Does Y2J have a shot at winning at Summerslam?

[Guest TysonTomko420]

Maybe he does? i think he has like 6 months left on his contract and they were worried about whether he will sign a new one. i was thinking why doesnt WWE have Cena lose the title to Jericho at Summerslam, Hold it for like a month or so and drop it on a Raw to Shelton, RVD, or basically whoevers over at the time. That champ holds it for 2 months or so and loses in the Elimination Chamber match to Angle. set up a HHH vs Kurt fued. HHH eventually becomes champ.

 

This then sets up Cena vs HHH for Wrestlemania. U can have them start a fued before the rumble and have Cena win the Rumble (i think having Cena and Batista as the last 2 with Cena winning this time would kick ass). Then have a match using Cenas title shot early at No Way Out or Raw (NWO if its Raw brand) and have interference from HBK reforming the original DX. Vince would then say hes giving Cena another Title shot at Wrestlemania in a HELL IN THE CELL

 

But yea giving Jerico a month long riegn might help convince him to sign. TNA must be tempting to jericho cause he would be champ and work like 3 days a month only (he has his band and stuff to work on)

[Guest Quik]

Jericho will carry Cena to a great match, but he'll ultimately lose via a botched FU. HHH comes back, starts a feud with Cena, wins the belt back at Survivor Series, and we get HHH/Chris Masters for Wrestlemania.

 

See, I can fantasy book too. Except mine's much more realistic.

I can answer this one real easy.

 

 

NO.

[JoeDirt 0]

No chance. He's just fill in feud material for Cena.

[Astro7x 0]

this idea you speak of... terrible

[TheFranchise 0]

I can't believe you haven't insisted Tomko should be in it.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

"Maybe he does?"

 

No.

 

"they were worried about whether he will sign a new one"

 

Incorrect.

 

"i was thinking why doesnt WWE have Cena lose the title to Jericho at Summerslam"

 

Because Cena is the most over star in WWE and a credible champion, while Jericho is a former champion whose credibility was destroyed in the eyes of the fans, and a has-been whose best matches were some 4-5 years ago.

 

"Hold it for like a month or so and drop it on a Raw to Shelton"

 

Brilliant. The same guy with no mic skills who just lost to Chris Masters.

 

"RVD"

 

LOL.

 

"That champ holds it for 2 months or so and loses in the Elimination Chamber match to Angle."

 

Sure, let's build a title match around the Elimination Chamber. Four problems with that. 1) There was just one in January. 2) The one in January drew DICK and no-one cared. 3) The Elim. Chamber has to have Triple H as a big heel in it or it'll be seen as even more worthless. And 4) Elimination Chamber matches suck.

 

 

"set up a HHH vs Kurt fued."

 

And this would be as lame as it was in 2000 and 2001.

 

"HHH eventually becomes champ."

 

And the sky will remain blue.

Jericho loses, and then teams with another lost soul and goes after Rosey and Hurricane. I keep forgetting those two are tag champs.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

And by the way, "giving a guy WHO HAS ALREADY HAD THE TITLE won't "sway" him".

 

I know you're apparently 15 years old and all, but ITS A WORK. The title is a meaningless prop. Shut up.

[Dangerous A 0]

Jericho has no legs as a potential champion. He is there to put over Cena. Nothing more.

[Guest seth86]

I'm sick of ppl degrading Jericho just coz WWE have given up on him. He's still one of the top 3 workers on RAW. HBK and Hogan r 'has-beens'.

[cabbageboy 0]

In a bizarre way I almost hope they stun everyone and have Jericho win the title via some devious means. Cena can get the title back with no long term harm done and it'd do wonders towards re-establishing Jericho as a serious threat.

[iggymcfly 0]

I'd like to see Jericho as champion, but there's no way that it will happen. The fact is that to even have a heel champion right now, there has to be at least one major face turn because the face side's so depleted. And besides, if they were going to do a heel champion, they have much better options than Jericho. He's old, he's somewhat stale, and he has no credibility whatsoever. I mean can you imagine Jericho vs. anyone but Cena main eventing a PPV right now? They wouldn't even let him have Summerslam if Hogan/HBK wasn't there to carry the show.

 

Basically, he's a nice, entertaining feud for Cena heading into Summerslam. I would like to see them get the belt off of Cena, but even I recognize that they'll have to wait until at least No Mercy. If they did want to do it, Shawn Michaels would probably be a much better choice as he's fresh off a heel turn, and would have tons of credibility coming off a win over Hogan. Two or three months is plenty of time to turn Angle face, and and Angle/HBK feud could easily last from the end of the Cena feud until Wrestlemania.

 

The Jericho idea though? Completely impractical and counterproductive. It would be fun for one night, but it would hurt business tremendously over the next six months.

[Angle-plex 0]

For some reason I see HBK staying/going back to being a face after this thing with Hogan is done, or they're at least keeping the option open with how he's acted so far.

 

I think Jericho has a better chance than most here do, but Cena's probably going ot keep the belt.

I am pretty certain Jericho's contract expires relatively soon, by the end of Sept at least, if not end of August. It seems clear to me he is nothing but obvious fodder for putting over Cena huge to establish Cena on the Raw brand more significantly before a HHH return and inevitable feud with Cena-HHH. I seriously wouldnt be surprised if Jericho doesnt resign either, by the way. The timing of this all is pretty straight forward - they figure he might as well be the major fall guy to the new star on his way out. WWE has no intentions of re-establishing Jericho as a title threat long term, period.

I'm pretty certain he already resigned.

If you could find some source to back that up, that would be great - I havent heard anything about that.

Jericho will never be champ again. The fans most likely won't buy him as champ, seeing how much he's been buried in the past. Ever since he lost the belts to HHH in 2002, the fans haven't really taken him seriously.

I believe Jericho is viewed by many as a legit contender for the belt-and yes, I do believe the Belt means something-it has heritage, Hogan, Bruno, Savage, Buddy Rogers, Bret Hart, HBK, Superstar Billy Graham have carried that Strap with class and honor, so the CHampionship does mean something to a lot of fans-

 

I could see Jerciho winning to set up a Cena champiosnhip chase all the way to Wrestle-Mania-

 

Say Jerciho wins, HHH comes back as a face, fueds with Jericho wins the belt back, HBK as a heel challenges for the belt, HBK wins the belt from HHH and Cena gets Shawn Micheasl at Mania for the belt...

 

I don't want to see anymore HHH, but theres nothing we can do about it, he's coming back and he's going to win the Title sooner or later, but yes, I can see Jericho winning, it won't happen likely, but who knows?

[Black Lushus 0]

if you don't think HHH is going to somehow be fighting for the title or fighting to keep the title at WM22, you are insane and obviously haven't watched wrestling the past 3 years...

[SuperJerk 0]

This kind of begs the question of how they'll get the belt off Cena and onto Triple H before Wrestlemania without them facing each other in a one-on-one match.

 

I'm kind of assuming Triple H will be the heel champ and Cena will be the face challenger, since that's the story they've done for the Main Event at almost every other WM.

[Guest SoZe]

Chamber has to have Triple H as a big heel in it or it'll be seen as even more worthless. And 4) Elimination Chamber matches suck.

 

 

I won't argue your opinions on EC matches sucking, or the fact that they do not need to run another one so soon after the last. However, New Year's Revolution, which featured the last EC match, drew 370,000 PPV buys, which is slightly above "dick." In fact, that's a huge ppv buy, considering it ran in the same month as the Royal Rumble.

Hey, knowing how much WWE loves rematches at the moment, to the point that the feud is dead half way through, Jericho may well win the title, then lose it again at Unforgiven.

 

But then again, this Chris Jericho we're talking about.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

We all know HHH has lost two consecutive matches @ WrestleMania and many are saying it's possible he won't want to lose a third consecutive match. Is it therefore possible to assume we'll get HHH-Cena for the WWE Championship only to have a repeat of WM 16 when HHH leaves with the belt as the heel and buries Cena in the process?

[cabbageboy 0]

Idea: Have HHH do something else. If he is at WM going against Cena, he 100% has to job. It might sound goofy but doing this same dreary angle every year is going to get played (HHH as heel champ, jobs at WM to _____, gets constant rematches). There's only so many times you can do it.

I disagree. If WWE would put the title on JBL (and have him keep it for such a long time), they'd do anything. Jericho might win the belt again once WWE has exhausted all of their ideas. It's something that they'd save for a really crappy year.

- Chris Jericho at Slamboree 1998

[BHK 0]

scenario A:

 

Cena drops the Title to jericho who jobs to HHH at Survivor Series, as the two haven't feuded since the buildup to WM 18.

 

HHH beats a newly face turned Angle(or they could do heel/heel) at RR. Cena wins the RR, Cena beats HHH at WM XXII.

 

Scenario B: Jericho loses to Cena who drops the title to HHH at SUrvivvor Series, beats Face/Heel Angle, Cena wins the Rumble, and then beats HHH to regain the title at WM 22.

 

 

Scenario B seems more likely.

 

they could also save Kurt/Hunter for Wretlemania, as the two last had a match in.what was it? 2000? They'd be fresh becsue they haven't feuded in so long. I doubt it though.
