I'm watching No Way Out 2002 and got to the main event,

>>1611141
they didnt thats why they made his storyline into Steph storyline and why he was never WWE champion ever again

>>1611171
So why did he hold the title until Mania, what was the point? They should have just went with Angle instead, at least he was already credible already since he made Austin tap less than a year before

>>1611185
He was the set up guy for HHH

>>1611192

And then their match got completely BTFO by Hogan/Rock.

>>1611195
I think it's Hhh more than Jericho at fault. Haitch also convinced Vince to put that match on after rock and hogan

Hhh has failed to follow up 3 times, at wm18 25 and 32.

>>1611195
Hogan vs Rock was a shit match, HHH vs Jericho is easily better. Do you watch and only look at the crowd or actually watch the match?

>>1611200
Hey Hunter

>>1611200
Crowd reaction does matter and hogan was always amazing at working them, Hunter

>>1611198
It's Jericho fault, the man wasn't a main eventer and was literally only in that position bc Triple H got injured. Vengeance 2001 was complete garbage bc Jericho was in the Angle/Rock/Austin program for the Undisputed Title instead of Triple H and I'm not even a H fan

>>1611200

Hi Paul

>>1611211
Hey hunter

>>1611198
What was there to even follow up at WM32? The HIAC fucking blew.

>>1611185
It because Vince was using him to stick it to the WCW by saying look at this jobber you guys had. I made him a star and had him main event at the Wrestlemania

>>1611239
Jericho wasn't a jobber in WCW and he was actually pretty over with the fans.

>the man wasn't a main eventer

>>1611244
he didn't do shit in WCW, his most notable moments were the Goldberg feud where he didn't even get a match and getting a fluke win over Scott Hall

Stuff like Malenko returning to attack him was great but they were both jobbers on the card

>>1611273
Most dominant cruiserweight champ in WCW's zenith =/= jobber.

Cruiserweight jobbers were guys like Cyclope, Silver King, El Dandy, the Villanos, etc. Dean Malenko and Chris Jericho were definitely not jobbers.

>>1611328
All of the crusierweights in the WCW were considered jobbers.

>>1611328
don't worry about explaining it to people here, man. Most are Marvel comicbook dweebs, who think if you lose one fight, you are consigned to the role of jobber forever more.

>>1611328
you could be the top of your division and still be a jobber

that's like saying Taka Michinoku wasn't a jobber in WWF because he won the light heavyweight title

I think 2002 was when vince was starting to lose it.
