I'm the biggest Jericho fan there is, but even with the awesome square-off with Sheamus, it still seems... like we're missing something, somewhere.
For as big of a deal as his return and then his Rumble appearance were built up as, light-up jacket, different pyro, and different minitron aside, he doesn't seem to have reinvented himself nearly as much as he did for 2007.
-His trunks are a design that he used while SRS
-No new finisher or really anything different move-wise
-Nothing really stand-outty about his Rumble appearance that seemed to fit with all the build-up.
I seriously expected a sort of Alice Cooper or sort of more dark metal sort of look/act for Jericho with the promo videos, and then when that didn't happen, something more trollish in his rumble appearance, but it really seems as if he's just picked off where he was when he left, while doing his pose again and being slightly less serious.
I dunno...

The WWE writers had nothing.
"Wait...so we had him not touch anyone for four weeks, hyped up these packages of the End of the World, and made him be a self pandering jackass. Now what for the Rumble?"
"I dunno."
"Let's just have him come out at #29 and wrestle like he always does."
"Does he win?"
"Nah, Triple H told us to put Sheamus over. We'll just eliminate him last and act like the past four weeks never happened."

Part of why I'm disappointed with he Rumble ending is that Jericho kind of looks, as usual, like a giant goober.
He has a HUGE return, keeps the crowd waiting for SOMETHING, then he says it'll happen at the Rumble, and...nothing. And it wasn't a "troll" either, he legit tried to accomplish something and failed. And that sucks.

Yeah it was odd that he ran n there and wrestled.
I wasn't expecting him to do a damn thing except walk in there and eliminate the last guy after sitting in the front row with Sign Guy eating popcorn and trololololo'ing.

The 'wait and see' thing is played out and cliche; but I feel like we'll get more answers t'row night, possibly a Jericho melt down of some sort.

What you didn't see was Triple H waiting in the gorilla position to come out as #31 if Jericho had tossed Sheamus.

In all honesty.. It was a fresh winner with great potential and good in ring ability. People are never satisfied!
1) we want a fresh winner
2) Jericho said something.. I want him!
3) Well at least it isn't Orton..
Really guys?? come on.. The guy is good in the ring and fun to watch as a heel or face.
Im honestly excited to see how they book him. Im looking forward to it

Don't rule out the possibility that WWE will blow off the meaning of the vignettes and the "end of the world" slogan by having Jericho just shrug, smirk and say "hey, it means nothing, but it got you all talking, right?"
