10 Reasons WrestleMania 32 Was A Huge Disappointment

Why? Count me in the camp as someone who feels that if Chris Jericho keeps coming back to do nothing but put people over it continues to devalue that rub by making it less and less important. 

Honestly, doing the job to Fandango may have been the moment “the Jericho rub” officially jumped the shark, but when he’s not available to work a full-time schedule and is still one of the biggest name value stars they have you have to use him as effectively as possible.

This wasn’t the time to rebuild his credibility. AJ Styles came into WWE amidst much fanfare and a tremendous reception and despite having some outstanding matches since, hasn’t connected with the audience quite like his fans had hoped he would. 

He’s still over, but not to the degree that he was that first night at the Rumble, and the crowd in Dallas was even somewhat split between him and Y2J at times, going with duelling chats during their match.

The two men have wrestled each other so often in the last few weeks that to book them again without some sort of stipulation or gimmick attached made no sense, but WWE did it anyway and gave us what was a slightly better version of their previous bouts. 

And yet again, Jericho managed to kick out of the Styles Clash, a dominant finisher that put down nearly everyone who took it in every other company AJ has wrestled in, but has now only beaten Curtis Axel.

This was the right time to pull the trigger on AJ Styles going over in a huge way. Unless there are bigger plans for Jericho – first heel challenger for Roman Reigns, perhaps? -  there was absolutely no justifiable reason to have him lose this one.
