11 Best Elements Of WWE TV In 2016 (So Far)
5. Chris Jericho Thinks You Are All Stupid Idiots
Take an ageing veteran watching as a New Era passes him by, add in the pettiest and most childish insult imaginable, and you have a performer rejuvenated in some 26 years into his career.
"Stupid idiot" became a rallying call for Chris Jericho and his go-to insult for any superstar or crowd who dared oppose him. As ridiculous as that phrase may seem on the surface, it struck a chord with the audience. Soon, it was not out of the ordinary for audiences to greet Y2J with a chorus of his newfound catchphrase.
It took something so simple, yet so incredibly effective, for Jericho to breath new life into his career. After an underwhelming first three months, in which the future Hall of Famer looked every bit of his 45 years, the "stupid idiot" shtick was a welcome addition to his performances and further proof that the first undisputed champion in WWE history is one of the most adaptable professional wrestlers in the history of the storied industry.
