I think Jericho is fed up with his current character and who could honestly blame him? Jericho has basically hit his peak and hasn't been the same since "the real career killer" Triple H won the WWE Undisputed Title from him back in 2002.

Since then, he's been kinda de-pushed back into the upper-mid card and hasn't really had any memorable feuds, although the one with HBK @ Wrestlemania 19 was an awesome match & candidate for match of the year. Jericho has basically been misused to the point of no credibility. And this so-called "losing streak" of Jericho's is further proof. Jericho is probably the 3rd best wrestler in the WWE behind Angle & Benoit, yet, he isn't used to his full potential. It's insane what the man can do inside the ring and how great an athlete that he truly is.

Instead, we are forced to watch as Triple H takes over RAW each and every single week. They may as well call it "WWE Monday Night HHH show" instead of "WWE Monday Night RAW", as the focus is always on Triple H. I have no real problem with HHH other than him always being the focus of the show. Ok, we get it. Triple H is good. He's proven it 10 times. Which is pretty much ridiculous considering Flair hadn't won nearly as many titles back in his day that early in his career. Point being, Triple H is too much the center of RAW. Meanwhile, you got guys like Jericho, Benoit, Benjamin, Christian, Edge, HBK, etc that could be the main focus of RAW and each guy is much fresher than seeing Triple H. This has been the major contributing factor to Jericho's currently "stale" character. Basically, no focus has been on him and he hasn't had a solid main-event type feud since he & HBK wrestled @ WM 19.

The only way for Jericho to get back any credibility would be to start winning, and soon. If it takes a heel turn, so be it. Jericho has always played the better heel IMO and would be better suited for main-events if turned heel. But, it's doubtful this will happen. It would be a real shame if Jericho were to walk away and retire from wrestling because the WWE writers are too pre-focused with HHH......
