WrestleMania CM Punk vs Jericho Discussion Thread

[Crayo]

As we get near to the Wrestlemania PPV, we'll have discussion threads for each match to keep it organized. Many people have mixed opinions on CM Punk vs Jericho so I thought I'd start here, who do you think is going to win and who do you think should win?

Go.

I think Jericho is winning only because he's come out and said it's bulls*** that he's leaving after WM, so I think he'll win it in controversial circumstances, perhaps Steph appears. I think he should win too.

I say Jericho wins and loses at SummerSlam

If it indeed true that Jericho isn't leaving after 'Mania, then he is definitely winning against Punk.

I'm surprised so many people think Jericho should win, I guess after EC that's bound to happen. Why WWE didn't give Jericho the title at EC for Punk to have the special WM win baffles me. I'm guessing perhaps something big is going to happen at Wrestlemania if Jericho does win because he isn't beating CM Punk cleanly. If Jericho loses then what was the point of his return?

CM Punk winning helps to elevate him. That's the only thing I can think of.
But I definitely see Jericho winning.
They wouldn't have had him in the EC and lose, then win the #1 Battle Royal and lose at Mania, then to get another shot at say Extreme Rules and win. That would be stupid.
Although this is WWE :/

 

[Asskicker]

I honestly think WWE will really drop the ball on building this match.

So far they haven't done jack sh@t.

Hoping for Jericho to win at Mania and CM Punk to have his rematch at Extreme Rules as I really want to see Chris Jericho!

CM Punk is WINNING AT WM28! He need this win to keep the "Best Wrestler in the World thing going to keep him elevate as the Next Big Time Main Event! ​

Note CM Punk made said this to Chris Brown!

Can't complain about it too much yet @[Jonathan] since it's not really officially started as a feud yet. It's just been Jericho hassling Punk without it getting too personal. As Punk said in the interview it could be special and we need to be patient as fans.

Though I was pissed off with how Jericho's return was so special as it was unique (troll gimmick, and the vignettes) now he's just the personality of suit Jericho but with a nice jacket.

I still don't see the whole point of the video packages because it's came to nothing. Pisses me off.

Came to nothing yet, doesn't mean it won't.

If Jericho loses at WM, then that would officially make his return completely suck. He lost the Rumble, Elimination Chamber and now Wrestlemania, too? Now that he has said that he isn't leaving after WM, it would be all kinds of stupid to not have Jericho win.

What was the point of the return? There was NO point. He failed.
Remember his return to face Randy? Exactly the same thing happened. He created a lot of hype. But in the end lost to him at a ppv. Next ppv he looses again, and then the feud ends he turned heel.

Same thing is happening now, he returned with lots of hype, looses the ppv against Punk at EC, and my money is that he will loose again at WM and then leave, if he was to win, he would have won at EC, WWE wouldnt have waited until WM to make him win.

My guess is that the lad is out of money, hence coming back to put people over to increase his bank balance.

And u believe everything he has been saying lately at Twitter?

 

[Lockard 23]

I seriously doubt Jericho is "out of money." And no, I don't believe everything he writes on Twitter, but then, I also don't follow him on Twitter.

he doesnt have to be out of money, to be a greedy money whore.

Punk retaining at Mania and Extreme Rules would be good for business, but I gotta feeling Jericho wins at Mania, and Punk regaining at Rules.
