The New Chris Jericho

So is eveyone loveing the new non midcard Jericho, i think its the best thing he's done for a very long time and hope that he has a halfway decent run with the belt, really looking forward to him going over michaels at the ladder match, then screwing batista some way at no mercy, or what would be better is losing the ladder match getting in on the JBL Batista match, winning then screwing HBK somehow.

Great to see Jericho as a bad-ass heel instead of the whiny chickenshit heel Jericho...his heel turn has been perhaps the best thing WWE done this year...that and giving a title run to Punk. Hope he goes over Michaels at No Mercy...Shawn doesnt need the win!

The more i think about it, the more i suspect the loseing then winning back the belt idea may be the case, would be a great way to get heat on him, then he could boast about compeating in 3 matches in one night and still coming out champion, good things happen to good people.

It's interesting how working solidly for the company for 5 or so years led to nothing but returning from a few years away has been very beneficial to his career...

He had to change his gimmick if he wanted to be a main eventer. He'll probably change back to it in a couple of years Swerve~! See: Undertaker, the.

Nice to see him up there instead of Cena.

That's what i'm dreading. Cena coming back to destroy the evil evil Y2J, sorry my bad Chris Jericho.

It's ironic that it took the complete botching of the Save Us 222 angle for Jericho to actually get over. The fact that he is such a fantastic heel at the moment, almost makes the burying of CM Punk bearable. Would have liked to see him recruit more of HBK's Academy Graduates into a mini stable, especially Paul London and the rumoured Bryan Danielson, but it's good to see Cade getting a well deserved push at long last!

I just hope that the low Raw ratings over the past couple of weeks don't make WWE panic and take the belt off him too soon!

What's to say that he won't wheel ot first Cade and then London to help him win the ladder match?

Because the back office folk dont like paul london apparently.

They havren't liked him since he grinned his arse off in the build-up to Vince's limo exploding!

I think its more an attitude thing now.

As much as I love Sydal, it pisses me off that he's allowed to do a SSP when London has been restricted from doing it for years.

He was aloud to do it of the apron to make snitsy look strong.

Yeah... something tells me London wasn't going to get over by doing SSPs purely from a selling standpoint. He had two high flying finishers and they banned them both.

There was an element of sarcasm to my post.

It's kinda hard to recognise sarcasm on the internet when you don't use any emotes.

Are you drunk per chance dub?

No... how come?

Just we've been on the same board long enough for you to know that im not the kind of person thats really going to counter argue your frustrations at one of your favorate wrestlers being restrected from using his finishe, with the one time that he did it to sell for someone else..... or maybe i just am that much of a dick head

You know where my vote is going.


Great to see Jericho in the main event, it's been a while coming.

I really like the new Jericho.

He is such a bastard and during the whole HBK feud he has been awesome. Gotta give HBK a little credit too but for me the main man to tune in to RAW for is Jericho.

Not a huge fan of his ring attire yet but slowly getting used to it. COuldnt believe it when he was wearing trunks.

Jericho is the heel that Edge should have been on SD!

The absolute outrage he has caused since turning is a better indication of how well he is doing and, unlike Edge, he has done it largely "by himself."

Edge needs to be Rated R to have any impact...the cowardly stuff just doesn't work.

Incidentally...on the subject of heels...anyone else think that Orton is turning face?

Nah, he's just claiming how RAW has become shit since he got injured. That's why he's calling everyone out. When he get's back full-time he's probably gonna stay Heel.

The fans might inadvertantly turn him though.

He's been Austin-ish in his calling people out just because he can.

Cant see him turning, he hates being a face and he's awfull at it so theres no point

He's not bad at being a face, he's just supreamly awsome at being a heel and by comparrison...

Well London screwed his up a several times.

Sydal hits his picture perfect every time and is yet to screw his up.

When did London ever mess his up? They banned the moves because Kidman (SSP) and Juventud (450 Splash) fucked up.

I never saw London fuck up that move in WWE!!!!!!

Agreed, he was pretty poor at it. However there are one too many heels on RAW now with Kane, Jericho, Regal, Santino, Priceless etc.

Batista can't sustain face main-eventing because he has lost a dozen PPV title matches in the last 18 months or so and HBK is banged up. Rey is so ring rusty it's unbelievable.

Perhaps Orton will be the face "anti-face" type?

Batistas perma over, he could lose clean to a blind midget and still be over.
