The wisdom of Y2J Chris Jericho. | | This is a promo from Y2J Chris Jericho. Now he said this at the time where wrestling was doing fantatsically well in 1999. However the same promo would describe today's WWE to a T. "A new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs! What was once a captivating, trend-setting program, has now deteriorated into a clichéd - let's be honest - BORING snoozefest that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor! [...]
Let's go over the facts. Television ratings - downward spiral. Pay-per-view buyrates - plummeting. Mainstream acceptance - nonexistent. And reactions of the live crowd - complete and utter silence!
And I know why you're silent! You're silent because you're embarrassed to be here! And the reason why you're embarrassed is because of the steady stream of uninteresting, untalented, mediocre 'sports entertainers' where you're forced to cheer for and care for - no wonder you're not cheering! You could care less about every single idiot in that dressing room. [...]
You people have been led to believe that mediocrity is excellence. Nuh uh...JERICHO is excellence. And now, for the first time in WWF history, you have a man who can entertain you! You have a man who is good enough for you! You have a man who can make you jump up off your chairs, raise your filthy fat little hands in the air and scream [...]
Thank you."
The promo was met with thunderous boos back then but imagine if it was said now? And it's true. An era of talented people to break through such as Benjamin, Carlito, Chavo etc.... is what we need. More Benjamin, less Boogeyman. More Carlito, less Masters and so forth. |
