Jericho should never have been relegated back to IC title status after he won the Undisputed Title. You don't climb down the ladder. Rock never went back because he cemented himself as a major player during his IC title run. Vote goes to Rock.

This is tough because I have to balance out the shear number of title reigns that Jericho had to comapre it to Rock's two title reigns. Overall I think that the quality of The Rock's title reigns were higher, especially his second run with the title, and Jericho is let down by some weak title reigns.
