Seriously, Jericho deserves better than he's gotten lately. He hasn't been the same since Triple H won the Undisputed Title off him at Wrestlemania X-8[in 2002]. Since that time, Jericho has basically been stuck in the upper-mid card level & hasn't been used in any interesting storylines[aside from coming up with the "Money in the Bank" ladder match @ Mania 21].

The Y2J versus HBK feud was booked for half a year in late 2002 and early 2003. It was one of the better buildups to occur in the WWE and ranks a little below the Batista/HHH buildup. Would have been a million times better if it was for the World Heavyweight Championship. Too bad the WWE chose to give the victory to HBK instead of Jericho.
I am not even going to get started on the PISS F'N POOR buildup to his WWE Undisputed Championship win.
Actually, I will.... I remember the WWE teasing a HUGE Austin Versus Rock match for the Vengeance ppv to determine the Undisputed Champion of the World. They teased it to death. They jobbed out Jericho on both Raw and Smack Down! the week Vengeance was to take place. Continued to tease the big Austin Vs. Rock match. Teased it some more. Then they do not deliver the Austin Vs. Rock match which will automatically piss off half the audience. Then made all the Jericho matches a complete clusterfuck with everybody and their momma's interfering to help Jericho win the title.
Just absolute horrible booking.
