Sorry but it's true.

In WCW jericho was just a straight forward arrogant heel with a bit of humour mixed in, a rip off of Shawn Michaels (but a good rip off) with the addition of a bit of self deprivation, simple, it worked, it was great. Excellent entrance music as well.

He was on a natural progression to the world title, 1 or 2 more years and he'd have been there. He could have been a face of the company guy in the late 90s early 2000s if given the chance.

When he went to the wwe they killed him day 1 by making rocky own him on the mic in his debut and from there on just never got it right with him. Yeah he had title reigns and stuff but he was never the man, never. He ALWAYS served to get other people over.

From mid 2000s onwards he's just been a guy who looks like a middle aged woman and over complicates all his gimmicks.

Diminishing returns.

Y2J was as good a wrestler as he ever would be when he was still a rookie.

jericho with ralphus was 100% his peak as a pro wrestler/sports entertainer
