    Jericho wasn't a draw either, he didn't sell a lot of merchandise or put butts in seats

    bret & shawn didnt do the best numbers either, they and jericho have done enough for it to not count against them as much. idk where we can even find concrete numbers for either of em anyway

    Bret and Shawn had WCW ? with their drawing power, what was Jericho's excuse since WCW was no more when he became champion

    ottb been on some ? this whole week

    let me get this straight
    we're talking about our favorite wrestlers and ? are bringing up drawing power?

    didn't business go down when they tried to make hhh the guy?
    reign of terror anyone? he drew fans AWAY from raw

    didn't business go down when they tried to make warrior the guy too? so much for drawing power

    y'all really enjoyed Andre the Giant's matches like that? I rather watch the big show wrestle in 2015

    and john cena? i dont hate dude but better than Jericho?

    all hope is lost

    Ratings naturally dropped when HHH was the guy bc Rock and Stone Cold left, when HHH was World Champ in 2000 his ratings were actually higher than Rocks.. ill try to find the source.

    ? lying to themselves if they're saying jericho wasnt one of the hottest acts on the roster before he turned heel

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbC06eQS_ww

    this dude wasnt drawing back then? with that crowd pop everytime his entrance music hit? foh

    yall dudes cant even bring up better wrestlers to help your argument

    "but,but, but andre the giant was a bigger draw. he's better than jericho"

    pathetic

    wcw had just ended that year and the invasion happened when jericho first won the title. idk if he negatively affected anything but that had to be one of wwe's higher profitable years.

    you said he could draw though. no excuses
    you saying he could draw when rock and austin was in the company with him but couldnt draw when they left?
    what does that tell you? THEY were drawing

    Oh ? people in the arena got loud for chris jericho, guess what they did it too when Daniel Bryan won the title and he's not in the running for GOAT.

    what is your criteria for goat, cuz imo other than transcending popularity jericho is well above avg in all the criterias.

    it seems like yall's criteria is match placement, and drawing power which only the promoters really know the true way to measure that.

    yall actin like jericho is canadian sheamus lol

    wouldnt it make sense for customers to cheer for the wrestlers they paid to see? let me repeat, PAID TO SEE
    wouldnt that count as drawing?
    and wouldnt that mean that wrestler had an impact on the fanbase and the industry?
    the same criteria you set for a GOAT?

    yet one of the most popular and respected wrestlers doesnt qualify as one although he matches your criteria?

    the same dude who played politics to stay at the top regardless of how much the fans grew sick of him cant be taken seriously as a "draw" imo

    because while he was "drawing", the raw brand was suffering

    Nope, the hate for triple h was so big that anyone beating him would have got that pop, including Maven, Essa Rios, Al Snow, Perry Saturn and even Dean Malenko. That crowd came to see the Rock and Steve Austin, Jericho didn't draw them there

    What did Jericho do in ring that was special or different from the guys Chi Town has ahead of him?

    but it wasnt anyone
    there's a reason why he got that spot and the rest didnt

    hell the rock got boo'd at times when he went up against jericho in 2001

    i guess everyone who paid to see the rock forgot once jericho came out

    The rest I would put ahead of Jericho, they not Goat status but I'll name them before I get to Jericho
    Kurt Angle
    Triple H
    Roddy Piper
    Dusty Rhodes
    John Cena

    Brock Lesnar
    Ricky Steamboat
    Ultimate Warrior
    Jake the Snake Roberts
    Andre The Giant

    Mr Perfect
    ? Foley
    Randy Orton
    Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

    Eddie Guerrero
    Scott Hall/Razor Ramon

    A wrestling legend isn't all about in ring aspect, if that was the case Hogan wouldn't be in anyone's top 5

    I like those guys characters, they were also good in the ring for what they were asked to do, they all had classic matches under their belt.

    Dean Malenko in ring aspect was top notch but where is he on your list, it's not only about in ring
