That's how much I feel he's gone down hill. - He's had plenty of time btw to construct even a worthwhile chuckle from his once legendary promos.

Get this right before some fuck argues. I don't HATE him. I just couldn't even give a fuck about him anymore. Money not well spent by Vince if he's on a hot salary as reported.
That's the crux of the matter.

It's no secret that Hunter gets more freedom than Jericho, despite both deserving to not be a part of the scripted system

I think if he could be having 5 star matches out there, he would. But I don't completely clear him of any failure. He has had some good ones since coming back, in which he was given the oppurtunity to have good ones. He hasn't gotten that oppurtunity much.

But for instance, he got that oppurtunity last monday and he and CM Punk both sucked. I don't know what caused it but it's only their fault. If it was Jericho slacking there, then he was lazy. If it was Punk slacking, Jericho should have carried him better and vice versa. If it was both of them slacking, which it looked like, then it's both of their faults.

I don't know so much about it being about lack of freedom, though. Even close to his retirement, he was putting on good matches and cutting good promos, and he was better than he's been of late. While it's not impossible they cracked down on him even more, it seems unlikely, especially with the fanfare under which they brought him back.
