[1998-05-25-WCW-Nitro] Chris Jericho: Conspiracy Victim

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Jericho points out that he lost the cruiserweight title because of a diabolical conspiracy within WCW. He asks JJ Dillon to come out. It's hilarious how he insults Dillon until he shows up and then he completely changes his tone. Jericho points out that Dean Malenko was not one of the announced participants in the battle royal at Slamboree so therefore he was not entitled a championship match. Therefore, JJ Dillon should reverse the decision and return the belt to him. Jericho claims that he was at a psychological disadvantage, and Dillon tells him the decision stands unless Jericho can find some sort of precedent. Jericho is great here!

Jericho taps out Dandy and calls out JJ. The insulting turned into butt kissing was great. Jericho is a wordsmith with his words and JJ plays his part well. Jericho returns to shitting on JJ when he is denied his request. Good stuff.

Great heels always have a kernel of truth in their points. Jericho is somewhat justifiably pissed, and that's what makes his insane rants so great.

Jericho raises a point, but who's to say Malenko wasn't Ciclope the entire time? Jericho goes from insulting to shamelessly kissing up to JJ to back to being insulting to groveling and begging all in the span of two minutes.

Jericho is the most solid thing on WCW at this point. Nothing is close.
