There's no doubt about it at this point - Chris Jericho is an all-time great in the wrestling business and WWE legend.

Although Y2J has been having matches for New Japan Pro Wrestling - where he's currently their Intercontinental Champion - and organising the first ever wrestling cruise, he still remains close to the WWE.

Given the way the storyline over the Universal title is playing out at present, Brock Lesnar is almost the polar opposite to Jericho.

Despite holding the company's top strap, Lesnar rarely appears on television and does little to nothing when he does.

Considering the vast amount of money he is paid by the WWE, one would think they could have him perform on Raw once in a while when he does actually show up, but they seem to do the bare minimum with him.

It's long been rumoured that several WWE superstars don't believe it is fair for Lesnar to earn the reported $12 million a year that he does from the WWE, but Jericho - who has had backstage altercations with Lesnar - sees things differently.

"I think a lot of people have animosity towards [Lesnar] because of that [favorable deal], but I don't." Jericho admitted on The Ross Report, "I admire the guy. I would like that deal and I'm not so sure that I won't get a deal like that at some point.

"At least in New Japan I did, so I remember years ago someone said, 'you can't blame,' I think they were talking about [Hulk] Hogan when Hogan had that huge deal with WCW and he got a percentage of the pay-per-views and he was making this money, they're like, 'you can't blame Hogan for getting the deal.' You can't blame freakin' LeBron James for going to [NBA's Los Angeles Lakers] for $40 million for two years.

"Blame the company! Blame the owners! Blame the team! Blame the company! Blame Vince [McMahon]! Don't blame the guy [who received the favorable deal].

Yeah, I'm always happy for the [performers], whoever they are, whether you like them or you don't like them when they make good money because I still think for years, if you're liking at the NFL, NBA, NHL, WWE salary caps, who's making the least amount of money percentage-wise?

"It's always the WWE [performers], so anybody to can make really, really good money in the [pro] wrestling business, I never hold any animosity towards them because it just means if they can make more money, I can make more money too at some point."

Of course, Jericho himself is on a part-time deal right now, so he can certainly see the advantages to operating like Lesnar. However, those two will never truly be the same.
