2. Y2AJ
Theres a few things to dislike about the pairing of Y2J and A.J. Styles. Just at Fastlane, Jericho was continually slapping Styles in the face and telling him that hes stupid. All it took was a handshake for that to be forgotten and forgiven. Second of all, the tag division just isnt hot enough for these two legends in their own respect to form a team. There arent a series of credible challengers that they need to vanquish. Theres the goofy New Day, and a mid 40s Dudley Boyz. If The Social Outcasts got on a bit of a roll, they could probably handle things themselves. And then theres the name Y2AJ. That is a bad name. Its one of those names you think of, and right away it sounds kind of fun, but when you hear it a second time you realize how stupid sounding it is. How about instead of The Brothers of Destruction they went with UnderKane! Lastly, is there a time in a wrestlers career where an aging veteran wearing trunks suddenly makes it look like theyre wearing underwear? If so, Jericho has officially crossed that threshold.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
