Chris Jericho, Jobber to the stars

Recommended Posts

when you're jobbing cleanly to 50 year old men.. your career is pretty much dead in the water.

 

You had a good time Chris.. it's a shame you had to resign.. instead of going somewhere where you're allowed to WIN matches.

 

The last time Jericho won a singles match on TV was July 4th, 2002.

 

He's coming close to 2 months without a singles victory.

 

Chris, just quit now. You can sit at home and take singing lessons until your contract runs out.

I think jobber to the stras is too high for Jericho. At this point, he is just a plain old jobber. Heck, I will be shocked if he is not jobbing to Justin Credible on Heat next week.

Wouldn't this be a way to get Jericho into the Unamericans? Jericho gets screwed by an American Ref and finds his place leading the canadian heel group. They need a solid mic leader, and Jericho needs a gang behind him to 'back up' his talk. The unamericans need Jericho and Jericho needs them... Makes sense.

Stop the world, I agree with Anglesault...

 

If they were going to put Jericho over Flair at any point, why not tonight?

Jericho's gonna say that Flair tapped, and the win doesn't count. Rematch at Unforgiven.

It's the second-biggest show of the year. A win in a rematch won't mean near as much.

 

He shoudl have gone over TONIGHT, dammit. Flair didn't need the win, Jericho badly did.

And how many times has HHH actually been in the ring in those two months?

normally i'd bitch, but i don't care. it was a damn good match, flair proves he STILL has it, & jericho sold the leg beautifully.

 

jericho probably wanted to lose this match. had it been decided otherwise, i don't think it would've ended with a figure 4 (cause, let's face it, nobody taps to the figure 4). i think it was the little mark in him that wanted him to be able to say he fought ric flair at summerslam & lost to the figure 4.

You guys are forgetting Flair still has his "announcement" to make, most likely it's about his retirement. He isn't going to retire until he got his win over Jericho, is he? If this is the case, it would unfortunately mean no retribution for Jericho, but that's how I reason the booking of the finish.

In my review (which you can all find in my sig), I asked a rhetorical question. When was the last time Jericho had a single's PPV victory? No Way Out in February. The last CLEAN one.....SummerSlam 2001.

If he retires without letting Jericho be the one to retire him I am going to be pissed off beyond belief. Christ even Hogan let someone get over on him before leaving for however long.

Yeah, but take into consideration that Jericho turned heel around October 2001, and heels almost never win cleanly. And that win at No Way Out was a successful Undisputed Title defense against Steve Austin, not just any old win.

 

As far as last night goes...with everyone bitching about how Ric Flair had become a JTTS, something had to give. Flair needed a win more than Jericho, because Flair hasn't won a big singles match in quite some time himself.

Ok, even so, Jericho's last PPV win 6 months ago, while Flair's was at King of the Ring.

 

If I were a promoter, I'd put Jericho over Flair because it makes no sense to job the younger talent at the expense of someone who is treated like a JTTS, especially when Jericho was Undisputed Champ just a few short months ago.

Flair will come out and try to make his announcement again tonight, but Jericho will interupt him scream "you tapped you son of a bitch" and somehow get a rematch based on either the low blow or rather or not Flair tapped.

 

Flair winning a match or two before Jericho wins would actually make the win mean more then Jericho beating Flair in their first ever match.

 

I don't think they will do the match at more then two ppvs, but if they did i'm figuring that Flair will "cheat to win" in the rematch.

The thing with Jericho and Flair is that both of them could use some wins to re-establish some credibility. That's why they shouldn't have been fighting each other.

 

I'd love to see this feud again with both of them established as threats. But they were both doing the jobber tour before they got involved.

 

Jericho badly needs a change to justify a winning streak. The guys on Heat job less than he does.

 

Anothing thing that pisses me off. Since Wrestlemania, we've established the following:

 

Jericho can't beat HHH. But HBK can.

Jericho can't beat Rick Flair. But Vince McMahon can.

 

Sigh.

WHAT?! What selling? Flair slapped the Figure 4 on with no prior work done on the leg and Jericho tapped out in four seconds! How the FUCK does selling come into play if his leg wasn't hit once before that?

Sigh.

That's some flawed logic there. In that case, we've also established that Kurt Angle can't beat The Rock, but Stephanie can. And also that Stone Cold can't beat Jericho, but John Cena can.

I still cant fathom why they did this unless they needed more faces to go over because they had planned that Brock would be the heel. Flair isnt even full time and you have 2 part timers go over full time guys? Doesnt make sense
