A returning Elijah Burke would be great.
Someone suggested Charlie Haas. I like that idea. He could be a good associate for Jericho. He could talk about his clowning about and impersonations being a thing of the past. He could also let Jericho do most of the talking for him and concentrate on being a serious wrestler.

Even though I'd mark like hell for Jericho to choose someone like Regal, Haas, Masters, Delicious (who's obviously a heel since he's subverting the government), , or even Beth, the reality is he'll need to get a main eventer or even better someone close to the glass-ceiling to really replace Edge.
SRS partner choices IMO-- JBL, Punk, heel-HBK, Shelton Benjamin (clean victory over Christian last ECW might've been a hint), Kozlov (booked as a main eventer), returning Big Evil who doesn't want to pander to the crowd with the "Deadman" gimmick anymore, Hollywood Rock (would be too perfect even though it's impossible-- just imagine the Jericho/Rock duets!), or a heel-RVD if he ever comes back full-time

Wait a second, a new thought just came to my head.
Bob Backlund.
Imagine the dual promos between those two.
EDIT: Plus Backlund would have a claim to the belts. He won them from The Wild Samoans back in the day teaming with Pedro Morales, but never lost them. (Back then you couldn't be a World Champion and a Tag Champion at the same time, hence why Backlund had to vacate)

I would enjoy if at Night of Champions, Jericho is about to introduce his partner and Ryder comes out. Ryder acts like he's Jericho's partner and throws out a "YOU KNOW IT! WOO WOO WOO", at which point Jericho introduces the real partner.

I want it to be Miz. Maybe Kendrick instead, but I'd definitely say Miz over him. We'll probably get something lame like Hawkins or whatever though, given that they're having to scramble and all.
Would also be okay with it being Cody Rhodes, both to get him the hell away from Randy and pull the plug on DiBiase's face turn at the same time.

Chief Jay Strongbow. Only if Stephanie McMahon returns to introduce him though.

Just for difference sake... Beth Phoenix. She'd DEFINATELY be everything that Edge is not. It would add a new accomplishment into Jericho's Resume: first person to hold the tag titles with a Woman. Plus it would get Beth something to do on TV. And no, I'm not kidding about that. Heck, I wanted her to win the IC title from Santino back when they both had belts and were Glamarella. I got praise on Twitter last night for suggesting Beth Phoenix, and glad to see that she gets mentioned in the second post. Jericho could say he couldn't find a man who met his standards, so he got The Glamazon. It would be awesome... except that they're up against Legacy, so that makes it a bit difficult.

Interesting idea, but ultimately I don't like putting Sheamus over Legacy even with Jericho as his partner. Pecking order and all that jazz.

now that you mention it, i kinda like the idea of it being zach ryder. sorta like a heel version of what punk/cabana had in ROH, with the serious one putting up with the goofy guy just because they gel in the ring, only for the two to actually end up getting along. of course it'd end with jericho turning on poor old zach and the master of the one legged tights turning face.
as for an established star, christian makes sense, and the orton idea people are tossing about is good.

Kennedy being hired back to be his partner would be great. "I don't need a fragile partner like Edge, who injures himself so many times that he's on the shelf more than he's in action. So, I have found a new partner that I can count on. Ladies and gentlemen....MR. KENNEDY!" ;D

Gotta go with HBK or Christian. Though Christian has a storyline right now while HBK, if healthy, would be a huge boost to overall programming.
