It's deffinatly a double edged sword with Jericho. He is lazy, deffinatly more so on TV, from what I hear, but if you are given 5 minutes, with a shitly written finish, then it must be hard to motivate yourself to perform 100%. Not to mention what Carl said about most of the talent being shite anyway.

That said though, he gets paid a very good wage, and should put maximum effort in.

And the main point, the one I see as the crucial one. A wrestler who is supposedly one of the finest at his craft, should be able to carry pretty much ANYONE to a good quality wrestling match. Simple as that, as long as the other guy does as he's told, and has a few limbs, Chris Jericho should be able to make him look like a star. And himself for that matter.

He has his hardcore defenders, as can be seen in this thread. But not one of you are really saying he has been that great, just throwing out the excuses.
