Chris Jericho, I just don't know what to make of him

[zhangmeijie 0]

Zzzz, sorry what. Oh that was just me going to sleep and waking up all of a sudden. Anything to do with Chris Jericho in ring does that to me these days. You see Raw was meant to get a shot in the arm with Jericho's return. It was all meant to be the best thing since sliced bread. The hype was "off the chart" but then what?* Then Chris returned and... ...well here is what I think of Jericho.

 

 

*Actually it was good but not as good as some would have.

 

 

This is what I think

Chris Jericho: **** off back to your band or change your ways.

 

 

 

Personally I am always in Two minds about Chris Jericho firstly I have no respect for the man (not the wrestler mind the real life man) I will explain why in a moment. That said I also (usually) enjoy his Promos, actually they can be fantastic. As his war of words with the legends shows. His matches though, he can’t go 2 matches with out blowing more spots than a Diva. His matche(s) with Jeff Hardy and JBL for example reminded me of why I dislike him.

 

Jericho when he wants to be is one of the top 5 men in WWE he has had more than his fair share of 5 star feuds particularly with Chris Benoit, (Yeah I said his name) HBK & Christian. That said he is not (always) capable of carrying opponents who are not as good as him or who work styles who clash with him. As far as the former goes He couldn’t drag a good feud out of Sean Waltman, mind you few could at that period of Waltman‘s career. As for the latter his feuds with several people who clashed with him most notable being Kane & William Regal were very boring & seemed to drag on forever. When booked with the right opponent though as I said he is never less than highly entertaining.

 

Now as for the main reason why I don’t respect him very much it’s really simple the man can’t take criticism & won’t except that his matches are not always ‘great’. Case in point he has on more than one occasion done a shoot interview on the fans, especially the internet fans when they are disappointed with one of his matches. In Jericho’s mind he never has an off night that is quite clear.

 

Enough bashing though instead let’s explain what role I think Jericho should be playing in WWE today. It’s really rather simple the role he should be playing is the one he played at the end of his first WWE(f) run. Putting other main eventers over while staying at the bottom of the upper mid carders / lower main eventers. The reason I say that is because he is not really good enough to carry a show, true he is a superb talker & a good wrestler but he proved in his one title reign that he can’t carry a show nor it’s title.

 

The IC title gained some much needed prestige under Jeff and to a lesser extent Umaga’s reigns a while back. (It is still not defended enough but is at least on champions who are entertaining. Yes including JBL.) I hope Jericho can continue this and keep up the good name of the Title.

 

No doubt many people here will loudly & happily disagree with all or some of the above, but take a step back for a minute & think about what you are going to say when replying to this thread.

 

“You suck, Jericho is cool.” that would be an atypical reply by some, it would also be pointless instead take my main points (Jericho is not main event material, Jericho is not capable of carrying a lesser wrestler, Jericho blows moves far too often & lastly Jericho is an egomaniac to be exact) & counter argue or agree with them in a logical way that’s all I ask of anybody who replies to this.

Chris Jericho says "He's mentioned twice in your sig".

Indeed it was. Not exactly discussion about Chris Jericho though.

Oh, okay.

 

Wait here.

How can you make all these ridiculous brash claims about what Jericho is and isn't when you don't even know the guy?

 

Seems mighty ignorant to me.

think more, post less.

What points? You made no points! Jesus.

Sup internet.

Maybe you just dislike Jericho in general?

 

You've expressed a great dislike for him but you haven't actually made any points why he's not a main eventer, and why you feel he can't carry a title.

I don't get Jericho. He came back to job to stars from 70's.

It was pretty much just some incoherent name calling with no actual points being made.

Let's all bash the newbian!

I can see where you're coming from in the Jericho matches are 'boring' angle. Some of his matches are a little weak due to the blown spots, but I don't think it happens as much as you claim. His mic work is some of the best in the WWE weather he's Heel or Face Jericho.

I think I picked the wrong forum to...

 

A: Bash Chris Jericho

 

B:Expect well thought out replies to Chris Jericho threads

[PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! 0]

You are better than us... Probably.

For what it's worth I followed your advice, got bored about 20 seconds in and decided not to reply. So maybe you're right.

This forum is for Smart marks? Granted you all seem smart, but it didn't say its also for Bash every other person marks.

Jericho has been nothing short of awsome since his return. He is one of the few people to get the entire audience to cheer for Cena ( not the half cheer / half boos he usually gets ). I agree that he blows some spots in his matches here or there but he is also one of the best workers in the E.

His fued with HBK was great , he put over Cena , and his promos since he has returned are the best in the business. You cant blame him for being forced into the weak Legends angle. After what he has done in the last year he deserved a better match at Mania.

Rule of thumb around here. Don't make one of your first 20 posts or so a new thread unless you know it has legs. Also, before posting here, read some threads. This is not a place where nice kids play....most of us are assholes to people who make bold comments off of the bat that have no legs. If you have something to say that may piss off someone, feel free to say it, but for the love of God back up your statements.

The memories of theone posting about 15 threads a day when he joined are still fresh in all our minds so everyone's still on eggshells.

 

But yeah, it's never a good idea to make a lot of threads.

It would help if the topics were well thought out, intelligent discussions instead of a bunch of random rambling gibberish.

 

How the fuck you gonna write some nonsensical bullshit, then expect to get serious replies?

15 threads a day? I don't even think I've made 15 threads here EVER.

 

You're just still upset that I hopped on the bandwagon of hating your retarded ass for being obsessed with posting the latest wrestling scoop like your name is Scheme Gene Okerlund or something..
