And as far as meaningless stats go in wrestling, they read off Mark's ladder war ones yesterday and now his record is worse for no good reason in the match he made famous

As much as I hated the finish itself too, Jericho being literally carried at least doesn't drive him any narrative that Mark isn't good enough as a singles wrestler which they could have also fucked up and done but that's a small solace lol

I expect Jericho to drop the ROH title back to Mark or to someone else at Final Battle.

I get why, in the end, try to "put over someone else" in the end, and a heel needs some wins to make that win mean something. But I think it is just a law of diminishing returns with Jericho at this point.

I can criticize Jericho on multiple things (Allowing crackpot conspiracy theorists on his Podcast, his wife's Jan 6 involvement, him needing to GO AWAY FOR A WHILE) but I get the methods to his madness. Just at this point, please, time away.

When you drop the belt, have a match where if he loses, he needs to "Leave" for like 6 months. Take some time to tour with his band, focus on maintaining his fitness since when you're at his age, it is challenging to do it week in and week out, maybe let Bill and Keith keep the Learning Tree gimmick, just do it their way for a bit. Then when he's ready to come back, get a gameplan to keep him Fresh and not wear out his welcome
