This is why I think Jericho probably needs to in the discussion for the best of all time.
Guys like Austin, Rock, and Hogan...their stuff just didn't age as well. Hogan's "wholesome" act wouldn't really work today (his NWO probably would I guess), and Rock and Austin in the attitude era wouldn't have played in the 80's and a lot of it would be politically incorrect today.
But Jericho has continually re-invented himself, and I feel like his stuff also translates well across eras. I think you could take Cruiserweight Jericho from WCW and plop him in WWE or AEW today and he would get over just as easily as he did then.
