Jericho is a guy I can buy and actually care about as a main eventer because when guys like Austin, HHH, and Rock were main eventing, he was in the mid card having great feuds and plenty of mic/promo time with the Y2J gimmick. Same thing with guys like Rock, Austin, HHH, even Kane got the same kind of development before being pushed as the top guys. Although Kane was never truly given permanent main event status, I don't think.

Yea, that was my point exactly. You can't be emotionally invested into a guy when there's nothing to emotionally invest into. Right now, I am hoping to God that they don't blow their load with Orton. He is, by and far, their most over face. They need to have his rise back to the top be a slow and steady journey. But, knowing the booking team, they will put the strap on Orton before the summer.
