      Agreed. Naturally funny, intelligent and amiable. Although I started watching wrestling in 1989 and was a fan of all these huge jacked up blokes who looked totally unnatural ( with a few exceptions like Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Jannetty, Hennig etc. Who were absolutely brilliant and weren’t jacked up blokes ) they had no personality really and did the same type of promo. When Chris Jericho first started in WCW and then came to the WWF, I became a fan straight away. Very perceptive and so funny!!
