Better career: Chris Jericho vs Kurt Angle

[Thrawn33]

But Chris, much more longevity, the reinventions, mic skills that are almost untouched, while being great in the ring really makes him stand out.

Again agree Jericho had the better career but disagree on the bolded part.

Kurt was very good playing the whole range of face and heel personas, and could nail dramatic, and comedic at will.

 

[GoldenAzazel]

Jericho for sure and I'm a big fan of Angle. Both are in my top 10 favourites

 

[LEWIS540]

Angle burned brighter, but Jericho burned longer and was still pretty bright.

 

[LEWIS540]

Kurt in real wrestling.

Really? Tough decision there, imo.

This may be a my cup of tea thing, however, I feel like Angle had better matches. The Fully Loaded 2000 match with Jericho was very good, though.

Armageddon 2000 Angle vs Austin vs Rock vs Undertaker vs HHH vs Rikishi
No Way Out 2006 Angle vs Undertaker
WM 20 Angle vs Eddie
WM 21 Angle vs Shawn
Royal Rumble 2003 Angle vs Benoit

Fully Loaded 2000 Jericho vs HHH
WM 18 Jericho vs HHH
King of the Ring 2001 Jericho vs Austin vs Benoit

Kurt never wrestled Kenny "BY GOD" Omega in front of 43k at the Tokyo Dome though!

 

[Wrath of Foamy]

Jericho, easily.

Jericho isn't the machine that Angle was, but he's also had a lot of great matches over the years as well.

 

[Big Nasty Edison]

Jericho by several miles

 

[Fadetoblack918]

Jericho is still going and was never looked at as a liability at any point in his career so I'd say Jericho.

However if you made a list of both guys top 5 matches in their careers, Kurt has the better matches

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

Jericho overall, has had a solid career multiple times longer than Angles.

Angle at their peak.

 

[Small Town Andrew]

Angle had a better peak and was a bigger star imo but Jericho has the longevity.

I like both guys but if you go by full pro wrestling career its probably Jericho. He did it longer on a bigger stage

 

[El Dandy]

Jericho, but Angle burned much brighter than him when both were at the top of their games

 

[Hitman81]

Career is clearly Jericho. But at their bests Angle was better.

 

[orca]

kurt is funnier and a better wrestler
its funny every time he talks on mic
his saliva is everywhere lol
i love watching kurt more

 

[RichardPriors]

Angle has a better highlight reel and if it comes down to an afternoon of watching Kurt or Chris matches/promo's, I'm going with the Olympic hero.

Y2J is top tier as well though.

Wrestling career - Angle, and it's not even close. He won a gold medal(with a broken neck).

Sports entertainment career - Jericho by longevity. Maybe peak was slightly higher at WWE debut, but Angle was higher for longer.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

depends on what you wanna give credit to. for all he did in the roughly 10 years of work, angle did damn near just as much as jericho has done in a third of the time. unbelievably underrated mic worker, dozens of classic matches. if you’d rather give jericho the credit for lasting longer and being able to work at a pretty high level for 30 years, i think that’s valid too.
