Ignoring the fact that the "Undisputed Championship" was then treated as second place to so much, that title prestige means pretty much nothing, and that a couple of big wins doesn't change much in the world of wrestling, even if they're big names in one night...

...This has fuck all to what he's been doing for the last couple of years. It's not even a "What have you done with me lately?" Sort of thing, it's a "spot the trend" thing.

LOL. Okay, that was at least a K3.

I think the average fan would see Jericho as someone better than pretty much everyone on the WWE roster except maybe John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Batista and The Undertaker. Some might put Kane and Randy Orton ahead, too. I think Jericho definitely breaks into that group, though.

That kind of speculation is baseless and most likely wrong. "I really really want it to be true" does not make baseless speculation any more grounded.

On an amusing note, I got more hits for Umaga than Jericho on Google.

Orton got slightly more hits, and JBL got much less.

Matt Hardy almost got as many as Jericho.

Jeff gets a shitload more hits.

I'd do more searches, but I'm drawing a blank on who to search.

Big Show gets almost three times as many.

It's sort of a tiny ballpark. After JBL, Big Show, Matt and Jeff, and Umaga, other psuedo high profile wrestlers are either pointless to even ask (Triple H/Cena) or have name concerns that affect the outcome too much. (MVP/Kane)

I didn't do Big Show, Kane and a couple of others specifically because the results would be kind of slanted by certain factors. Big Show, for example, is a common phrase or phrase segment. Kane is fairly common, especially since you have Bob Kane, Carol Kane, and Knight Knight. So I tried for people I could get specific hits off of.

Its kinda ironic when you think about it. You watch ECW, which has something like 17 or so active male wrestlers, then you tune in to smackdown which is a decent B show, but isn't really deep (as evidenced by taker vs bats every week)

And then you look at RAW

Guys that are merely there to be (I'll use the term used) jobbers to the stars. Guys like Jericho, Carlito, Hardy pre suspension, Umaga. (despite me hating him) Guys that could be main eventers on either other show. Of course, WWE doesn't have any idea how to distribute their talent..

I'm off topic here. Anyways, I think he absolutely needs to move at the draft. The Save.us angle was a failure based on the fact that they A) bogged him down with garbage feuds after the feuds with Orton and B) didn't continue the feud with Orton, kinda like they forgot about it....

Given who and what is on RAW- the 'golden boy' of the company, the politicking son in law who apparently doesnt like Jericho and the incumbent champion who is once agin going to get crushed by said son in law. Its best he move to smackdown. Not like they'll be using him on RAW in the main event given how 'crowded' it is at the top

Well, they need guys who will make their shitty main eventers look good.

Noid, you are trying way to hard to put Jericho into where you think he should be while completely ignoring where he is. Not only that you are making a completely unwatchable product in the process. You have ppv that plow through a month's worth of storylines just to get Jericho into a cluster fuck match. You just don't get it. Jericho can not be a maineventer this year on Raw. If he was given a proper push, especially on ECW or Smackdown he could. But just isn't on the level you think he is.

And you know what?

Putting over main eventers isn't necessarily a bad thing. Jericho gets a paycheck, the smarks get to pretend the guy they like is more important than he is, the main event scene is slightly less abysmal than it otherwise would be, and so on.
