Has Y2J's return been a let down?

[MikeRaw]

Has Y2J's return lived up to your expectations?
I mean, there were 2 "groups" hyping up his return... The fans and the WWE...

The wwe's hype was huge, and it made you believe he was going to "save" the WWE, add to the main event, be inh the spotlight, etc, and it really had us waiting.
And the fans hype was similar. As usual, as soon as the big return was announced, everyone got Y2J sigs, created 40 topics about him, bought Y2J socks and basically thought the same thing, that he was going to be a huge addition...

But since he returned, he had that quick feud with Orton, but that was more "necessary" as he made his return by interupting Orton. But since then, hes been syuck in the mid card, left off numerous PPV's, not even defending his title, and hardly getting any mic time.
Only recently have we seen him in a main attraction (with HBK) but we dont even know if thats going to keep going.

So basically, my point is, since he returned, it hasnt been that great, and sure hasnt made a difference IMO...

-Do you think its lived up to expectations, or was it too hyped up?
-Do you think hes still capable of being a main eventer? if so, is he able to be a main eventer on raw, or just SD?

I dont think so i get pumped up everytime his entrance hits. He is still entertaining it doesent matter if he isnt wwe champ.

It's been a long time since his return, almost around 10 months and saying that his return was a let down at this point in time makes no sense at all. :n:

Chris Jericho is as entertaining as he was in 2003/2004, he is as good inside the ring as he was at the start of the new millennium, no matter what people say, Chris Jericho is still Chris Jericho and his return has passed long by and it wasn't a let down at all in fact it was entertaining.

The fact of the matter is that people were expecting Chris Jericho to get a major push prior to his "Save_US 222" return but that didn't happen, he didn't even get the WWE Championship and was put along with the mid-card talent (notice that I don't use the word thrown along with the midcard talent) Because they are as important as Main Eventing superstars, Chris Jericho has always been a superstar and a great entertainer... his big push is coming in a short time and everyone can sense that at this point.

Y2J returned as he left in 2005.. Didn't get the World Championship, Holding I-C Belt just until someone is better than him in WWE minds...

I knew straight up if Y2J return he will be back in the same spot he always been in....

Y2J return was a Let down, because WWE should of Used him in a better fashion..

His feud with Orton was 3rd field to the Hardy/HHH, HBK/Kennedy......

I really Like Y2J, But if they going use him as a Midcarder, than i won't be happy.. But there no way he's going be a Main Eventer on raw if HBK/HHH/Cena are on the same show and Jeff hardy Main event push on the rise as well...

If WWE was Smart a Y2J Heel could Help.. but if they want to turn HHH heel.. then that will overshadow it...

I love Y2J. His promos are some of the best in the WWE, and if he was actually involved in a SOLID feud, not a random one, he would do awesome. Hopefully after the draft we'll see Jericho do some good instead of... not really doing anything.

He wasent always in this spot he was the undisputed champion.

I dont see how it doesnt make sense.
Obviously it does because 90- percent of threads on here are based on stuff AFTER they happen, or as they are happening.
Secondly, it wouldve been stupid if I made this thread right after he returned considering he wouldve just returned, and not had a chance to do anything.
Thirdly, I brought it up now, because hes been in a few feuds, which has given him a chance, but not much of his time since returning has been in the spotlight...
BTWQ, hes not at the level he was in 2003 IMO. But thats just my opinion, but in 2003, he was in the world title picture, prolific feuds, and a top guy, overshadowing others. Now hes hardly in feuds AT ALL, and hes the one being overshadowed...
Also, your the one who made a three paragraph post, so apparently the thread was worth making

-Do you think its lived up to expectations, or was it too hyped up?
deff to hyped, i mean i was excited when i heard he was coming back, wwe really needed another wrestler that could of reached the fans, but what has he really accomplished? i mean hes ic champ but i dont even remember how he won it, no back story to it which makes it a shitty title reign.

-Do you think hes still capable of being a main eventer? if so, is he able to be a main eventer on raw, or just SD?
yes, no doubt about it if the wwe wanted him in the main event hed get over it easily, but hes just in the middle doing nothing, hes a twenner and on raw which pretty much sucks, if he was heel on sd i think hed be in a better situation.

and this is a guy that was a top heel before, was an undisputed champ and hes in this position...

The wwe dident over hype it the fans did. We werent supposed to know who it was but it leaked. If you watched those viral videos and no one knew who it was and he came out it would have been awsome. It was still good but everyone already expected it.

 

[exC.On]

my point was if there showing all this vids before hand codes like "save us" and stuff then he comes back a short feud with randy then ic picture thats being over hyped.

Yeah He had his ride of glory of November 2001 - April 2002... It was awesome.. But after January 2002 HHH was the main focus for WWE, Then Hogan, NWO came and Y2J got losted in the shuffle.. Then ending up Jobbing to John Cena on vengeance 2002 i think....

I really Like Y2J.. But i knew striaght up if he was returning.. he wouldn't stay in main Event scene for long...He just been overshadowed in his career...

But one thing Y2J can say is he had more Victories than defeats. When he faced Rock and Stone Cold....

Yea and if you look at jerichos win loss record since he came back he has more wins than loses.

 

[MikeRaw]

That isnt the point.
Mark Henry probably has more wins than losses too, btu that doesnt mean hes a big star.
Yes, Jericho has more wins than losses (according to you anyways)
Yes, Jericho is a big star and a capable main eventer..
But Im saying that so far, he hasnt been in the main event, wheter its his fault or wwe's, he hasnt been in the spotlight so with that being said, Im saying, has it lived up to the hype.
I cant see how anyone can say yes though, because everyone on here when he returned was expecting him to be worl dchamp, be a top guy, etc...
That hasnt happened, so I figured Id give my opinion to my own thread, and thats that its been a dissapointment so far...
SD is where he should be to get more air time and bette rfeuds, THEN he will be inn the ME and do what he was meant to do...

 

[Haze187]

I think it was a huge let down, really huge. Basically they took way to long to finally let him return, the Save.Us promos went on for like 2 or 3 ppvs and after like the 3rd week of all this everyone knew it was Jericho. That's why it didn't have the surprise element to it, even if we knew it would be him giving these promos a few weeks and letting him return at the right time would've given a better a reaction but people were so pumped up about it for so long that after a while they got tired of waiting.
Now do I think he is a main eventer? He did it before, he can do it again. I just see WWE really messing up on him. I hate having to see Jericho in the same hole he's been since like a few months after he lost the Undisputed title. I firmly believe that if he goes to SD he will be a main eventer and now that I think about it heel Jericho could be what is needed to spice up SD's main event scene.
Honestly I am not going to blame it on HHH but from what was reported around he didn't want Jericho to go over Orton and I think that had something to do with Jericho's main event push along with the dissapointing return wich was really WWE's fault not his. Or maybe WWE doesn't see him as a main eventer but you can't shut up the fans they will still react to Jericho.
