Chris Jericho has been working on the mic for decades now and is regarded as one of the best speakers in the history of wrestling. His skills in front of live audiences are unparalleled and can solely decide demographic ratings as was proof during his infamous ‘Demo God’ promo.

However, ‘The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n Rolla’ is of the opinion that there is someone better than him on the mic when it comes down to choosing the best, and his pick came as no surprise.

“Probably The Rock,” said Jericho in an interview on Hollywood Raw. This was part of a rapid-fire question round so Y2J didn’t really have time to elucidate on that answer. 

Although, the name ‘The Rock’ has enough respect on it for fans to deduce why Jericho made that choice. It was, however, a coin toss since one would expect him to choose himself. 

The Rock delivered some of the best promos in WWE history

The Rock was one of the biggest performers in the Attitude Era. His work on the microphone defined WWE in such a way that it would never be the same again, yet linger with memories of ‘The Brahma Bull’.

Chris Jericho thinks Kane is the ‘smelliest’ wrestler

In the interview, Chris Jericho also named the ‘smelliest’ wrestler in his opinion, which was none other than Kane!

“I don’t know I remember Kane’s glove always just smelled like really sweaty and he used to put Febreze on it so it kind of like smelled like putting a cologne on a corpse,” joked Jericho. 

If Kane’s glove smelled bad, imagine Mick Foley’s Mr.Socko.
