I respectfully disagree. If you're calling people fools for assuming you meant the black "Jericho should never be near the title," then it's equally foolish to assume the white that Jericho being in a title match would drag the belt into the feud. Realise I am not calling you a fool, because I know you're not.

Jericho is not the one psychologically drained in this feud. He is in the driver's seat. He is owning this thing right now, got rid of his rival, and needs a new direction. He can't spend the rest of his nights just cutting promos about retiring Shawn Michaels. The World Heavyweight Title, as the Jericho character even said, is the next step. You tease that step with the Scramble, but then you pull Jericho out of it -- not the title into it -- and continue the Jericho/HBK program with a new chapter. Hell, Jericho moving on to bigger and better things is more likely to grab at HBK's goat than Jericho being all mopey about hitting Rebecca in the face.

I don't know how it could be considered rushed that Jericho would step into the scene. He just beat the World Heavyweight Champion in singles competition. If that doesn't get Jericho thinking about the World Heavyweight Title, nothing would, and nothing should. You have to keep in mind that Jericho is filling in for an injured competitor in the match.

It would not make sense for Jericho to go and get himself in another psychological-based feud with someone right after the Summerslam stuff, but going from a personal-based hatred to a professional-based program seems like a great way of adding some punctuation to one of the best programs the WWE has going right now. Having Jericho and HBK wrestling each other at every PPV from now until the end of the year would be more damaging to the feud than spacing it up a little, especially when they have a development that basically requires a given pause. Not to say that HBK and Jericho wrestling will ever be anything short of awesome.
