:mjlol:At least HHH's 2000 heel run was good. But when he was still doing this same shyt in '03-'05 while cutting longer, more boring promos on every show while better performers like Y2J, Booker, Benoit, Orton, etc. were floundering it was god awful.

This is a top 10 moment of Raw but I never thought Jericho was world champ status until about 05 tbh.

Jericho wasn't ready to be an actual, top guy on the show, focus of the show, 6 month reign champ guy until his 08 heel run. He was still cutting goofball promos that got pops but didn't really sell the match at that time. He's actually much better at that now even if hes physically Larry now..

They gave him the belt in 2001. And that's not just because of HHH, his stuff with Austin and Rock wasn't great either. Giving Jrricho the belt for more than a month in 2000 wouldn't have made sense.

The Rock needed to the title here so :yeshrug:

Jericho's Undisputed run could've been something special but they booked it like absolute trash

I really think they legit hated Jericho back then. He said that he found out he was winning the Undisputed Championship hours before the show. He was in catering and Vince was having a conversation with Undertaker near him. Vince was like, "You know how this business is going down the toilet? We're putting the belt on Jericho. :scust: :troll:"

When Jericho won the titles, he went backstage and nobody was there to congratulate him. Vince was with him less than a minute ago and he had already left. :mjlol:

He's literally the reason I stopped watching WWE until 2016. The man was a tyrant.

Orton and jeff hardy were pretty much on top of their game from 07-09 and HHH was champ , even buried and squasher booker for a 2nd time at summerslam years after the wrestlemania shyt
