Jericho sucks.
Eddie is great but he died before he could reach goat discussions.
Bret always suffered from not having great opponents, but he got better matches out of Nash, Sid, Taker and Yoko than anyone else.
AJ wasted his physical prime away in a company that didn't even bother selling tickets. I like his New Japan run but it's far from goated. Haven't seen much of his WWE stuff I suspect it won't change my mind, not goated.
Flair is goated, great matches across the world and throughout multiple decades.
Sting owes his entire career to Magnum TA's car accident. He's like Luger, charismatic and carriable but not a goat.
Funk is also goated. The ultimate journeyman, this is what modern fans pretend Jericho is.
I hesitate to call Vader goated. He's definitely the goat monster, but it doesn't work without a strong babyface.
Liger's influence and juniors wrestling in general has been a net negative for wrestling, but I can't really hold that against him. Certainly innovative, but as a junior I just don't think he can be called goated.
Most of Muta's Japanese work is dogshit. Great in America, and has occasional moments of brilliance, but most of his great work in Japan is Hase carrying his ass.
Austin, not a fan, but I can recognize him as a goated sports entertainer, maybe under different circumstances he could have been a wrestler but the universe unfolded the way it did.
Mox, lol gtfo.
Some actual goats along with Flair and Funk: Hashimoto, Misawa, Jumbo, Chigusa Nagayo, Jerry Lawler, Kobashi, and Cena.
