I feel like I’m one of the people out there who doesn’t “get” Chris Jericho any more. I mean, I understood his whole schtick in WCW and I understood what he did when he came into WWE. I even understood the whole Fozzy break and his interviews leading up to his time back in WWE through 2010. But these days – I just don’t get him. Sometimes, it seems like he’s going for a quasi modern day Andy Kaufman routine. It’s weird.
He always seems very full of himself. As much as he wants to try and make the world not see him as a professional wrestler, that is the only thing that makes him famous. Without wrestling he would be playing music in small backwards clubs in Edmonton.
I thought his WCW work was great, and his first run WWF stuff was top notch, but honestly he isn’t as great as he would believe. He is a very capable wrestler, but he never had the drawing power of HBK, Flair, Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold or even Foley. I don’t know where his over inflated self value comes from.
