Chris Jericho praises TNA

It's great to see Chris Jericho come out and say this.

If Jericho went to TNA that'd be HUGE for them.

Also cool of him to tweet that.

Just think of all the 5 Star matches we could see.

Chris Jericho vs. Austin Aries
Chris Jericho vs. AJ Styles
Chris Jericho vs. Bobby Roode
Chris Jericho vs. Christopher Daniels
Chris Jericho vs. Kurt Angle
Chris Jericho vs. Chris Sabin
Chris Jericho vs. Jeff Hardy
Chris Jericho vs. Samoa Joe

Honestly if I had never seen an Ultimate X I would feel the same, but since I have I think it is stupid a ladder was brought in.

If Cena jumped (which he won't) It'd give them a huge kick in the pants.

Jericho did appear for TNA back then... for a music video promoting, BFG 06: Sting vs. JJ - Title vs. Career match.
Yep, the closes thing to stepping inside a TNA arena... the titantron. LOL!

"That you're my enemy
All that we had has gone away
There are times that fade away
But you'll still be my enemy."

I still love this song.

He posted this:



on his website several years ago and the IWC exploded. It was just a hoax though. 

It would do absolutely nothing for the ratings. As much as WWE wants you to believe it, Cena isnt on the level of Rock or Austin or Hogan. He could have been, but thats WWE's fault. Cena is but a creation of the machine, the version we see today. And thus, the crowd has revolted against him. He remains a top seller in merchandise b/c he has captured the young children crowd. Problem is these young kids DO NOT dictate to their parents. The parents will decide if they go or dont go, buy a tshirt or dont buy a tshirt, etc. By the time that young child has reached an age where they begin to make their own decisions on going to an event, buying a tshirt, etc.....they no longer cheer for Cena. The parents, in most cases, are not into Cena outside of the pleasure he brings their child. Combine that with, the main stream audience is conditioned for WWE....Cena would not equate to a ratings boost.

When Jeff Hardy left WWE following his mega feud with Punk, he was red hot! He was just as, a merchandise pimp. Combine that with his more popularity with the live crowds than Cena.....you had the hottest name in professional wrestling. Fast forward a few months and Hardy signs with TNA. Yes, the Hardy marks followed. Internet smarks knew where Hardy was. Hardy haters were also informed on his move. But not the mainstream fans and not those same kids with the arm bands, that STILL wear them to WWE shows. At almost every WWE show I attend, which isnt many anymore, I find kids or fans in general that will remark that Hardy just left and never came back. People constantly wonder where he is. And I wonder if they never use the internet. But the fact is....they just dont care enough. They probably own like 3 wrestling shirts and ONLY attend WWE when they are in their hometown. Travelling an hour for a show would be nuts by their accounts. Just too many mainstreamers that dont know what TNA is, dont know what happened to Hardy or Angle, etc. and nothing you say is gonna change that. They are Jeff Hardy fans when he is in WWE. But they arent REAL Hardy fans.

If the hottest name in pro wrestling at the time jumped to TNA with a returning RVD to national television and Hulk Hogan and you saw just a minor blip in the ratings....then you know a name like Cena wont do anymore than that. What a name like Hardy did for TNA was add a credible name superstar and becomes a marketing/merchandise giant. The same could be done with Cena.

I think if Jericho wants to help young stars, then TNA would be a good option. He would burn too many bridges with WWE tho for it to be worth it.
