In your guys opinions where does Jericho rank all time among best wrestlers in modern history. I am constantly seeing people saying he's top 5, top 10.
It is my opinion that Jericho is a good talent but IWC has made him out to a god when he's just a solid upper-midcard.

Where would you place him in a top 100 list and why?
 
Top 10 because he is Chris Jericho.

US or in the world?
 
Hogan
Austin
Rock
Flair
HHH
HBK
Taker
Cena
Savage
Hart
Steamboat
Piper

Are the some of the names that go above him. I'm probably forgetting people, some of the older guys most likely lol so where does that put him? Top 15 or top 20 I guess.
 
I have met Chris Jericho and I know his cousin in person (I'm not trolling nor bullshitting, his cousin lives in my community in Vancouver).

But he's not top twenty. He's good on the mic as a heel and is a good in ring worker but he doesn't have the look. He became a success due to WWE booking shock value. No one expected him to go over The Rock, Stone Cold, or even Kurt Angle. And his feud with Shawn Michaels was fantastic. Other than that he hasn't done much great things.
 
Top 15 to 20, he was the greatest of the last decade, Edge being right there as well. Guys from the 90's like Austin and the Rock were beginning to wind down, and the next decade guys like Cena or Orton were just beginning.
 
To me he is one of the few guys you could give any gimmick to and they would make it work. His Y2j gimmick to his I'm the best at what I do.
The man owned them both, that's why Vince would take him back anytime Jericho would ask to comeback in my opinion.
