Actually, now that I think about it, Jericho turning face might not be such a bad thing after all. There seems to be a lack of strong faces on Raw right now, and Jericho is pretty good as a face when he has lots of heels to mock.
On the other hand, part of me hopes that this is the greatest swerve in the history of professional wrestling. Just think:
- Jericho and Trish hook-up
- Jericho convinces Christian to be a friend and support him, because this makes him happy
- Jericho says he has a big announcement he wants to make in front of the whole world
- Trish and Jericho are in the ring, with Lita & Christian off to the side
- Jericho gets down on one knee, and says...
"I WIN!!!" and demands that Christian pay off the bet. Christian is at first shocked and dumbfounded, then starts laughing and bowing to the master. Trish is reduced to tears and storms out of the ring with Lita.
To me, this would be the essence of Chris Jericho and my secret hope for how this storyline turns out. Mind you, Chris Jericho turning face wouldn't be so bad, either.
