They say wine tastes better as it ages, meaning the older the wine, the better it's taste and this adage fits the career of Chris Jericho better than anyone else. The reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion has been reinvented himself time and te again with great with great success. From having one of the best debuts in wrestling in the year 1999 to winning the IWGP Intercontinental Champion just a month ago, Y2J has truly proven that age is just a number.

Equally effective as both a heel and a babyface, Jericho is a pioneer of changing with times and offering something new to the fans everytime he steps back in the ring. His multiple incarnations within the WWE is a testament to the immense talent and passion that the Canadian has. He has such a grip over his audience that he got the words like 'It', 'Stupid Idiot' and even a ridiculous thing like a list over.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

While other superstars ride off into the sunset when they turn 40, Jericho seems more hungry than ever and is having some of the best matches of his career in his late 40's. The Gift of Jericho just keeps on giving and we hope that Y2J continues to entertain and enthrall audiences all across the globe in days to come.
