He is The Lionheart, The Man of 1,004 Holds, The Ayatollah of Rock ‘n’ Rolla and Y2J.

And now, the WWE Universe must refer to the storied grappling career of Chris Jericho in the past tense.

It seems unfair and almost surreal for Y2J’s tenure in WWE to end the way it did on the Aug. 20 edition of Raw. This is the Superstar who once beat “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night to become the first Undisputed WWE Champion in history. This is the competitor who once went toe-to-toe on The Grandest Stage of Them All with Mr. WrestleMania himself, Shawn Michaels. This is the proud warrior who recently put all of his formidable talents on display to defeat Dolph Ziggler, an opponent nearly 10 years his junior, at The 25th Anniversary of SummerSlam.

Then again, the meteoric rise and abrupt fall of Chris Jericho is as much a wrestling success story as any to ever come from ringside. The tale begins with a kid from Winnipeg, Manitoba, one who experienced love at first sight as he watched the likes of Jesse “The Body” Ventura, Hulk Hogan and his other favorite AWA competitors on a television in his grandmother’s...

Well, he did say he was a “Paul Heyman guy.”

That, right from the get-go, was what WWE Champion CM Punk described himself as. “That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy,” right there in the middle of the “pipe bomb” monologue that changed his destiny as a Superstar and foreshadowed his run as WWE Champion. Punk identified with Heyman because the mad scientist “saw something” in The Second City Saint that nobody else seemed to acknowledge. He went to bat for Punk when nobody else seemed to want to, and he helped Punk get his foot in the door of WWE, igniting the spark that eventually grew into the cult of personality wildfire that surrounds Punk today.

Of course, that may have been a different Heyman, and this may be a different CM Punk. Perhaps Punk was always a “Paul Heyman guy,” but their paths have been so divergent of late it’s surprising to say the least that Heyman was The Voice of the Voiceless’ mystery driver, escorting Punk from the scene of the Falls Count Anywhere Match he so ruthlessly hijacked. Punk has been on a one-man quest for respect he feels he’s owed, beating down beloved WWE icons like John Cena and Jerry...

Now I know that I've made some comments on this site talking about my disdain for john cena but it's not personally it's professionally let's face it John cena's character is so stale it's been the same for the last 9 years yeah it's been that long since it's been updated so here's how I see him turning heel. Well first cena needs to lose next weeks wwe championship match to cm punk otherwise this won't work what i could see happening is that after John cena loses the match for the crowd to cheer heavily for punk and I think that would really get under john's skin plus it would prove the point that the big show made this past monday night on raw when he said these people really don't care about you John and with them cheering for punk cena might feel like they've turned from him and embraced someone new as their favorite wrestler as the guy the company man and also by losing to punk cena would feel like he wasted his money the bank opportunity by not cashing it in on punk while he was vulnerable which would piss anybody off what I would love to see is cena embracing the ruthless aggression attitude he had back in the attitude era back when I could actually stand him and he was...
