Nothing you said has anything to do with what I said, good bubba.
The point is that old man Jericho is doing the same as Hogan in WCW, although not as business busting. Both are working their bosses to give them more time and wins than they needed to at that point. Both try to disguise their obvious influence by giving charity wins that don't really matter, as the spotlight will be on them regardless.
Kidman beating Hogan, Rey beating Nash, not one of those wins impacted their career paths. It served the single purpose of giving those big boys arguments to justify their influence. "You see? I'm not using my power for self-serving purposes, I even put a cruiserweight over!"
It works exclusively for them. They are not wrong, either! If I could work my way into more TV time and more money, I'd fucking do it. The fools are those who signed their paychecks.
