Catching up on last night's Raw, this Jeronnaissance caught many of us by surprise. Jericho has been on fire with his promos since later summer that you could argue that he's the most over guy in the company.

As someone that always enjoyed but never LOVED Chris, This run solidifies Jericho's spot as an all-time great, he has transcended eras better than anyone I've ever seen, without having to rely chiefly on nostalgia (a la Hoegan). We know he's slower in the ring, but this guy made a stupid-ass "list" more than a hot line, it's a hot song.

Honestly I think he's had one of the most effective years of his career - might just be a personal taste thing, but he's never quite been over with me... but the entire List and Best Friends thing has had me rolling for months. So simple, but so well done. He can still go just well enough in the ring too.

I've become a fan.:ehh:

It's impressive. He's 47 and doing this? That's legit. It's what I always knew would become of Eddie if he was alive..he was too good and too unique to fall off. Most over guy? Not more over than Bryan..the Bryan buzz trends on twitter..that stuff with Miz got BIGGER than anyone thought and it maintains a hot button to get Miz instant heat right now. But on Raw? Jericho is definitely a stand out alongside Rusev/Lana, Cesaro, and Sasha/Charlotte.

First, he was a certified legend and goat since his "TROGGLODITE, SYCHOPHANT" suited up whc run...

Chris Jericho is truly one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. When it's time to review him I am giving him a straight up ten across the board.

This run is great because he just gets better at working the crowd. Truly an elite at that...only rock Hogan and Austin EVER are better at working a crowd in a desired direction than Jericho. Kevin owens is going to be so much better because of working with Jericho.

In WWE only Cena, Stephanie, vince, and Shane are more over.

I like his run now since he came back this time, probably my favourite WWE run from him overall.

can someone explain this thing with jericho and his kids

Jericho always has something going on in his career. Whether it's wrestling, his band, his podcast, promoting a book, etc. He even randomly hosted a game show a few years ago. People joked that he was staying busy to keep away from his family.

This year is amazing, because he seemed completely done in the last few years. Boring on the mic, stale, too desparate to look young and cool.

He literally embraced the fact he is out of touch older guy and hit a fukking HR. One of the best years in his career and we need that Jericho KO match.

He's completely over-shadowed KO
