The Jericho-Kingston feud makes me so fucking mad because it had legs at the beginning. The promos were alright, Kingston acting like a madman calling Chris from a payphone and attacking him in the parking lot was great, but they fucked it all up with the whole faction warfare bullshit and dragging it on for 3 more months than it needed. The ideal way to do this feud would be
>keep the initial build the same
>First match Jericho wins by cheap means
>Eddie calls him out, Jericho refuses unless Eddie can beat 2.0 in a handicap match, which he does just barely when interference from Garcia goes awry
>beatdown after the match, fireball spot
>second match comes around, no dq this time
>Kingston wins, Jericho is kayfabe injured, maybe from a fire spot if he's willing
>Jericho is now in a wheelchair with a broomstick on the side for wizard bullshit
>Announces that Sammy is going to face Kingston in his stead for the rubber match
>In the meantime run some mix tags with Kingston and Soho vs Sammy and Tay, try to rehab Soho's flop of a run by associating her with Eddie and giving her a real heel to go against
>Sammy vs Eddie happens, Sammy wins when Jericho interferes.
>Postmatch beatdown
>Wild Thing hits
>monster poo
>transition into a tag feud between mox and Kingston and Sammy and Jericho
>Mox and Jericho have proved that they have good chemistry and you can keep Kingston out of the ring a bit to keep him from doing anything stupid
This gives Eddie some credibility and rehabs Jericho a bit while also giving Sammy a chance to get some heat without having to bump endlessly. It's not casa blanca or anything, but it works a lot better than whatever the fuck we're watching now.
