In terms of reaction, what Jericho has been getting is a typical "big" pop for WWE these days.
The wrestling world is just stuck in a rut, its cringeworthy.

Yikes. People take their Jericho bashing seriously around here Anyways he hasn't been getting the big reactions but honestly, he's nor Rock or Austin or Hogan, he's not going to get the huge ones they did. From what I heard his reaction last night was alright. Is it really bashing if we comment on the dissapointing pops he's gotten?

I know I'm probably going to get bashed for this, but after his initial debut, Jericho isn't that interesting to me and I couldn't care less about Jericho vs.Orton.

Wasn't trying to start a holy war here. I'm just saying they're ramming him down our throats worse than they did with Cena, but at least Cena got big cheers or big boos. Jericho just speaks in his raspy puberty voice and bores the hell out the audience.....just like he did before he left.

Screw it, just take it and run,lol.

Oh and also I was referring to several of the other psoters not the original poster in what I said.
Also I just think the newer fans that have come in just need to warm up on him and get to know him a bit more. He's was gone since 2005, which is a long time ago in wrestling years.

I was truly excited for Jerichos return, and I'm really happy to see him back, but I still feel as apathetic as I have for wrestling in the last two years. I don't care about the fued between Orton and Jericho as there seems to be no heat between them.

Jericho's my favorite wrestler, and even I can admit he hasn't been getting great pops. Hopefully, it's just a Carolina thing. If not, then I'll still like him.

What did you expect? These are the Cena/Batista era crowds and not the WWF crowds that used to cheer him pretty loudly a few years ago. Those people left long ago.
Current day WWE couldn't be any further from WWF if they tried.

A bunch of people said we were crazy when Jericho debuted when we said his pop was small. Last night was even more evidence of it..............and also to the fact that he sucks on the mic. Could do without him. I hope he doesn't win the belt. Waaay more intrested in the Flair storyline. Fail.

I just think his entrance takes to long. The code stuff, the countdown, the overblown pyro. the cheers are spread out.
And I was a little underwhelmed. His first night was big, not sure what you're talking about. Last two weeks, I was hoping for more.

Honestly Jericho's pops haven't sounded great on TV, even if they have been massive in the arenas as some have said. Although nobody seems to be getting big pops at the moment, literally nobody, and WWE management MUST have noticed this.
It just seems indicative of the current state of the wrestling industry on a national level- very few people get massive reactions on Raw, and the majority of the SmackDown! pops sound ridiculously fake. I mean, who the hell is popping so loud for Chuck Palumbo?! Half of the crowd didn't seem to either know or care about Austin a few weeks ago when he wasted Santino. So it's not a Jericho thing I don't think. It's an apathy thing.

The crowd reaction should be completely irrelevant to an individual liking a wrestler or not. If I went by liking a wrestler based on crowd pops, then why would I like someone like, oh, how about Stevie Richards?

You're right, but I don't think anyone is saying because he gets small pops, he automatically is the worst or anything. I marked initially when he first appeared onscreen a few weeks ago, but I just don't care, especially when he's paired up with Orton, who's not exactly a charisma magnet.

I think what's happened is the overwhelming excitement on these boards for the weeks leading up to Jericho's return left the non-Jericho fans sick and tired of all the (what they may perceive as) unworthy hype. Now that he's been back for a couple of weeks and the crowd doesn't seem so into it as initially thought, the non-Jericho fans can kind of make the point that the crowd doesn't care for Jericho.
