Jericho at Mania (Poll)
 

Out of the possible opponents Jericho has for legends at Wrestlemania, who do you the TPWW UNIVERSE want to see?

Now if it was Steamboat anywhere close to his prime, I'd say this. The ultimate babyface vs. Jericho.

I have a feeling it's going to be either Flair coming out of retirement or Stone Cold, I'm going with Austin just cause I don't want to see Flair break the retirement.

Out of them Flair has the greatest chance, but I don't think anyone from that list will be nor should be facing Jericho.

I really don't know who, but I've got a feeling it's going to be bad.

None of the above. While Stone Cold is the best option, I don't want to see Stone Cold beat Jericho, as it makes no sense. If Punk wasn't in MitB, I'd say him, because they could have played off his past history with Steamboat and had him come to Steamboat's aid. Besides that, I could see someone coming to a legend's aid and turning face in the process, like Jericho starts to beat down one of the Samoans, and Umaga saves them.... I don't know...

Pfft!

When had WWE ever refered to another promotions history (which the didn't already own)

I still think that they will use Rouke

It will be Jerry Lawler. I'm telling you. He will get sick of the HOF'ers getting dishragged and he'll step up and get the emo win.

There isn't a button for other.

Terry Funk, because it's almost time for another retirement match.

I'm hoping for Stone Cold, but only if Jericho goes over.

Also, Steamboat cut a hell of a promo last night. I didn't know he could work the stick like that.

Hogan

It'd make no sense for Jericho to go over in this feud, assuming he's facing a legend. Whoever it will be, they're clearly going for fan service. The face has to win this, even more so if it's Austin or one of the other inductees.

Maybe they actually want to make Jericho the 'legend' that his character so badly wants to be. A Jericho win would be HUGE for him. There's a chance he could still win.

Besides, if he beat The Rock and Stone Cold in one night, just Stone Cold alone should be a cakewalk. :shifty:

It would be huge for him but wouldn't be very logical the way they're booking it. They're clearly setting it up for Jericho to fall. It seems like the classic "bully beats up on XYZ, A comes out and challenges bully, A wins and celebrates with XYZ". And it's fine like that.

Jericho doesn't have to win to get over here. He could have an equal bout with the legend and lose, which I think is the best way to go here. It sends the fans home happy and gives Jericho a bit of chip on his shoulder.

His whole career is a giant chip on his shoulder. Maybe it's time for him to finally step his game up and back up what he says in the ring. I know you're probably right about the way it would actually go, but I'm clinging to this chance that maybe....JUST MAYBE...they'll put Jericho on a level I think he deserves to be on.

Xero, are you Hulk Hogan?

I'm really just trying to get my mark on at Wrestlemania, if you don't mind.

Well let me ask you something, brother. Why would you ask that, dude? We've been through so much, man.

Obviously, I'm not Hulk Hogan, brother.

The lie detector has determined that Xero is not Hulk Hogan!

That's right, Velcro Moe.

But the lie detector has also revealed that Xero IS the father...

:rofl:

It’s going to be Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Krimzon has got a point.... I voted for Austin, but think its gonna be Lawler who accepts an "Open Challenge" type match for WM

If its just a quick segment, then Austin will come out and deliver a stunner, drink beer, blah blah blah. But if its an ACTUAL match, Austin is way too fucked up to actually get in a full on match anymore, so from that I can't tell.

But since its probably not going to be an actual "match", Austin will be there for Jericho.

Austin going over Jericho helps no one. It makes Jericho look awful since he beat Austin before, yet now he can't beat him despite the fact that Austin hasn't wrestled in years. Furthermore, when you do have a built up heel, you don't blow the buildup by having him lose to a guy who won't be around. It makes no logical sense. If Austin were to come in to answer the "challenge" and Jericho beat him though, it would be huge. Jericho would look that much more dangerous, and he would brag that much more. Then, when you do have someone get the best of him, it actually does something for them too, and helps the roster.

So, yeah, Austin winning helps no one, Jericho winning helps not only Jericho, but other people he wrestles in the future.

Austin going over Jericho in a close match doesn't necessarily HARM Jericho, either.

This is the type of storyline built up only for Mania and for fan service. Jericho's a huge heel and they're setting him up to go against a huge babyface. The heel winning in this situation, compared to previous WWE booking, makes zero sense.

Austin losing the night after his HoF induction really brings the mood down and would be a stupid move. Anyone with a brain can see that.

This is moot anyway, because no way it'll be Austin. Also remember the original plan was (and may still be) Rourke. Jericho going over Rourke doesn't help him at all. In fact, if Rourke gave him any kind of trouble in the ring it would make Jericho look weak.

Out of that list, definitely Austin. They'll probably swerve the world and bring in Randy Savage though.

Tedious, that would swerve Vince too! and Tripps, seeing as that's the guy who popped his wife's cherry!

Clearly, Austin would be our favourite... Don't think it'll happen, though.:(

why are we so hard for Austin? what if he takes one back bump and doesn't get up? Isn't his neck super fucked up? THat is the last motherfucker that needs to step in the ring. Lawler should do the match, with Jericho and him going back and forth. Have some legends run in, get the code breaker, and have Austin come in, deliver the stunner, and give Lawler the pinfall. Any other way, and we'll get Stone Cold Christopher Reeves.

Is that what you want?

Apparently Austin can "go for another two years" if he wanted to. He's also in very good shape compared to how he was before he left. Anything can go wrong, of course, and Austin doesn't have a great neck, but he trusts Jericho to work a good match with him.

If he trusts Jericho to protect his health and safety so much, then he might also trust Jericho enough to really put him over. Yeah, Xero is right, the cliched booking of this program would have the legends come out, fuck over Jericho, and allow the face (most likely Austin or Hogan) to get the win. But the smarter booking would be to put Jericho over, and really push him to the moon after Mania. You're going to have a face champion on RAW, most likely, in John Cena, so Jericho would make a great immediate foil for him.

Yes. That's exactly it.

Here we go: Another round of "Guess When the Wrestler Will Die Because We Know More About Their Health Than They Do!" If Austin competes at WrestleMania, I'm sure it's because Austin can compete at WrestleMania.

Anyway, I agree with Innovator. If it were Steamboat in his prime, I'd definitely go with that. Jericho vs. Steamboat is a bit of a dream. Unfortunately, Steamboat looks way too old. He'd still have the knowledge to have a good match, though, I am sure.

Would have been a perfect time for Mick Foley.

Out of that list,i would say Austin, but don't agree with the choices at all tbh.

I wouldn't want Stone Cold to do the job anyqho's. He shouldn't fuck up his moment. He's going in, tons of Fanfare, home state yada yada. I stick to my guns with him running and stunning at the most.

I don't see why Jericho HAS to go over. Whoever he faces, the match is basically for Jericho to get his ass kicked for what he's been doing/saying to the legends and a loss certainly wouldn't hurt how over he is as a heel.
