First off I'd like to apologize if this thread has been made before, couldn't really find anything about it, and I apologize too if I posted it in the wrong forum section, but I figured this was the most fitting place to post it in.
So anyway..
Lets look at the statics.
Jericho has been a 6 time World Heavyweight Champion, and combined his reigns has only lasted 186 days. (15 days as WCW champion, one reign not lasting any days considering it was declared defunct, 98 days as WWE (undisputed) champion, and currently 73 days as World Heavyweight Champion, counting ofcourse, and lets say Edge beats jericho at wrestlemania, making his reign lasting about 103 days if I got it right)
He has reigned for 318 days as Intercontinential Champion, now I know what you're thinking, that's long, even thou it's 9 reigns, but considering 7 of his reigns has lasted below 40 days each, thats not exactly very long if you ask me.
He has reigned 1 days as European Champion, need I say more?
He had a single reign as Hardcore Champion that lasted 0 days, now that's nothing big really considering like 80-90% of the reigns lasted less than 1 day..
he Reigned one time as WWE Tag Team Champion (well 2 really, but his reign as champion didn't really become vacated or anything during the time he was searching for a new partner after Edge got injured), lasted 168 days with Big show, actually also being his longest reign with a title.. ever, only supporting my idea that his reigns has been underrated as hell.
And last, he has had 4 reigns as World Tag Team Champion, lasting 267 days, but as mentioned above, he held the WWE Tag Team Championship for 168 days, making 3 of his World Tag Team reigns lasting 99 days, one only lasting 8 days (with The Rock).
Now that we've looked at the statistics, lets get some personal opinions into play.
Personally I think Jericho's reigns are underrated alot considering the fact that he's helped WWE alot, really working solid at forming new talent, he has really had some great matches with numerous people, and he has been very over with the crowd as the good guy Y2J, and a great heel as the bad guy Chris Jericho, even as the bad guy version of Y2j.
And I really think Jericho of all people deserves some longer title reigns because of that, and because to me Jericho is what a heel champion should be like, he's cocky (refering to his Promo this monday where he bragged about going to Wrestlemania) and he brings pride to the titles (if you ask me).
Sure he has held numerous titles, he's a 6 time World Champion, which is more than the average wrestler can brag about, and he is already Hall of Fame bound.
So let me hear your opinion, do you think Chris Jericho's title reigns in WWE has been underrated, appropriate or overrated, and why?
