Actually, I really didn't know where to go with the poll.
YES, Jericho was underused, which was evident in WCW, and now evident in WWE.
In WCW, Jericho had a program set up to feud with Goldberg (who was WCW champion at the time). This main-even push was haulted by head booker Kevin Nash, who believed Jericho's size was of concern. Long story short, Jericho never did get that push.
Upon entering WWE, Jericho's future seemed bright...at least for the first few months. A feud with Chyna, and a very long losing streak was remedied when he had his victory over HHH overturned. Of course, Jericho was buried afterwards, and the WWF/E wasn't excited about the possibilty of Jericho being a main event player when a particular episode of Raw revolved around him (this was when the Rock was out for a show, and WWF/E tested the attractiveness Jericho being the main face. I believe he had 3 matches that one night).
Or maybe Jericho was underused because McMahon disapproved of his size. In any case, Jericho cleaned poo...went on a losing streak...won the Undisputed title, but did anyone care? Yes, the internet fans did, but ultimately it was obvious that HHH would be champion and that Jericho would be headed towards the shackles of mid-carderdom.
In any case, Jericho has proven to be the most consistent performer on Raw for the past 3 years. His promos are top-notch (although I think he is slacking lately), and his wrestling is terrific.
Wrestling fans are quick to forget, and Jericho's Undisputed title reign will not come to mind as fast as HHH domination of the World title for nearly 2+ years.
