Top 25, between 22-25 to be exact, his peak run in the AE was good but wasn't GOATness, they never treated him as one of the permanent Top Guys and it showed in how the way he was booked in his prime, he always went back and forth between the mid card and upper card, where as others like Edge, Jeff, Punk, Angle stayed at the Main Event/Upper card once they reached it.. After the RA Era i didn't care much for him even in the fued with HBK, that fued actually annoyed me, i thought it dragged on way too long and was wasting HBKs final months instead of him doin programs with other guys... Jericho is still one of my favorites tho..

everyone you named went back and forth between the main event and midcard after winning the wwe title

jeff fueded with his matt

punk fueded with ryback, the wyatts, and shield (I think) after his 400 day title reign

edge, Jericho, and angle won tag team and midcard titles after winning their first world title

and after the Jericho and Michaels fued, Shawn went "bankrupt" and had to be JBL's bitch. naw, THAT was a waste of his last few years

Working with mid card talent for a feud here and there isn't going back and forth like how Jericho went back and forth, when Jericho went back to the mid card he was there for a year or two not a month or two like the guys i named... That's like sayin Cena went back and forth bc he held the US Title for awhile just recently, or Bret went back and forth bc he was feuding with HBK when Shawn had the IC Belt.. Not the same...

but Jericho was in main event matches and fueds every few months between 2001-2005

in his second run with the company he became world champion 3 times in two years

and the other guys you mentioned spent months in the midcard before going back to the main event, notably angle and punk

so idk what program you've been watching all these years

 
Jericho is a top guy and has been since 2000. Being a "top guy" isn't equal to being a full time main event act. Jericho is just like Angle, Benoit, Guerrero, Rey and several others that held a meaningful spot on the roster regardless of whether they were in the opening spot or the main event.
 
I don't remember Jericho in any Main Event scenes in 03-05.. Most of his career he was upper midcard/occasional Main Eventer, Jericho was the modern day Roddy Piper with more top belt success... No shame in that..
 
These are the Wrestlers you can argue being the Goat in no particular order. The GOAT list stops with them

Hogan

Bret Hart

Ric Flair

Shawn Michaels

The Undertaker

Sting

Macho Man

Steve Austin

The Rock

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

Mick Foley

Randy Orton

Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase

Eddie Guerrero

Scott Hall/Razor Ramon

Diamond Dallas Paige

Those are just the wrestlers that I've seen with my own eyes. I didn't name Bruno Samartino or Lou Thesz and Harley Race

Jericho is not a GOAT, he's no where close to it
 
what is that "the rest" list based on

cuz jericho a much better wrestler in ring than half the list and was positioned higher more consistently than damn near the other half

if its based solely on who u just like more i dont agree but ian mad at it.
 
jericho was positioned higher than steam boat and is 735243425346346 times better in ring than andre the giant. if impact the only criteria then the list might as well stop at hogan, scsa, and rock for all of us
 
"triple h"

eh...

"john cena"

eh...

"ultimate warrior"

eh...

"Andre the Giant"

All four guys were bigger draws, HHH and Cena have more memorable matches/feuds and Andre and Warrior have more impact

So the Great Khali has a world title reign is he better than Ricky Steamboat

ur saying jericho wasnt positioned high enough to be considered goat, then u said steamboat who wasnt positioned higher than jericho, so which is it?

great khali is better than no one at anything relating to wrestling.

That was relating to the people I consider to be in the running for the GOAT
