There were many wrestlers who achieved major success in 2022 and it seems that everyone has their own opinion when it comes to who the wrestler of the year was.
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page recently appeared on Sportskeeda’s WrestleBinge and he was asked about his pick for wrestler of the year. DDP acknowledged a few notable names who made an impact, but ultimately he went with Chris Jericho and explained why he thinks Jericho is the new Ric Flair.
“It’s so close cause I could’ve easily given this to Roman Reigns, very easily,” DDP said. “I think they’re both amazing and had unbelievable years, but Jericho I got to give the nod t because he’s my boy, but at the same time, I watch how over he is and the length of time he has been.
“To me, he’s like the new Ric Flair because people have watched him for 25-30 years. When he wasn’t on top, he was on his way to the top, and he’s been on top for over 20 years. I know it’s a one-year deal but I just have to give him the nod, very close; you could easily have given it to Roman Reigns.”
