5 Reasons why Chris Jericho just might be the GOAT

#3 Longevity

Jericho has wrestled since the 1990s.

Jericho is currently 48 years old. He has been wrestling since the early 1990s when he was in his early 20s. Jericho first joined a prominent promotion in 1995 when he wrestled for Paul Heyman and ECW for a year. He must have attracted the attention of WCW officials because a year later, the Lionheart joined WCW and became the WCW Cruiserweight Champion and the WCW Television Champion at various points.

It was apparent how talented Jericho was, and after three years of feeling misused, Jericho went to NJPW for a year before signing with WWF in 1999. In that same year, he formed his band, Fozzy. Jericho would then go on to become an important part of WWE for over 15 years, winning titles left and right. Jericho was also involved in prominent storylines with several top stars: Triple H, Stone Cold, John Cena, Randy Orton, Kevin Owens, Shawn Michaels, and AJ Styles.

As we all now know, Jericho also returned to NJPW to win the Intercontinental Championship and have feuds with Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito, and Kenny Omega. That success helped the Elite and Jericho combine their work into forming AEW alongside Tony Khan. To wrestle for almost 30 years and to do it well is something that isn't done a lot in today's game. Jericho has not only wrestled for that long, but he has done it well and at the top of every promotion in which he's performed.
