The guy has been great since his return.. I'm actually interested in what he has to say whenever he's on TV now. He's funny as hell on the mic.. "ya dig?", made the word "IT" a catchphrase, and his new gimmick is just  ing awesome with KO. I actually hope they win the tag titles at least once.. this way Owens doesn't get lost in the card while RAW focuses on Rollins/Balor. |

I think he and Owens play off well together, and they're definitely a team I could get behind. Hopefully they have a good run as a team, then split and have a big payoff match at WrestleMania.

Yes, he's a master on the mic and a master of ring psychology. Look at the scarf and the terrible facial hair. He doesn't even have to say anything for people to hate him. The guy is amazing.
I love the story about him facing KO and calling him grumpy cat in the ring. Off mic, Owens tells him that it was lame. Jericho just says wait and moments later the whole crowd is chanting grumpy cat. Now they all chant stupid idiot. He's amazing and he should be giving lessons to just about everyone on the roster.

I really think 2016 has been one of Jericho's best runs ever. Right up there with 2001 and 2008. He did great in the Rumble, Y2AJ vs New Day, the fatal four way the night after Mania, etc. I honestly would put Jericho/Styles at Wrestlemania over Zayn/Nakamura any day of the week. The crowd is a lot less annoying, too.
Drink it in, maaaannnnn.

I like the idea, and I definitely think that they should form a team. I have my doubts that it will last long enough for them to win tag belts, but this could be Owens' version of Rated RKO. I (personally) never took Orton seriously until Rated RKO. That's what made him for me. Owens is on the precipice here, so the alliance with Jericho needs to be more than a one-off.
I just have to say, Jericho is about as versatile as a heel as there has ever been. As a face he had his long-haired run in the early 2000's with his 'Please shut the HELL up' and 'dirty, nasty, disgusting, bottom-feeding trashbag ho' catchphrases, but it's all been pretty bland and boring overall. As a heel though, he has played every kind of jerk imaginable. He's gone from young annoying whiny malcontent punk in WCW, to deranged rock star in 02, to bratty jackass with Christian, to angry serious champion in a suit, to puppetmaster needling tempter against Punk, and now to delusional and somewhat childish legend in his own mind (in spite of being a bonified legend).

Jericho I love. Owens, not so much. Really? I'm wondering why? I never watched his Indy stuff or really knew about him until he got to the main roster but man has he grown on me. Love what he's done lately. |

Love what he's done lately. I don't think he's as good as people make him out to be. Sure he's good in the ring but that's never been why I liked someone or not. He doesn't entertain me as much as others either. |

I love this pairing, but as long as they don't screw it up Owens will benefit the most from this.

I prefer his mic work over his in ring work. Go figure lol |

I'm one of the few that didn't really care for the Jericho/Styles feud. It just didn't resonate with me.
But I've enjoyed everything else Jericho has done since returning. Feud with Dean was good. And the pairing with Owens has been classic so far.

Jericho has been fantastic for the last few months. It's been some of his best work in years and you can tell he's been enjoying it, otherwise I'm not sure he'd have stuck around as long as he has. It can't be understated how much he helped out when the injury bug had taken out such a huge amount of top tier talent. He was sort of the veteran glue holding the whole show together for several weeks.

As someone who is a big Jericho fan and thought he was getting super stale earlier this year during his face run, he's been absolutely fantastic the last few months. I crack up everytime he speaks. Was rolling on the floor when he called Tom Phillips "Nathaniel".

I didn't think that he hit his stride until about late May/early June but his current gimmick with Stupid Idiot, It, etc.. has been great.

It's a shame that the crowd was focused on the booty o's box being set up on stage. |

Even AJ said he couldn't hear a single reaction because of the how big the stadium was or something like that. |

Yeah, I also believe this was the first time he used the styles clash in wwe and Jericho kicked out. |
