I once felt exactly like you, honestly. I truly thought he was the next "torch carrier" in line from Hogan, Bret, Shawn, Austin, The Rock.
I've always whined about how he wasnt given his due, and in a lot of ways I still maintain this to be true. He definitely was given the shaft somewhere between 2000 and 2002. And it wasn't his fault. However as time goes on I learn not to focus on the negative completely. We Jerichoholics and most intelligent wrestling fans know what could have been, but we can't change what was. Nevertheless, he had/may still have a great career in professional wrestling. He's held just about every title in the industry. Hes given us all these great moments and had a lot of great moments and accomplishments. Put us total Jericho-marks in the shoes of those who are the same way about other wrestlers. Things could be worse, much worse.
And besides, its not over til the fat lady sings. If its any consolation, sometimes it takes absence for someone to notice. Jericho returning to the WWE would make him as over as ever, and an ace in the hole in a time where they need over, charasmatic, youthful but veteran talent.
Perhaps we haven't seen the best of Jericho yet...
