Chris Jericho Currently Embodies Everything That He Used To Complain About In WCW

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

theyre really starting out with him as champ.

very under-whelming.

 

[Grifter]

Bubbly is on ice.

 

[GOAT]

It was though.

Jericho didn't "complain" about anything other than WCW's lack of push/appreciation the cruiserweights got. There was no upward mobility on the card. No matter what, every mainevent was gonna be Hogan/Piper, Hogan/Savage, Hogan/Sting, with the occasional DDP or Goldberg moving up. Current Jericho is working with younger guys and helping establish them to larger audiences and isn't politicking to keep anybody down.

He's their biggest star by a solid margin. It only makes sense to start with him and build the other guys up. That's just textbook longterm booking

It's ironic regardless tho

That literally backs up that Jericho is their biggest star however you want to dress it the fact remains.

​

in the wrestling world, AEW's biggest stars are omega, bucks, cody, moxley & the lucha brothers.

and that's basically their entire fanbase. wrestling fans.

Jericho isn't drawing sticks for them. they could easily just put fat rob van dam in his spot, put the belt on him, and have yall referring to him as their biggest star.

Do you know what name brand recognition is? That is what Jericho is to AEW and that is why they are rewarding him in such a way because he's brought attention to the product. I would watch flabby and home sick Jericho perform a match as opposed to seeing any of those obscure bums you mentioned any day.

 

[ManBearPig]

all that rhetoric these dudes used to spill about WCW keeping the "old guys" in the main events.

Jericho is flabbier than all of them. and they were actually box office draws.

Jericho never drew a dime. hes in the way for no reason and is stealing money.

You're doing too much here

I didn't name any obscure bums. I named stars.
