CM Punk needs clean and decisive victories over atleast 2 of the "Big 5" in the WWE

It's too bad that the WWE didn't do anything with that. You would think that they would continue to push a talented guy like Jericho after beating one of the top stars cleanly and decisively. Makes no sense. All they ultimately did was undermine Batista instead of making Jericho look like a legit champ.

How did Jericho lose the title anyways? Despite my postings on here, I actually don't watch wrestling a whole lot anymore (haven't watched full-time since 2005). My guess is that he got spanked by Cena.

EDIT - http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/11032008/

"In spite of the thorough beating Jericho received at the hands of Batista little more than a week before, the first-ever Undisputed Champion managed to once again slip away with a win by way of his underhanded tactics, bludgeoning The Animal with a steel ring wrenched from the cage surrounding them."

I really hate that. So basically, according to the article, Jericho got absolutely shit kicked by Batista a week earlier, and then basically beat Batista in a very flukey way (i.e. managed to once again slip away). See - I don't mind heels resorting to cheating in order to win. What I DO have a problem with however, is when a heel is made to win while also being made to look *way* inferior (as was the case with Jericho).

"This reign would last until the 2008 Survivor Series, where Jericho lost to the returning John Cena." (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_J...BatistaCage-73)

So basically, Jericho then gets spanked by a returning John Cena....which then basically re-enforces the idea that Jericho was nothing more than just a transitional champ.

Pretty much.
