Yep. For what it's worth, I'd have HBK right there at 11.

I'm a Jericho mark but he isn't top 10...

So you believe Undertaker is better than HBK in ring too?
Because there is NO WAY you can rate Taker high in PROMO work.
My question ia how is Taker on that list and not HBK

Great in-ring and on mic. Drew everywhere that he went, reinvented himself several times successfully, performing well into his 40's on a regular basis. Isn't hesitant to put over new talent, numerous title reigns…

Jericho would make my top 20 list for sure.

Best gimmick of all time. Very good in-ring during his prime years for a guy his size. Promo work was definitely not good, but neither was Michaels', IMO.

This brings up a good point
How important is fan consensus when we're talking about an industry where "getting over" is the main objective?

Be careful with using the word "drew."
That is something you can't give credit to a mid/upper-mid carder is DRAWING power.
Of course people go to see wrestling shows for various reasons, but when we discuss DRAWING power, that isn't for people that aren't headlining shows.
So we can't discuss JERICHO with DRAWING power

AJ Styles
Kurt Angle

So HBK doesn't make your list because Jericho (who I assume is your #10) is better than him on the mic?

DC's dedication to putting random words in all caps is impressive

Cesaro above Benoit and Eddie Guerrero?

I think they are very comparable in-ring. Jericho a better technician, HBK better with dramatics. HBK's mic work isn't even close to Jericho's though. His mic work is closer to Undertaker's than Jericho's. In MY opinion.

Are you just CHOOSING to ignore HBK;s ability to put on HUGE performances on the GRANDEST of stages?
Like he is probably the most :clutch: wrestler in WWE history
That doesn't account for anything?

I agree with B Sox
HBK was never amazing on the mic (minus the Bret and Hogan stuff, he was almost untouchable those times)
Still got him over Jericho though.

I don't know about here necessarily, but the wrestling centric places I do visit people do seem to rate him highly.

Honestly, I have never seen anyone rate HBK Highly on the mic.
He is passable. Does enough not to HURT him to the point where Chris Irvine is higher on a WWE All Time List than him.
