5 Reasons Why Bray Wyatt And Chris Jericho's Feud Is A Failure (So Far)

3. Chris Jericho Has Yet To Deliver Like The One To Truly Push The Wyatt Family Over The Edge

For as much as this list respectfully denigrates Chris Jericho's underwhelming performance in his latest WWE return, there is one point here to praise him. Chris Jericho can help this feud turn the corner by channeling the "old" Chris Jericho one last time. While yes, the delivery can be turned less comically and more humbly serious, Jericho - since calling Bill Goldberg "Greenberg" in WCW and verbally sparring with The Rock in his WWF debut - certainly has the talent and dramatic skills to pull A+ verbal and physical performances out of his combatants. Again, to use the rock corollary upon which this piece is built, let's use the example of Eric Clapton. Of the 230 albums that Clapton has recorded or been featured on as a solo artist or as a member of The Yardbirds, The Blues Breakers, Cream, Derek and The Dominoes and more, it's Unplugged, his comparatively lo-fi acoustic masterpiece that has sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide since its release and netted him six Grammy awards. Maybe instead of the traditional cranked up brilliance of "White Room" and "Sunshine of Your Love" the good-time vibes of "Lay Down Sally," or the graceful brilliance of "Wonderful Tonight," opting for the simple honesty of a "Tears in Heaven" type performance with Bray Wyatt could yield the most significant results.
