Let's talk about Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho stepped on my J's and didn't signal when he changed lanes.

I hated SRS Jericho.

I want my Jericho to be loud and vibrant. Sparkly shirts and mispronounced words galore. The dudes style and opinions are his, I could give a damn about any of that. As long as he's same old Jericho on t.v that's all that matters.

Jericho is the guy they use when they want someone to look like they're doing something important but not really.

So he's the original Bray Wyatt.

Like Jimmy Snuka when he returned in 1989.

I've always liked Jericho, he would have been in my top 5 wrestlers since about 1999. I still do like him but I find him incredibly offputting on his podcast. Not even offensive, just irritating. And, unfortunately, although I like his willingness to work with new talent, he's just not a big enough star that beating him is a boost.

That's probably the biggest victim of the diminishing returns of his part-time runs... If he's losing to everyone, then there's no rub to get anymore because then you're just beating up a washed-up veteran that never wins anymore. But then that creates the issue of him winning to prove that he ISN'T washed-up, and it becomes a case of "Everyone beats Jericho except for THAT guy? Man, they really must hate him" to some.
