I agree with Fox. That's just the way I see it. Jericho should have been capitalized on in 2000, but he wasn't. Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock always had upwards mobility. They tried to mimic it with Chris Jericho, by having him win IC Title after IC Title, but by then things had changed, wrestling had boomed again, and what people wanted was a very "now, now, now" atmosphere. It was the Attitude era, and things were crazy. It should be the John Cenas and Randy Ortons that are lingering in the mid-card, gaining experience, and stewing for a while, but that's just my opinion.

I disagree about one thing, though. I'm not going to say he will be, but I think if Jericho returned and immediately took to the main event, and was put over as a big deal, I think that he would regain any status he once held in the WWE with the fans. He might not boom wrestling, but I think he can be its current biggest star.
