Hogan at Wrestlemania 25?

Ideally they would have Jericho get this hypothetical big legend win at WM 25 and then keep pushing him and then give him that big win over the retiring legend.

I'm not sure when this program with the legends will end, or if it will result in another title chase, but that doesn't necessarily mean Jericho isn't "up there" or that beating an Austin or Hogan would be a waste. It would validate his claims and keep him hot without having him get involved with any of the title scene, which keeps your options open on where to go with him. He's held the title, and while he wasn't the "best" champion it makes him viable enough that he can already compete at that level and be a believable threat to the title, as opposed to Kane who has held the ECW title and the WWE title for one night, but is never really to be taken seriously.

But if someone does go out earlier than expected (say Orton gets injured) Jericho could very easily fill in and take the title whenever, and it would be credible. I just don't think his character is headed in that direction right now.
