They'll probably make him face so that guys like Owens, Rusev or Miz can get a chance to feud with him.

Hope him and Owens don't get split up in the draft. They've been amazing with their skits.

I just love how he's tweaked his character. He went from calling people parasites and troglodytes to stupid idiots. Brilliant. "Gelatinous tapeworms" is my favorite. Saw a guy on TV with that on a sign with arrows pointing everywhere. Still cracks me up. Yeah, his ring work can't compare to a Zayn or Owens at this point of life, but the character is tremendous.

I have barely watched since Mania but its nice to see Y2J geting some love. Been checking out some of his 2016 stuff on youtube. Very entertaining. Any recomendations, segment wise?

Good. Dude's been on fire.
He tends to start out slow with his returns, but really picks up steam as he goes. I'm loving his current craziness.

I can't think of specific dates besides last week's Smackdown, but he's been having some funny exchanges with Kevin Owens. They have this sitcom chemistry where they seem to enjoy annoying each other.

This is my favorite Jericho character ever. It's up there, for sure. I still think SRS Jericho was one of the best heels of the modern era and Jericho/HBK is among the best feuds of all-time.

I'm burned out on this guy and just wish he would vanish. I'm just so sick of his act as a heel or face as he has become more of a channel changer than the Dudleys to me...and that's sad. I never thought I'd see an act that just screams how out dated it is more than Buh-Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley but Jericho has.
Seeing them still on WWE TV in 2016 just shows how little we've come since the early/mid 2000's.

Glad opinion has mostly turned around on Jericho now because this was a tough place to be a Jericho fan 5/6 months ago

This is great news. I've admittedly been down on recent Jericho returns. The 2012 one featured good matches but was lackluster, the 2013 one had a great Royal Rumble surprise but was mostly dull and the 2014 feud with Bray never really interested me.
However, he's been fantastic in this run. From the "stupid idiot" stuff to the fun matches to the good promos to the damn scarf, Jericho has been on point.

Glad opinion has mostly turned around on Jericho now because this was a tough place to be a Jericho fan 5/6 months ago Because his tired babyface Y2J act wasn't entertaining anymore. He knew it, because it was the second time he's come back to WWE as a purposefully terrible babyface so he could justify a heel turn. It's kind of brilliant.

Man, my interest in Jericho has been so schizo of late, but the guy just keeps proving himself and is always looking to add new quirks and interest in his personality. He was a favorite (Fave 5 permanent member from WCW to his first return) and I was actually loathing his return this time around because the constant yo-yoing was grating and he just was there to be seen. He slowly has gotten right back into my good graces and was solidified in that Asylum match with his facials and I love his cocky remarks while hes in the ring. I'm not a fan of giving out title runs for past accomplishments, but Jericho is in a position where I think a run could elevate the title and with two titles coming into the fray again soon, hes a prime candidate to carry one of them. Jericho as a champ with Rollins chasing/face turn would be money.

Since you can't share a negative opinion of Jericho on here without people pretending it's a personal attack on themselves, I'll just say... 6 more months of this? Oh boy.

I'm fine with this. I think Jericho is doing some of his best work, and I hated SRS Jericho in 2008. I don't think it's the best thing since slice bread, but I like what he's doing right now.

He kind of seems to have run out of things to do presently short of being a filler feud for Reigns or Cena post-brand extension - both of which elicit an, "Ew, no," from me - don't see much for him to really move to from here. They'll probably make him face so that guys like Owens, Rusev or Miz can get a chance to feud with him. And this leads me to something that bugs me. We know that Jericho can reinvent himself over and over again as a heel. So why can't he as a face? Does he intentionally always play the same lame-ass face character so that the writers have no choice but to turn him heel?
