Regal > Jericho
 

Well one dude is getting a big heel push and one isn't. Duh!

Oh look, another lets hate on jericho thread. Do hate on Jericho some more please, you're not a tiring act at all now are you BDC.

Jericho > Nash.

All you need to know.

Undertaker didn't. JBL didn't. Steve Austin didn't. Chris Jericho didn't. Christian Cage didn't. Should I go on?

EDIT: Nevermind.

Miss you guys.

Kliq 4 Lyfe

This thread could be titled many things though, BDC.

Regal > MVP

Regal > Jeff Hardy

Regal > CM Punk

Regal > JBL

Regal > Big Show

The list could go on. The fact that you choose Jericho is proof that this is just a "why such-in-such (in this case: Regal) is better than Y2J" thread.

Exactly fox. Its tiring.

I believe that law was enacted so that wrestlers wouldn't try to dive through plate glass windows to escape their adversaries, as did that coward Marty Janetty.

Wrong on both counts there. During his biker run, Taker had hair one week and it was cut the next. Same with JBL before he turned heel.

Regal doesn't look stronger. He's just getting a bigger push. There's a difference.
Regal has yet to win a match clean besides the Punk match.

Jericho wins every week and gets back any loss he gets

just sayin

And jericho is far better on the mic, has more potential than regal.

BDC: ARREST THAT DEADMAN!!!
Cop 1: but he's dead
BDC (whispers): no.. you have to shout it incoherentley
Cop 1: why?
Cop 2: just placate the boy stan
Cop 1: allright... ahem... BUD HE DAAAAAYYY
COP 2: ID CLEE DO SEE HEE DAAAAYYYY
BDC: BUD HE GOT DEEE HAIRS COOOTTTT ARAIJFOAJIFAOFID
Undertaker: Jesus fucking christ.
Jesus: HE DAAAAAAAAAY

LOL.

I wasn't going to defend BDC or anything, because he's a big boy and doesn't need a cheerleading squad. But this is some of the most retarded shit I could imagine reading.

Second place goes to TL for agreeing.

I think at this moment regal is a little over jericho. I really like Jericho though.

To look "strong" as you put it. But either way, you need wins. At the moment they're pushing him as a corrupt authority figure which works the way they're doing it, but to make him look strong in the ring he needs to win some matches. To look like a strong heel he needs to steal some hard fought matches.
At the moment, no he isn't even close to strong. He jobbed for 3+ years, and has since won one match.
Granted, yes he's recieving a strong push. But Hornswaggle recieved a bigger push in 2007 than most of the uppercard. Doesn't mean he looked stronger

Oh and my unbiased two cents.
Jericho, as a former champion and consistent uppermidcard/main eventer obvious looks stronger. He wins matches consistently against other protected wrestlers. He also holds a top tier title (regardless of it's credibility) and is depicted as one of the best on television.
Regal, however, has yet to get an in ring push of any sort.

In terms of storyline, the edge goes to Regal at the moment. Jericho is still on tv every week, and involved in an awkward storyline, but a weekly storyline with Bats and HBK nonetheless.

I'd say Jericho definitely ranks higher in the pecking order of the WWE right now, but Regal is in the midst of a push so they could be around the same level kayfabe and storyline-wise shortly. How long that lasts is another discussion, but yes I agree with what you're saying.

Even though technically Jericho is stronger and higher priority than Regal RIGHT NOW, I'll def agree with Regal=Jericho

Yea I feel ya. It's a fair assertion from a storyline standpoint, or a personal preference one as well

Ahhh, and now the jericho haters come to back bdc up, just like every other hate on jericho thread, do you guys just sit around hating jericho all day or something? Get a life.

Where are the Regal marks, anyway? I mean, you have people bitching about the comparison as though Jericho was just compared to some shitty third rate wrestler.

And I ask: Of all the people to be worse than, is it even that bad if Jericho is worse than him?

Regal is not Shawn Michaels or Kurt Angle. He's not the Rock or Steve Austin. He is, however, strong in both mic skills and mat skills, even if his mat skills aren't exactly what people think of in terms of style. Regal's been a solid wrestler or character for years now, and has been constantly outshone by other wrestlers. And now he's getting a solid push that is long overdue. Is it really so bad to be compared to that?

Well, it is for TL, because it would require him to take Chris' cock out of his mouth, but come on....

So the guy named after Jericho is a Jericho hater?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound right now?

OMFG, I don't hate Jericho. In fact, I'm loving the seeds of this heel turn so far, but can no-one mention Jericho withouth the Jericho Defense Force (or JDF) turning up?

Did you just call me the jericho hater coming to back BDC up? LOL

I haven't seen any of the heel turn. Is it better than his redebut then?

Anyway, the JDF is appropriate.

They're fairweather fans anyways. They wouldn't be so cock-suckingly defensive if he continued wrestling with leprosy or some shit.

It is. You're either with us, or you're against us!

Yeah, the awards ceremony on Raw was gold.

The IWC usually is. It's all about jumping on the bandwagon and then defending it at ALL COSTS. The bandwagon generally only dies out if the person in question gets a push.

Which is why I'm hoping CM Punk gets a major push.

I'm a Regal mark.

Someone should start a JDF group in the social groups.

I like both guys. But recently, I'm more impressed with what I've seen of Regal. I haven't caught any of the last couple Raws because of House being on, and before that, my exposure was still limited, but....

BDC, you dislike Jericho because he isn't what he used tobe in the ring and his matches sucked, but Regal was never all that great, and now is worse. Regal is fairly sloppy and his matches havent been the best.

Jericho is the better worker, and on the mic.

Jericho > Regal.

I'm a fan of both Regal and Jericho. I've been a Jericho fan dating back to ECW...

The fact is, Regal is one of the best current wrestlers in the world to have NEVER won a world title. Jericho is the fucking man, bar none. I say that Regal is better because he's on a different plateau, sunshine.

That and his hair fucking rules.

Meh.


Santino > Regal

Regal's hair > Santino.

How the fuck is Regal sloppy in the ring?

For that matter, given the last few Jericho matches I've seen, how the fuck is Jericho NOT sloppy in the ring?

Regal is amazing, I remember everyone saying so a few months ago even. Now it's like everyone is anti Regal.... wtf

People were blowing their loads over how awesome he was when he won KotR.

You state over and over again you don't even watch.

BDC simply said Regal was better than Jericho. He bitches out Jericho every week for being sloppy in the ring, but doesn't think anything of Regals slopiness.

People blow their loads over Kendrick and Santino too.

Jerichos only sloppy when we use the lube!!!!! http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...oodh/woody.gif [/JDF]

I accidently voted Jericho > Regal, but what I meant was Regal is better than Jericho.

Damn.

Oh well.

I went with Regal over Jericho given the guidlines said here: Which it seems like half the people failed to read before railing away that Jericho = Bigger than Jesus and Regal = Sack of Crap. Which is interesting consider that up until this thread most everybody was all over Regal's junk too.

All-in-all, personally, I like Jericho more. But like I said, under the criteria listed...Regal > Jericho.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Nah, ofcourse you haven't... i would take you more seriously if you weren't so obsessed with hating on him every week or so. But the fact that you've made so many threads/posts against him, means i can't take you seriously when it comes to this!

Jericho and Regal are glorious equals in my book. Admittedly, it's a strange book.

Spanky and London were awesome in ROH and as tag champs they rocked.

You know what? You can't honestly be stupid enough to take what I've said and translate it into I don't even watch. Fact is, I do watch. I haven't paid as much attention of late, and in the last two weeks, I've not watched any because House conflicts with the first hour. But I watch. I may not watch as much as the teeming masses, the fuckwads who hate the program with a passion, and yet seem to be glued to the TV each week with raging hardons, but I can't obsess that much over a bunch of sweaty guys groping each other anymore.

Also, I seem to recall a couple of hours ago, you were talking about Jericho in an era you professed to have no interest in or memory of....


Which doesn't really change anything here. I often wonder what you're arguing, since it hinges either on making shit up completely, or pointing out things of little to no relevance.

Go Away KK.

What [Instant Classoc] does to logic, we're doing to Poland!

Sorry, watched To Be Or Not To Be recently.

FUCK YOU KK!

and FUCK YOUR LOGIC!!


ALLAH ALLAH

I thought you were a Jew this week.

SHALOM SHALOM

No, I was attacking Israel.

Me too.

Well, by attacking them, I mean saying they shouldn't commit genocide. But you know, that's the same as donning jackboots and having one testicle....

Well, yeah. Hence why I used the word "attack", maybe I should have used quotations.

I thought you might have taken the Canadian Air Force's one Pla...Hang Glider over there...

Right now I am more interested in Regal than Jericho. However, it could easily swing back the other way once Jericho goes full blown heel. But right now I'm voting for Regal > Jericho because he has been the absolute man this past weeks.

ILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

Good old TPWW "Where people come to argue the most inconsequestial things imaginable"

Does it really matter what BDC, Instant Classic, TL, or Kane Knight think anyway?

IT STILL MATTERS TO THEM DAMMIT!!!

Chris Jericho is overrated. He's pretty good on the mic, and he's pretty good in the ring. He's not this amazing, limitless talent that everyone seems to think he is, and I'm sorry, but saying that Regal is sloppy in comparison to Jericho means one of two things. Either you're blatently trying to sway opinion by being dishonest, or you simply don't know what you're talking about. Jericho can be entertaining, and is a very good wrestler. You all are talking about someone who's best work was arguably over a decade ago. No matter what anyone says, yes, his return has floundered a bit, and it's because fans just don't care about him THAT much.

While he was gone, everyone was saying, 'Please God Jericho, come back to BAH-GAWD RAW.' They even did a 'Save us' gimmick, which floundered pathetically. Now that he's back? Meh. Poor booking? Maybe...but I was never feeling it.

Regal, on the other hand, is on a roll right now. I'll go out on a limb and say that Regal has cut some of the best promos I have seen on RAW in so long that I can't even remember something better. (Which is probably wrong, of course, but the guy has been money)

Regal is an excellent wrestler and understands basic wrestling psychology maybe better than anyone working today. I hate to be one of those guys that references something that's on a WWE DVD and even put over by the announcers, but if you can see Chris Benoit v. Regal at the Pillman memorial show, it's definately worth a view. It's textbook.

Before this, I always thought that regal was okay on the mic. But he looks like a million bucks right now, and has really shown that he can go edgy and get it across.

I guess my point is, right now, Regal > Jericho. However, ten years ago, Jericho > Regal, as far as I'm concerned. I guess you could blame booking for either, or that Regal was a tad overweight back then and didn't get the breaks...or whatever else you might want to pick.

I sure as hell am not going to complain if Regal gets a title run. It's about time we had a heel that had a real personality outside of Triple H.

I vote Regal > Jericho.

Three cheers for irony!

Someone very special has a message for all you Jericho Haters out there

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...arths5/war.jpg

That is trés ghey.

I like them both, good guys.

Aww Kane Knight misinterprets the meaning of irony...

You're a lovable little scamp.

I'm sure it's not even close. BDC may not be hating on Jericho, per se, but I think the objection some have to this thread is that BDC specifically chose Regal and Jericho to compare. What could have warranted this comparison?

To answer BDC's question, though, I'm really not sure who I prefer at the moment. I'd take both over pretty much every other guy in the WWE. Both a great in-ring workers, and fantastic on the mic (despite what people are now saying about Jericho, to deny he can work magic on the mic is ridiculous).

They are different types of performers, though. Regal is a more European-based wrestler, whereas Jericho has a more "flashy" flavour to him. Japan, Mexico and Canada all sort of effect his style. They are also on opposite ends of the face/heel spectrum (well, I still technically consider Jericho a face until he officially turns heel).

As for who is more over? I haven't been watching RAW, so I'm not sure the kind of heat that Regal's new "abusing power" angle has gotten, but Jericho is pretty damn over. We've been over this before, and I'm sure you'll disagree, but Jericho ws one of the most popular guys during the Attitude era. Yes, everyone was popular then, but Jericho was in that upper echelon, even though he was never the top guy. People remember that, and they also are reminded constantly of him being the Undisputed Champion. Jericho's credibility can be re-established in a snap of the fingers.

Regal's style gives off the impression of sloppiness. He meshes in just enough real shit that it could sometimes look awkward to someone, I guess.

Also, Jericho has been far from sloppy.

LOL, no. Sorry.

LOL. Even IC conceded that point.

Yes. People are getting severely butthurt over it. The problem is, they're getting butthurt over things they're making up in their own heads.

A. I would call Jericho lazy before I called him sloppy.
B. I remember how preposterous it was to suggest that Regal was World Title material as little as a year ago. Now he's tied with internet diety Jericho. I could make a hearty delicious soup out of my satisfaction.

BDC eats Tacos.

So IC conceded means everyone else has to? I have not seen any sloppiness from Jericho. When I think of sloppy workers, I think of people who can't time their shit, can't hit it, and are just a mess in the ring. Jericho has been far from a mess. I'm trying to think of one botch, and the only one I can think of is when he landed on Punk wrong during a Lionsault spot.

His ring work has really been quite good since returning. I haven't seen his stuff with JBL, but JBL's matches are never meant to be read as bouts of precision.

I would call him lazy and sloppy.

And as for Regal, The tide may have turned simply because they clearly pushed Regal for a reason. Regal's always been an internet darling, but he's never looked like he had a real chance. He doesn't have the "look," He's not big, he's got a style that radically differs from the guys who normally make it, and while he's charismatic, he's not Cena or Rock charismatic.

Anyway, and this isn't dedicated at you specifically or anything, but I'm laughing at the people who are bent by this, bitching about BDC and how he has it out for Jericho, yet the poll being so evenly split kinda says to me it's a fair comparison. Not directed at you, just something amusing that came to mind while reading it.

That's all well and good. I'm glad you have those reasons. You have been an antagonist when it comes to Jericho remarks, though. It might have been good to specify your reasoning behind comparing the two. Even then, though, you bringing up Jericho could be read as sly anti-Jericho slants.

Of course, if only people realised you weren't subtle about your hatred of guys, they'd be much more enlightened.

I like Jericho and everything, but this is just plain wrong.

As good as Jericho is, once and a while a promo or interview falls flat, or sounds forced. It's not often, but it happens.

It happens to everybody once and a while. Everyone except regal, that is. I cannot recall a single incident where regal spoke into a mic, and had the same problems listed above. Every time, he seems completely absorbed into his character, and the angle.

As for in-ring stuff, Jericho is more versitale as far as what he can do, but regal's mat skills and psycology are much better. And he knows how to brawl a lot better, too.

No. Again and again, no.

Also, "I haven't seen it" means very little in your case. You can try and make it out like "everyone" who disagrees with me is dismissed like you, but no. Just you. Why? Well, because you look at Jericho through love goggles.

Also, Jericho is supposed to be someone who can get a great match out of anyone. Why would his bouts with JBL be any different?
