I was also thinking about how great it would have been if the situation of 2001-2002 was switched between Jericho and Triple H. Right as Jericho was beginning to get massively over as a legit Main Eventer, he has an injury. Yadda yadda yadda, Triple H would have stayed heelishly tweener during the InVasion, then Hunter becomes the first Undisputed Champion. Jericho gets the massive face ovation for his comeback, wins the Rumble, then goes on to take the title off of Triple H in Canada at WrestleMania. Steph would have been in Hunter's corner, Jericho could have continued on with riding the Stephanie is a whore joke. Basically, I think if the situation had been reversed, Jericho would have solidified himself a spot in the Main Event much better than being the guy to unify the belts. Plus the big Face Jericho/Heel Hunter pay of match would have been built up for years. Shit they could have played the clip of Jericho winning the title on Raw over and over again.

Plus, and this is coming from a HUGE Jericholic...it was the wrong time to put the title on Jericho. He was still kind of tweenish, and he didn't have the prestablished credibility to bring the WCW and WWF Titles together. Hunter did however, and would have been a SOLID heel. One of the worst matches in recent memory as far as timing and planning. Pretty ok match itself, but terribly executed angle wise.
