AEW's Chris Jericho Calls WWE Legend The Rock '1 of the Best Ever' In-Ring Wrestlers

All Elite Wrestling star Chris Jericho paid a huge compliment to one of his former WWE colleagues early Thursday morning.
After watching some Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson matches on YouTube, Jericho tweeted that The Rock is "one of the best ever" from an in-ring perspective:
Going down the @YouTube rabbit hole tonight and one thing is clear....he may be the biggest box office draw in Hollywood today, but my goodness, let’s not ever forget how GREAT @TheRock was in the ring. One of the best ever ...
The Rock responded by showing Jericho some love as well, calling him "one of the GOATS":
This means a lot, thank you brother for these words. You’re one of the GOATS and man the fun we had electrifying the millions around the world. What an honor. And I still owe you a receipt for that tobacco spit incident 🤢🤣 https://t.co/w9QsVaQbj2
The Rock is perhaps best known for his limitless charisma and memorable promos during his time in WWE, and there is no question that he could get the job done when the bell rang as well.
His trilogy of WrestleMania matches against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin are widely regarded as some of the best bouts to ever take place on The Grandest Stage of Them All, plus he helped create a special moment against "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 18.
The Rock also had a legendary rivalry with Mankind that resulted in several excellent matches, including their I Quit match at the 1999 Royal Rumble.
Even after leaving WWE for several years to pursue an acting career in Hollywood, The Rock managed to return and have entertaining matches against John Cena at WrestleMania 28 and 29 as well as against CM Punk at the 2013 Royal Rumble.
Jericho also has plenty of firsthand experience working with and against The Rock. In fact, The Rock was the person who Jericho interrupted when he made his WWE debut on the Aug. 9, 1999, episode of Raw.
Few have lasted longer or accomplished more in the wrestling business than Jericho, which makes him uniquely qualified to provide his opinion on who are the best to ever do it.
The Rock has long been considered an all-time great, and Jericho's endorsement only solidifies the fact that he made an indelible mark on pro wrestling.

Jericho Blasts WWE for Zombies; Flair on Daniel Bryan's Future; Hell in a Cell Rumors

Bleacher Report catches you up on the latest news from the WWE Universe.
Jericho Makes Zombie Wisecrack at WWE
Sunday night's lumberjack match between The Miz and Damien Priest was...well, it was something. In a cross-promotional event with The Army of the Dead, zombies surrounded the ring rather than WWE superstars.
As one would expect, the result was polarizing. Some thought it was fun and campy, others an embarrassment to the wrestling business.
Chris Jericho? Well, he seemed to be in the latter camp—albeit with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
Zombies...ZOMBIES? Wow that just set wrestling back 30 years.
This, of course, is an allusion to the alleged quote from a WWE official who felt AEW's Blood and Guts event "set the business back 30 years."
Jericho has tended to be candid in his thoughts on WWE programming, both good and bad, since leaving the company. If we're going to play a "who's right" battle here, Blood and Guts was basically just the WarGames event WWE puts on every year, plus some actual color.
WWE's zombies match had...literal zombies for cross-promotion for a Netflix movie. Score this one for Jericho.
Ric Flair Doesn't See Daniel Bryan Leaving WWE
Daniel Bryan may be a free agent, but it doesn't appear anyone thinks he's actually heading anywhere. From Vince McMahon to AEW talent to Ric Flair, it appears the overwhelming sentiment is Bryan will re-sign with WWE.
Flair spoke to Conrad Thompson and revealed he thinks family obligations will keep Bryan in WWE.
"I would have a very difficult time believing he would leave the WWE," Flair said. "If he does, I'd be very surprised. That whole family and everybody is tied to the WWE. I was under the impression he wanted to go home and spend more time with the kids. I don’t know what he’s gonna do. Whatever he does, I wish him the best."
Bryan has been open about wanting a less grueling schedule with his next wrestling contract, whether it be in WWE or elsewhere.
Like Flair said, though, it's overwhelmingly likely he winds up staying in WWE because the company can provide him with the best salary and potentially the strongest work environment. He's collecting checks not only from WWE but also the Total Bellas reality show, which is produced by WWE.
Being written off television would give Bryan a well-deserved break while also providing him the freedom of deciding when he wants to return.
WWE surprised fans during Sunday's WrestleMania Backlash pay-per-view by announcing Hell in the Cell would be the next event. Most expected the company to follow its traditional calendar, with Money in the Bank coming directly after Backlash.
PW Insider reported WWE made the decision within the last week to schedule Hell in the Cell for June.
The most logical conclusion here is that WWE wants to have Money in the Bank take place in July in front of fans. While that has not been announced, MITB is a fan-favorite pay-per-view, whereas Hell in the Cell can largely be held without fans.
WWE seems to be in a bit of a holding pattern regarding roster shakeups and big moves until they can get some fan reaction, so a slight calendar adjustment makes some sense.
