Chris Jericho is one of the smartest men in the history of the wrestling business
Every interview I have seen of him has proved that he understands the industry both as an from an entertainment and a business. He knew exactly how to develop a character, and did so better than anyone else in WCW even though he was in the undercard. He knew WCW was a sinking ship and jumped to the WWF at the perfect time, where he became one of the biggest stars in wrestling. He is probably the only guy his size and the situation he was in that could have become as successful as he has become.

Jericho taking time off from the business was also a good move. In my opinion, it raised his stock, and got him away from a position where he may have never won another World Title, to becoming one of the most valuable talents on the roster.

To actually be relevant: I definitely agree with DrA; was actually thinking the same thing when I read this: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/spor...jericho_2.html some days ago. |

Jeff is doing the same thing IMO, take some time off, come back and get a super push with no strikes against your record with regards to wellness policies

Has it been confirmed that the wellness policy resets when you re-sign?

I'm actually pretty sure that a fresh Jeff Hardy on RAW would actually be pretty exciting stuff.

I for some reason have liked Raven and want to see him make it big, but never see him going anywhere good. He is defiantly not making Jericho money

You know what would be a GREAT WAY for him to become a face is when little shit happens to Big Show or stuff in the back or him looking at some old WCW footage and he chuckles a little bit. Maybe bringing up to the Big Show how he came up with stuff and BS just looking at him like "wtf". The more stuff he sees, the more he'll do the dancing feet taunt, or some of his old trademarks.

He was a heel in WCW, though.

At least during the stint you're referring to. I'd shit myself if I saw him lean back into the crowd like he did as a face with his "Basketball Music #17" theme song.

I always like in WCW when he would do the one leg standing on you pin flexing his muscles. Jericho was Mr. Monday Night

"Lightning Foot" Jerry Flynn is completely capable of kicking your fucking head straight off your neck, so I suggest you show him the respect he deserves.

@ABT
He would become a face instantly with people looking at his old stuff. And Jericho laughing at those "old times" would make him..less like a douche bag, i guess? IDK, i just think it would be cool to see: GUY IN THE BACK: (watching old Jericho WCW footage) Hey, look what i found, Chris. Remember this guy? JERICHO: (laughs a little bit, starts to go into the Ralphus Ninja idea then stops)..HEY HEY, i don't know who this guy is. He was a loser, a nobody, a parasite. You're looking at the REAL Chris Jericho. GUY: Ok man, gotcha. Jericho walks off and hears the guy in the background say one of his catchphrases i.e. "Don't you boo me!" or "Never....eeeeeeeever.." Jericho pauses, smirks a little, then keeps walking. |

I agree. His talents and wits have definitely gotten him where he is. He's small, he came from WCW, and HHH hates him...and yet he holds a high position both in the WWE main event scene and in the company. That's pretty unreal.
WWE knows how talented he is. I don't think it's a coincidence that they march him out for their programs with Mickey Rourke, Shaq, etc. They know it will be all over mainstream TV and they want a great talker who doesn't look like a living cartoon. He's almost like their ambassador. Anytime there's promotion or media, he's the one who gets sent to do the interviews. When the whole Benoit thing happened, he wasn't even with the company and he was one of the only guys who was able to articulate himself and not make the WWE look like a total circus. That whole incident probably raised his level in Vince's eyes too. I can't imagine Vince thinking he's anything less than an ideal employee. He can work all over the card as a heel, a face, a champion or a midcarder. He doesn't seem to have any attitude or politics that create problems. He's never been injured (knock on wood), and as far as we know has no substance issues that could land him in hot water. |

I personally think that he's the Kobe Bryant of the WWE. He has an all-around game, can carry a company on his back, and like you said is a good ambassador for the WWE. I mean, the guy can have so many dimensions to his character that he could even team with CM Punk right now if they wanted to. I honestly think that he did more for the wrestling business that HHH, which is why HHH probably hates him because he knows it. You notice that they haven't fueded yet because Jericho would blow him out of the water when it comes to the workrate in the ring and mic skills..i mean, HHH is a good mic man, but all he'll do to Jericho is make jokes and do DX shit. Jericho has been there and done that. I mean, if Jericho turned face now, i bet with all of my money that if both were pushed the right way, Jericho would be the favorite. I mean, he is trying to make himself as much as an asshole and he could be, and he's still getting Y2J chants..c'mon.
