Jericho describes it as going from a 1980s David Lee Roth video to the Game of Thrones Red Wedding.

I mean, who could forget the Festival of Friendship?

Jericho calls it "the opposite" of working with Shawn Michaels.

"Not a gruesome, hate-filled battle where we were both out for blood. Just a couple of best friends beating guys up, making lists, and giving each other gifts. There was a point at which we held the top two belts on Raw and really felt like we were stealing the show every single week."

Y2J adds that Owens' strength is his ability to adapt from funny to serious and that Kevin Owens is one of the only guys who could have pulled off the turn.

A lot of people say this was the best Chris Jericho they've ever seen, from The List to buying Kevin Owens a scarf, and even bringing out Gillberg - this was full of shocks. Jericho and Owens were THE talking point of RAW every week, and probably the reason a lot of people tuned in!

"This one really had it all — a goat, a donkey, a festival, Goldberg — all the ingredients of a classic. Despite it all happening barely a year ago, I definitely regard my most recent run with Kevin Owens to be one of the best of my career."

But Jericho goes on to say that lists have no rules and adds one final person to the list...
