I've noticed a lot of similarities between Jericho and Piper recently, with Jericho taking a break from the biz to make himself fresh again, but nothing made me see the resemblance more than his match on Raw. Jericho was totally channelling Piper, with everything from the slow movements/getting up, right down to the infamous retaliation eye-poke. Years ago in an interview Jericho mentioned that Piper warned him that he had to keep leaving the biz to keep himself fresh, which Jericho obviously listened to. In his book, Jericho seems very eager to learn from the legends, so I can't help but think he's trying to pattern himself after Piper now. It's funny, because Piper lived in Winnipeg early in his life, which is where Jericho grew up too. How long until Jericho comes down in a kilt and starts calling himself the Icon?  |

On the short list of wrestlers who could get huge reactions from an audience as either a babyface or as a heel, I'd put the 2 of them at the top of the list.

I'd love it if Y2J kept up the homage so much that Piper finally came in to do a Piper's Pit and had Y2J on, and thanked Chris for "imitating me." We all know the fun and games that spawned last time. Jericho beats the living shit out of Piper, and the following week, Piper destroys the Highlight Reel set with a baseball bat. Everything old is new again, baybay!

The above would be awesome!
They teased a little Piper/Y2J feud a while back after Roddy came back from Mania 19. Then that fell apart. Also in Jerichos book he mentioned that he was suppose to feud with Hot Rod in WCW.
Imagine how awesome that would be if they could have done this when Roddy was in his prime?
