Last we saw Jericho, 2 years ago, he got fired for not winning the title from Cena. Now he is back demanding a title shot against Orton. How does he have any claim to be #1 condender? I'm not sure if Orton and Jericho even have a match history together. And since Jericho has been back, he has only won a single match against Santino who is regularly getting beaten up by non-active has-beens. That proves Jericho is on par with has-beens not #1 contender.

Now, if Jericho started getting some high profile wins, and kepts a slow burning fued with Orton ducking and no-acknowledging him that would be cool.

BTW, I think Jeff Hardy should be the #1 contender right now. He has been on a role, he was the one the won the traditional Suvivor Series match. He is the IC champion and has been for a while now. Plus he is more over than Jericho is. Hardy should have a quick series with Orton while Jericho is racking up wins and have show down at like Mainia or something to that effect. Not just coming down on day 1 after not doing anything for 2 years and before that losing a bunch.

Santino has faced the likes of Chris Masters, Umaga, Ron Simmons, The Sandman, and Stone Cold. Now, with the exception of Stone Cold, none of those men have done anything near what Chris Jericho has done in his career.

He's a former WWE/F and WCW World Champion, as well as the first ever Undisputed Champion (despite how shitty the reign was). He's been popular in the world of Pro Wrestling for 10 years now, and his name is one that people respect and recognize.

He left wrestling because he was burned out. He's recharged himself and is now making his return. With the state of wrestling today, all of the injuries, the Benoit-murder drama, the shittyness of John Cena's title run, the poor writing spanning all 3 shows, it makes sense for an energetic showman like Chris Jericho to want to "save us" by taking the spotlight. And there is no other spotlight than the WWE Championship on Monday Night RAW.



Now, I realize that the return wasn't on par with, say, the heel turn of Hulk Hogan and the formation of the nWo, but FFS, he's been back for a full 2 hours and 15 minutes now. There's still time for greatness.
