I'd say he's about on Kane's level, maybe a little above it. To me, WWE legends of the highest tier are Hogan and Savage, for being pop culture icons, and Austin and Rock for of course being megastars. I'm going to get shit on this, but f*** it, second tier would be guys like Triple H, Undertaker, Shawn and Bret. Cena will probably be around this tier, too. Jericho might be on this tier as well, my only hesitation being that he is often gone so long, he goes long periods without making a real impact. Still, he is definitely worthy of being an all-time great. Jericho is an all time great, thats a given... However as unpopular as this statement may be, John Cena is on the top tier with the other mega stars. The guy is much more well known than people think.

Yes, Junior. He's also a role model and our Paragon of Virtue.

yes. no Austin/rock/Hogan nor is he HBK/Bret/Taker imo. But he is worthy of headlining his own HOF class.

Oh, I didn't mean to sell John short, but his story's not over yet. He's going to be an era guy, probably, that's a given.

This is going to be a horribly unpopular comment, so be forewarned. If there was a 'dislike' button, I'm willing to bet that it will be furiously clicked by many, but... If you ignore how he has been booked, I think that Chris Jericho is higher than the Undertaker on the 'all-time greats' list. Jericho has wrestled around the world and flawlessly adapted his style to suit wherever he is. He puts on consistently good matches (I would have trouble finding a Chris Jericho match that I could confidently label as 'bad') and has been doing so for over 20 years. He's a master on the microphone and genuinely cares about elevating new talent. Every time he returns, he does it because he loves the business and does not care about winning or losing. Take someone like HBK who needs to trade wins with someone in a feud. Jericho jobs. All the time. The Undertaker has been well-protected for most of his WWE career so he comfortably goes out there, does his job, calls it a month. Someone like Chris Jericho has been given the shit end of the stick booking-wise on more occasions than I can count and yet still tries his hardest to get that awful angle over. I salute you, Chris Jericho. So much THIS.
