Chris Jericho boasts an impressive career spanning more than twenty years. He has worked for WCW, ECW, WWE, NJPW, and AEW, amongst others, which is impressive. Being fifty years of age, Jericho is working diligently to uphold his reputation as a standout heel character and is clearly willing to help develop others around him.

Throughout his career, Jericho has worked best as a heel character. Fans will remember notable feuds with Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Kevin Owens. However, Jericho would work closely with Kenny Omega and Tetsuya Naito in excellent feuds. During his time with New Japan Pro Wrestling, fans were treated to a different aspect of Jericho's persona.

In 2019, Jericho signed with AEW, shocking some fans. His presence was felt immediately and helped bolster AEW's standing. In mere months, Jericho became the inaugural AEW Champion, defeating Adam Page. Now the leader of the Inner Circle, Jericho is helping build future stars.

Chris Jericho is perhaps the best heel character in wrestling right now and it will be interesting what direction his character will take in the near future.
