Could they be giving Jericho the tag titles...

[Guest Brian]

Triple H is in need of face opponents. So what they're doing with Jericho is trying to establish the Christian/Edge vibe in less time, only with a better worker and promo man in Jericho. Do you think it'll work?

[Guest evenflowDDT]

It could work, but wouldn't you have to turn Christian as well? Given that he didn't cut his hair like the WWE wanted him too, I doubt they'd "reward him" with a turn. Then again, a turn isn't a guarantee for a push either.

[Guest Brian]

Just get the guys being funny, do the break-up, have Jericho interrupt Flair and HHH cleebrating another victory and instant Jericho face.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

True, but we all know what happened the last time Jericho and HHH clashed...

[Guest Human Fly]

Jericho as a face could work, but after he get's buried by HHH then what? I think he will stay a heel just because of a lack of upper card heels on Raw.

I think he will stay a heel just because of a lack of upper card heels on Raw.

It'll keep Jericho from getting buried by HHH in a PPV match again anyway, and then there's the fact that he was getting stale in his WWE face run with his micwork and even ringwork.

[Guest Anglesault]

They gave him the title for the same reason they are giving either Angle/benoit, Eddy/Chavo or Rey/Edge the SD! titles. To keep him from doing anything meaningful.

"How U Doin'" Jericho + 5 second pose Opera Christian = good tag team.

On that whole "How YOU doin?" thing, I'm not getting the whole Candian mocking an Italian-American thing...whatever...maybe Jericho is Italian-Canadian?

I think they just stuck the belts on Jericho/Christian to hotshot them over to Booker/Goldust. If they wanted to set-up a Jericho/Triple H feud, then they should have alligned them together when Jericho was IC champ and have them run roughshot over RAW to build to their eventual break-up and feud. Similar to what they had planned for Austin/Triple H before Hunter tore his quad.

 

But assuming that the WWE actually has plans for this team, I think Jericho could easily work as a face. He's one of those guys with that natural charisma that draws people to want to cheer him. He didn't have a storyline for the greater part of 2 years and the fans still bought all his merchandise and ate up everything he said.

 

Jericho could best fill the Rock-style babyface role if they would ever push him strong. But a face turn would inevitably lead to Triple H squashing him anytime he got too popular so it would be pointless.

Jericho would make a great face if they actually gave him some credibility and made him look strong. Maybe if he and Triple H face off if that happens Jericho could actually shoot and put HHH in the REAL walls of jericho against H's will, and thus forcing an injury by refusing to let go. Hehehehe, most people won't even realize it's a shoot. Well, I can dream can't I??!!!

well its a 2fold trick:

 

1) shrill Stacker2

2) Sopranos is the enemy

 

also anything that Jericho does now that does not involve said Canadian doing the cry baby gimmick is a good thing. Plus its one step closer to the WCW Jericho everybody loves

 

Yeah Bay-Bee
