I just say he may be a bigger name than Orton since Jericho was a pseudo-big name during wrestling's boom period and more people would be likely to remember him at least, if that makes sense.

Interesting point. But here is my anwer: :foc:

No, I kid, my real answer is during the boom period, Jericho was king of the WCW undercard, which means nothing. He came over to WWF had a nice battle of words with the Rock only to go directly to fueding with Road Dog and a leaving Ken Shamrock. Jericho never made it up the ladder during the boom period. He was champion after the downward spiral of WCW's death happened. He was never a big name during the boom. His biggest accomplishments we victory over guys looking to leave, then he got lazy, quit, came back and is king of the undercard again.

Orton on the other hand has been in some of the biggest angle for a while. He is champion and has be going over some of the biggest and most popular names of this era including HHH, Cena, HBK, Jericho, and Jeffy Hardy.

So from a historic stand point, if you want to look at Jericho selectively he might just edge out Orton as a bigger name. If you look at the here and now, Orton is by far a bigger name than Jericho. If they would put Orton in singles matches again Cena, and HHH and other faces, people would pay to see Orton lose. But it is hard to tell right now because it has been cluster fucks lately.

I was never a fan of him back when I started watching, but even uninitiated into the WWE's workings as I was, I accepted Jericho as a bigger star than you're giving him credit for. He came out and got MASSIVE fan reactions. Like, they were just behind The Rock and Stone Cold. I used to think "I don't get why people like him so much."

Never really became a "mark" for Jericho until 2005, when it became so obvious how shitty everyone else was, and how much I wanted to see Jericho just shoot on Cena.

Orton is presented as the biggest name in wrestling at the moment. He is the WWE Champion. But if you take that away from Orton, I think Jericho is the bigger star of the two, simply because of his history in the business. Orton has been around for six years now, but he still feels sort of new. He's still very young.

Jericho just feels like more of a constant. I can see Orton being fired for sniffing cocaine and shitting in bags any day now. That's a bit of a stretch, but you know what I mean.
