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. Beat me to most of it. Also add the fact that he reminds me of an ADD kid when he insults someone. I don't feel like cheering someone who calls people "junior" or "assclown" on a regular basis. |

I also find it funny that people were marking for his "Blue Ball" insult of Orton, but if it was Cena that said it, we'd have 38471997 threads saying how awful it was. |

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. I definitely think at least in the case of South Carolina last night it was an apathy thing. I was reading a house show report last week from a show in SC, and the person said it was the smallest house show crowd they'd seen in ages. It was also reported that at the SD/ECW tapings Sunday that about half the arena was tarped off. That poor attendance makes it seem to me like the SC market isn't very interested in the product as a whole right now. |

I didn't think this weeks pop was that bad, he didn't come out to silence or anything
South Carolina though, that was very quiet

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. Definitely. |

i wasnt ever a fan of the guy, so my opinion is obviously skewed a bit. but the way they were carrying on, it was as if hogan had gone away in 1988, and was now returning. was jericho really that big a deal? i know he was popular and over, but the enormous buildup for his return was lost on me.

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. Seemed to me the mention of Trish Stratus got a bigger pop during the backstage segment than the mention of Hogan did. I LOLed. ;D Thats the point I was going to make. Out of the whole list (Hogan, Austin, Foley etc) Tish got the biggest pop. Maybe one of the biggest of the whole night. I also noticed that the crowd looked almost bored during most of the actual wrestling. It was a weird crowd and not in a good way. Even the APA, which i totally marked for mostly because of the "I had no clue it was coming factor" got a tepid reaction. About the only decent part of the crowd was the "Damn" chant that started during Bradshaw's promo. (man I was hoping Ron was gonna pop him one then give his "DAMN" over JBL's unconscious body. Would have loved to see Ron Simmons vs JBL at Armageddon) |

Cena got huge pops before he was injured... at least from the women and children.

I really think there are internet dwellers out there who look for their opportunity to use "smarky talk" and "IWC jargon" In this case it was "Conway Pop".

Besides, they aren't going to pop for an impersonator. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that not everybody watches or researches wrestling as much as you do. |

His pops haven't been what I thought they would be, but I'm still glad to have him back. Even though the match with Umaga was quiet a disappointment.

Look, it's not like Joe Wrestlingfan, with his DX glow sticks and Cena Chain Gang shirt was sitting around pining away for freakin' Chris Jericho.
It's up to the WWE to build him up in their eyes as a true superstar before he gets Cena-pops.
