Why Doesn't Jericho's Return Generate the Same Grumblings as the Rock?

Probably because when he does come back, he comes back fulltime, working every tv show and live event. He also likely interacts with the locker room a lot more, helping the younger talent out, while it's been said by CM Punk that Rock generally keeps to himself and doesn't interact with anyone.

Also, it's pretty common knowledge that Jericho is all about putting people over himself.

For me its this. Rock is obviously the bigger draw and it dilutes from his 'Mania match if hes on TV wrestling every week but Jericho does the house show circuit and Raw/Smackdown/overseas tapings when hes under contract. I dont think either one should be grumbled at though, Rock has outside interests that are successful and that allow him to promote his wrestling appearances in the mainstream which is probably better for generating buzz than him appearing week in week out on Raw, Jericho not so much but you know he'll put someone over during his time and on the way out so both do more good than harm.

That pretty much sums it up!! Jericho is a true wrestler, Rock is there for ratings!
