And also one more thing adding to this, when i first started watching and had zero idea of heel-face etc, Jericho was one of the guys that drew me into watching wrestling.

Gertner you were clearly an 80s baby and you clearly havent lived south of the Mason Dixon Line. A great example of what history looks like when written by the winmers. WE WILL FINISH THIS DEBATE SOON THOUGH.

Andre is the bigger legend, but Jericho is the better wrestler.
This exactly.

Jericho all day, every day, and quite an easy decision for me.

This one was closer and much tougher for me to decide. I'd much rather watch André than Jericho and I also believe André would wrestle circles around Jericho one-on-one.

Is Jericho a better Wrestler in the ring? Yep
Could you build a promotion around Jericho? Yep
Was Jericho better on the Mike? Yep

Who would you use to draw people to the show to see Jericho do his thing? Andre
There is no doubt that Jericho is better all around but the man who will be front and center on that promotional poster will be Andre and that is why i voted for him

Whoa, whoa, whoa -- Gertner is both way more reasonable and way better at trolling (when he wants to) than CyNick. I'm curious to see this ongoing debate of the north versus the south between Gerty and Destor, but Gerty has got way more credibility than CyNick. Way more.

Once the WWF went national, the South dried up. Especially by the late 80's when WCW couldn't fill a rec centre.

It's why people called wrestling "WWF" and not "wrestling". You'd NEVER find a WCW wrestler on a national talk show, national appearences etc....

André might not be better hold for hold but I do feel overall that he is superior.

Trying to draw a false comparison between being on a national talk show and success. the fed is called new york for a reason. Theyre based out of the largest market with the largest media share. This is the same reason you will see national coverage on the new york jets no matter how shit they are but not on the jags or the bucs. Larger media share. Thats all. This doesnt indicate any as glamorous stature as you'd hope it would.

Unsubstantiated metric is unsubstantiated.

It's not a false comparison. The WWF wrestlers were in the mainstream media ALOT more than the WCW/NWA guys. They were exposed to a national audience. Flair wasn't. Saturday Nights Main Event was seen on National T.V drawing a huge share. Flair wasn't.

Flair just didn't have the same audience. He was regional, WWF was national. Especially in Canada. My friends and I didn't even know who Flair was until he came to the WWF.

Them being on Carson did translate to anything meaningful. Theres a reason Vince didnt tour the south, who wouldnt draw here. Just like Hogan jumping to WCW didnt boost the gate any. They were already filling the arenas. Only thing Hogan did was let them run different areas. Because despite Vinces claims he was regional too. NE and hey did *ok* on the west coast. Tbf no one has ever done great on he west coast. But that's where he primarily drew his numbers.

I cant speak for Canada im not Canadian but i am a southerner. Hogan was nothing down here and being on NBC did change that. We watched TBS. To my knowledge NWA never made any effort to expand into CAN be WWF going into SE CAN isnt exactly a far drive, still essentially regional.

I watch wrestling for the spectacle and big angles and matches. I enjoy a great match, but great workers are a dime a dozen. Being a true draw is much rarer and has far more worth than being good in the ring.

Jericho has been very entertaining and has had some great matches, but he has never been a top guy. There is a reason he has so many IC title reigns.

His skill set has him a tier below the very top guys his whole career.

Don't see how you can justify him going over a massive star and icon of the business.

Lol this is such a stupid comment, but at work I have a collection of Pop Figures on my desk: Andre, Hogan, Flair, Savage and Piper.

The ONLY one that I get questioned on the identity of is Flair .

They did not tour the south a lot. They went into the south on occasion, just like the nwa went north from time to time. Neither did great outside of their stomping grounds.

It didnt become a national game until the nwo/austin era. The territory floods gates burst wide open in the mid to late 90s

Vince ran southern territories like the nwa ran kansas. Just enough to keep it special otherwise it wouldnt draw.

Ric Flair headlined in front 190,000 in N. Korea in the largest draw in the history of the busiess. So fuck off with "JYD was more over" bull shit.


Ric Flair is the biggest draw of all time. Period.
That doesn't count and you know it. It was a sold show in a communist dictatorship. Show up or die.

Its hardly one show. Hogan and Flair sold out arenas every time they stepped into them all things being equal it boils down to records. Flair trumps Hogan by a laughable margin.

See, using my criteria of judging things, I can use this analogy but add on to it saying:

Andre will hook them in to the show, but a guy like Chris Jericho will keep them coming back, and to me that is what matters. Jericho may not have been as big of a "draw" as Andre, but he was/is consistently more entertaining (in my opinion). Seeing Andre would then eventually run thin and you would be left with going to the show to see Jericho do his thing.
