So I've mentioned it in other threads but I'm a big Chris Jericho fan and consider him to be the last of a dying breed of wrestlers to travel the world and learn their craft before coming to WWE.
That being said, I am really enjoying Jericho's current run in 2014. I felt his match with Bray Wyatt at Battleground was really good (although some people didn't like it, I guess). I'm also happy to see him having a bigger role on the show and I'm interested to see where else this story with Wyatt goes. I'm sure the Summerslam match will be excellent as well.
It was also really cool to see him make fun of Steph and HHH on Raw last night. It was a cool throwback to old times.
Basically, there's a lot of things about the current product I find incredibly stale, outdated and mediocre but Jericho has really been a highlight for me since his return.
Anybody else care to give their thoughts on this topic?

Anytime Jericho comes back it's a reason to celebrate. While their match at Battleground was good, I knew they could do better. There were a couple blown spots that took me out of the match. I knew the two of them can do much better and judging by the match they put on at the House Show here on Saturday I'm confident their match at Summerslam will be amazing.

Looking forward to seeing it! |

Jericho can wrestle the air and still put on a better match than most of the card.
Everything he has done in WWE has always been entertaining, he shows countless times that he can work a feud with anyone and make both people look amazing, and in teams too.
I'm glad he's being used with Bray, both are top notch on the mic, great in the ring and have a weird but right chemistry. I would put him in the Top 5 wrestlers of all time because in a wee period of time the lad can do magic. I would enjoy a Miz vs Jericho feud but most others wouldn't I feel.

Their match at Battleground wasn't terrible, but both can do better.
Him dissing Stephanie last night was brilliant though, made feel like a 5 year old again.

I want to see Jericho and Rollins get 20 minutes with no BS.

Jericho's a diminishing returns guy, each time he comes back means less than the last. His match with Bray was awful by both their standards, but a few wrestlers had their botch hats on at Battleground (possibly because of the insane schedule they'd been on that week, Bray especially).
Jericho's still way better than RVD, though, and the thing with the Authority last night was fun.

I get excited every time he comes back because I know we're going to see some solid matches amd he's gonna right some of the booking errors they've made. Such as damaging Wyatt in the Cena feud. Bray should have won at Mania and Extreme Rules and then lost at Payback. Jericho and Wyatt are capable of doing much more and I think we'll see that at Summerslam |

I'm really loving his current run. Last night was a perfect example that WWE is better with Jericho in it. The promo with Triple H and Steph reminded me of their history with each other and made the moment even better. The match with Rollins was great, and I'd LOVE to see them work a longer match.

Where is RVD, anyway?

After his BG match with Bray I thought Y2J may be slowing down. That was till last night when he wrestled Rollins. Gawd dang that match was awesome. I need more. I yearn for more.
And the segment with him making fun of Triple H & Stephanie brought back some memories for sure.

About Jericho being the last of a dying breed, he's really not.
As long as WWE is signing guys like Devitt, Kenta, and has guys like Bryan, Rollins and Cesaro on the roster the breed of guys who travel the world a few times before coming to WWE is still there.

Correct. But they all have to go through NXT and learn how to work the style WWE wants instead of adapting their own like Jericho, Benoit and Guerrero did. |

I like how Jericho is kinda just back to put over new guys i.e. Fandango last year. I guess he will put over Wyatt at SS after BG.
There is not really much left for him to accomplish.

I really don't see how having to go through NXT matters, they still travelled the world and learned different styles. It's not like they just forget everything when they go to NXT. Not to mention, Jericho admitted to having some pretty suck ass matches around his first few months in WWF, so I'd rather have somebody go through NXT with everything they already know, mix some WWE in there, then go kick ass on Raw. |

Jericho is my all-time favorite, so I'll never complain about him being around.
He elevates everyone around him. He can make mediocre talents look like stars, and stars look like superstars. Can't knock it.

I'm not saying NXT is a bad thing. You make some valid points. I just feel like having everybody be trained to wrestle the same style takes away from individuality. |

Thing is, I really don't think they're being trained the same style unless the person being trained is just lazy. Like Mojo Rawley for example, typical WWE 101. But then look at somebody like Cesaro who took some things he learned in FCW/NXT and then mixed his own thing into it, and is one of the best WWE has because of it. |
