I'm liking the latest iteration of Chris Jericho's heel character.
Phase one was WCW conspiracy theorist Jericho, phase two was Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla here to save the WWF Y2J, phase three was super serious, big-word using, suit-wearing slimeball Jericho and phase four is whiny, angsty, screaming at you like you're my dad and just told me to clean my room Jericho.

I genuinely think he has taken inspiration from Dennis from It's Always Sunny and that's not a bad thing.

Linguists on FAN: is it redundant to call someone a 'stupid idiot' or is there a distinct difference at play here?

Yeah, after nearly 8 years of crap, I did not think I'd ever be interested in a Jericho feud but kudos to them all for pulling this off.

The fact it's such a dumb insult makes it work for Jericho's character. I mean the guy's literally making people think "ugh that insult was la-oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I get itttttttt, damn that Jericho's so good".

He's basically an older wiser Lionheart from WCW at this point. The tantrum after Ryder beat him was proof of that

Hopefully Jericho cuts promo about the implication.

This whole storyline and the promos are stupid. Jericho turn heel on AJ for no reasons and they keep interfering in each other's matches and they get beat by roll ups. Christ.
I liked early on when Chris was a pro but was kind of frustrated that AJ beat him on his first match. They build this up well and it became a respect thing and they became a tag team. Of course Jericho could turn heel at some point but not cause people were chanting AJ Style or cause they lost the tag title match. After one loss, basically.
It's like after putting together something with a potential good pay off, the last two to three weeks have become really stupid with no point. All thw writers took a break, it seems.
I think the storyline should have been about one thing, AJ Styles is coming in and doing great things and Jericho is mad about it and feels like he's underserving and he's a nobody. Sort of like when Foley turned heel on Funk when Funk told him "hey Foley the WWWE sucks!". Foley took it personally cause he was proud of what he did in the WWE and took himself too seriously. It should have been the same thing here with Y2J.
I know that Chris can be funny and it's easy for him to do so and be a funny heel but in truth the whole thing is stupid.
