DragonKingKarl Greatest Kayfabe Tournament: Chris Jericho vs. Jushin Liger
Round two of our GKT Greatest Kayfabe Tournament continues, pitting Chris Jericho against Jushin Thunder Liger.
Though these two are contemporaries, they have actually wrestled far fewer times than you might imagine and only once in a singles match. Liger has been a favorite of mine since his debut and Jericho, I believe, is actually historically under-appreciated once you examine his lengthy career.
The votes are in! Who won? Let’s talk about Jericho vs. Liger on this week’s DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show.
