Let's make something clear here: BDC is going the BDC route. On the other hand, BDC may be a jerk on here for the sake of being a jerk, but I also believe he's fairly sincere in terms of not liking Jericho. Or at least, not deep throating him. I'm not sure it goes to the extremes people assume, but then....

As for the topic at hand...I think we need to bare in mind that, having been back a mere 4 months, that Jericho is probably only now hitting his stride. He was gone for a long time, regardless of training you don't just step back out into the ring (or on to the pitch / rink / field / court, etc) and pick up where you left off.
I don't expect him to be at his peak the moment he debuts, but I expected more than I saw from him. Especially in terms of mic skills, which really shouldn't suffer from the same kind of "ring rust."

In those 4 months he's had 2 singles matches on PPV. His opponents were Orton and JBL. How many 4 - 5 star matches have those 2 guys ever put on?
And if he wasn't being hyped to a level that nobody could live up to....

Quote:
Personally I think it takes 2 (or however many guys are in the match) of the very top talents in the game to step into the ring on the right night to get anywhere near 5 stars.
A good worker can carry a mop to something near 5 stars. Maybe not a true five star epic, but close?

Orton's actually pretty easy to make look good. He's boring, but he's low maintenance as far as carrying a match. Only a few people can make JBL look like a good wrestler, but really, every match I've seen Jericho in since his return has been lackluster. I'm sorry. I like Jericho, but two things seem clear to me:
  1. Chris Jericho should have probably waited to return. He left because he was burned out, and he seems to still be
  2. The IWC seems to fawn over him no matter how good or bad he is.
