2. Chris Jericho
At 46 years old, Chris Jericho is still going strong. Not born in Canada but still spending the majority of his youth in Manitoba, Y2J is currently pulling out some of his best stuff while being a member of the RAW brand. From his friendship Kevin Owens, to the “List Of Jericho”, to the “stupid idiot” angle, Jericho is about as over as anyone in the WWE right now.
But as good as Jericho is currently, and it could be the most entertaining he’s ever been, we all have to remember that Chris has been doing this at a very high level in the WWE for over 17 years. In that span, he has become one of the most successful titlists in the company’s history, compiling 25 title wins including 6 world championships. The guy is just an everything man for the WWE, carrying the company when he needs to while putting over young stars repeatedly.
One of the craziest and impressive traits about Jericho is his ability to leave, come back, and still get over with the WWE fans. He takes time out to tour with his band, Fozzy, but never forgets the WWE, and they never forget him. He’s truly a once in a lifetime talent.
Now as good as Jericho has been with a mic in his hand, he’s been equally as good between the ropes, although he has slowed a bit. He’s always been one of the best technical wrestlers in the world and now even pushing 50 he’s still getting it done. Does Y2J have one more world title run in him? Can he do enough to project himself into the number one spot of Canadian wrestlers? Only time will tell with both but one thing is clear, if this is Jericho’s final run in the WWE he might saving his best for last.
