Outlook - Jericho is one of the young lions in the WWE, but he has more potential than most. He is one of the most charismatic wrestlers, but has the ability to get the job done. He has wrestled in every conceivable place - Canada, Mexico, Japan, and every major US promotion. After some high profile feuds and a sound title run, Jericho seems ready for a regular top spot. Glass ceilings, political manuevering and other crap have tarnished him though and his inconsistant work prevents him from rising above it all.
