He was fine once upon a time. At this point, I honestly don't mind if I never see him again.

I'm as big a fan of Y2J as the next guy, but I'm good. "Oh but he can have good matches with younger guys and put them over!" A rub from Jericho doesn't mean anything anymore since he's done so many jobs the past 2-3 years. And whatever midcard young guy who beats him is still going to be midcard, so it's a waste of a match to begin with.

Why would I want to watch a great wrestler who can work great as a face or heel who is over with the fans and has no problem putting his fellow wrestlers over?

I still like him a lot, but I'm fine with not seeing him.
So I voted No, but it's not a no with any sort of strong feeling. If he did/does show back up, it'd be like "Oh ok, cool."

I don't need to see him or his permanently surprised new face any more.

And to be honest, he peaked as an undercarder in WCW. I don't even mean that to insult the guy because that stuff was straight up hilarious but it was his best period in my opinion. Early WWF was good too but I love the stuff he was doing in the cruiserweight division.

I'd rather see Triple H win the Royal Rumble.

If he could somehow duplicate the awesome SRS Jericho run of 08 (or whatever it was) I'd love it. I just don't think he can pull it off that well anymore.

Jericho is easily one of my all-time favorites, to the point that my username was made as a tribute to him. That being said, I can't say I've got an interest in seeing him return as a full-timer.

Jericho don't want to be on TV no more. Plus, he wouldn't change anything. The creative direction would still be a hot mess.

Well, it's a good thing they don't book to your exact specifications. That "trash" is still better than 90% of the roster at this point. Because 90% of the roster isn't being allowed to actually work their craft and grow. That number isn't 90%. Not even close. Don't like it? Don't watch.

And they'll never get a chance to become better if they don't stop relying on the same old trash coming back. We're in a rebuilding phase. Jericho coming back and going over people like Neville helps no one. Jericho going out on interviews and saying things like, "If you don't like Wrestle XYZ, shut the hell up! Oh, wait, I didn't mean it, I'm sowwy," makes him look like a shithead sucking up when the boss' eyes are over his shoulder. So who gives a f*** if he's better, him being here clogging up the drain just prevents people from moving up the ladder. Jericho doesn't prevent multiple people from "moving up the ladder". You're pulling that out of your ass to get your point across. Neville is a flippy dude who without a manager, will NEVER draw money for WWE. He can go a bit in the ring, hit a nice spot, but a ME with him in it is one I and a host of people will never pay for.

Jericho is one of my all time favorites, but no. None of the Attitude Era guys need to be full time anymore. He's fine as an occasional guest appearance and special attraction.

Just put on good matches with Neville, Zayn, Owens, etc.... At this point his value is shot, so just make him have good matches and that's it. Elevate them like how the Dudleyz and Dreamer think they did to the Wyatts. ... that's pretty much the majority of his returns isn't it?

Oh come on. I know Jericho is past his prime but he's far far better in the ring than Kane. His recent matches with Neville and Kevin Owens on the house show specials were really good. Jericho still brings a lot to the table, but some people care more about how someone acts on Twitter or in interviews than about their actual performance.

That'd be a very late WCW thing to do.
Which WWE has reminded me of as of late.
