Jericho - What was the Point?

**ELNIOJR** · 05-02-2012, 09:42 AM

I think it's time so all of us can ask this question:

Jericho came back to CLAIM what he believes, was his. Everybody predicted him to WIN THE RUMBLE and fact is, he did not. He came after CM Punk, and became #1 contender for the WWE Championship, and go to Wrestlemania. At Wrestlemania he LOST CLEAN to the Champ CM Punk. Not only that, he TAPPED OUT. Then things got quite personal between him and Punk, and got himself another match for the championship, this time at EXTREME RULES. Jericho lost clean AGAIN, and it looks like he's pretty much OUT of the tittle shot, at least.

What now for Jericho? Did he come back just
to ESTABLISH CM Punk...as a the face of the WWE?

That's my question...

I didn't think that Jericho was going to win the title. So I guess, yes. Jericho did come back to put over Punk, and he's done it. Punk can now add to his resume that he's made Jericho tap out and beaten him in a street fight.

Probably, yes. Jericho has gone on record several times with his desire to help establish the next generation of stars, just like he tried to do with that short program he had with Evan Bourne, so it makes sense.

Really, his career is to the point now where there isn't a whole lot to add except for number of title reigns, and he doesn't seem to care as much about that as he does giving back to the company, which I think is the perfect attitude for a vet like him to have.

the WWE needs established vets to bring the new guys up, just like Jake the Snake did for SCSA, and Farooq did for The Rock. Jericho is absolutely perfect for that role, and seems to enjoy doing it, so why not?

Also if the rumors are true and he is going to be going n tour again soon, why bother with a short title reign?

Basically he came for a Quickie

And they gave us 2 awesome matches. I've a feeling tough that they blew it to soon. This should continue, but hey, we dont know what they know. I guess it all depends on Jericho's status and the deal he made...

honestly I am hoping that Jericho starts working with someone else, just because he is awesome at getting people over, and if the current era has taught us anything it's that you can't hang a company around 1 or 2 guys anymore.

probably either Dolph, Cody or Sheamus, but Sheamus doesn't seem to need it so much anymore, so Dolph or Cody
