The ONLY way to TRULY get a guy to the next level, is via clean and convincing victory. -Austin beating Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14 -Triple H beating Foley 3 consecutive times in 1999/00 -Batista defeating Triple H 3 consecutive times in 2005 -Lesnar defeating The Rock cleanly in the Summer of 2002 -Goldberg beating Hogan at the Bash in 1998 -The Rock beating Austin at Wrestlemania 19 -John Cena beating Triple H at Wrestlemania 22. THESE are all victories that MEAN something since it's CONVINCING. Roll up victories, interference-in-match type victories, and other forms of FLUKEY and/or NON-convincing victories, do not much for the wrestler. All it basically does is either pro-long an angle, or make that guy a transitional champ. Period. -This is one reason why JBL never truly established himself as a *real* main-event guy despite having such a long world title reign. -This is why Chris Jericho never really established himself as a true top-tier main-eventer despite having "victories" over guys like The Rock and Austin (I put "victories" in quotation for a reason). -This is Kurt Angle was not taken seriously as a main-eventer in 00', but started to be taken a little more seriously in 01' when he beat Austin CLEANLY (although the WWE shit the bed with Angle right after this unfortunately). However - when Angle beat Lesnar and Show in a triple threat match CLEANLY....and then defeated Lesnar CLEANLY at Summerslam that year, this is how Angle finally started to become pegged as a LEGIT top-tier guy in the WWE. It's unfortunate, but that's how things work. Kofi Kingston beating Orton with a roll-up doesn't do shit........just as Cody Rhodes beating Orton with a roll-up doesn't do shit. |
I disagree. All of those guys have 'it' and with enough of a push, they'd have gotten over huge at some point no matter what. And Rock was on 'the next level' a long time before that Austin match.

Jericho isn't top level because of the reasons Heyman pointed out. Jericho has never beat top level guys on his own.

-What if Austin had never beaten a guy like Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14? (or it was done with some kind of gay roll up). What about if Goldberg got some flukey over Hogan at the Bash? Yeah sure - both men would have still gotten over huge, but not to same extent. At SOME point, if you really want to get someone to that next level, a clean and convincing victory over a 'top guy' is needed....just as The Rock did when he beat Mankind on more than one occassion. |

-The WWE completely shit the bed with Jericho when they DIDN'T give him that World title victory over Triple H back in 2000 (you know....the match that 'technically never happened'?). Even during the Jericho/Benoit feud from 2000, the WWE completely mishandleded Jericho. Instead of using Benoit to help Jericho get to the next level (i.e. Jericho getting clean and convincing victories over Benoit), the WWE instead did the opposite. They used Jericho's charisma and overness to help get Benoit over. As result, Benoit almost always beat Jericho convincingly whenever they fought, while Jericho's victories over Benoit were almost always more flukey by nature (and Jericho was the face!). Out of Angle, Benoit, and Jericho, Jericho should have been made to look the most superior. Instead however, Jericho was made to look the weakest out of the 3 men. The pecking order went Angle-Benoit-Jericho, when it should have been Jericho-Angle-Benoit. |
Jericho and Benoit are both over rated and had a tendancy to phone things in and coast.

As a face main event player, I would love to see Edge get some clean victories; but the logical opponents for Edge right now are TOP HEELS. Guys that fans will actually want Edge to beat and beat cleanly. Chris Jericho will be first, CM Punk can be second, Randy Orton third. If Shawn Michaels turns heel, then definitely him. Edge needs to be accepted as a face first before they pull the trigger on huge face vs. face matches and expect them to mean anything. |
