>>10770864all Chris Jericho ever had going for him was being acceptably handsome and good at being a juvenile asshole on the mic
he either was never athletic or severely hindered by his stockiness, which combined with his lesser height for the business forced him into an awkward style of wrestling that never made him look particularly good
he was not a truly great mic worker; when forced off teenage humor he was never able to be as riveting nor cutting
he has always had only one character: chris jericho; everything he's ever done has just been on a sliding scale of goofy to dickhead
Chris Jericho was never particularly talented, probably never at anything, so can't do anything but what he'd built a career on doing
for some reason however, he has a very big ego, so he's a huge self-mark, though self-conscious enough to have made the effort of disguising this fact through incorporation of it into his gimmicks, to blur the lines between fiction and fact
he doesn't really want to put anyone over, he wants to be the guy and the guy who worked with the guy at the same time
he wants to "make stars" just to have the accolade rather than out of contribution to the business
he's been putting himself first and thus has gone down routes that led him away from what may have actually succeeded in terms of helping younger talent
