I hate to say it boys, but Jericho is done. There is nothing Chris can do to convince Vince & Co. to put the title on him. WrestleMania X-8 drew in a PPV buyrate of 1.6, which was the lowest rated Mania since 13 (the all time low by the by), and since we know WWE will never blame the over promotion of Hulk Hogan as being a partial contributed, coupled with the fact that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were Main Eventing (with Jericho has the side show) and we all know that anyone in the McMahon family is more over then god...so we are left with only one conclusion, Jericho ruined WrestleMania 18 (a wooping .58 lower then the year earlier).

Plus, honest to god, I don't think that Chris has the same passion he once had. I don't blame him, hell no one could. I notice it with Benoit and Guerrero after their title runs as well. Once you reach the top, I think they realised it wasn't for them. Not in terms of fans support, but more the backstage polotics which a flagship NEEDS to be involved with.

It's sad, but I look at it like this, Jericho is still entertaining, he is still over with the fans, and no one can ever take away the fact that he was the man who unified the WCW and WWF Championships. Jericho will go down as one of the best ever, hell Ricky Steamboat only held the World Title once, and after that he too went back to fued over the TV and US titles...so don't worry, just sit back and enjoy one of the finest entertainers ever and know that polotics suck, but fans, not promoters make icons...except Hulk...that was Vince's doing.
