I think some of you are missing the point here, when you say that this doesn't fit into the context of their 'best in the world' arguement.
Stuff like this is a part of what makes Jericho 'the best in the world at what he does'. He's gotten inside Punk's head. He's taken the advantage in their war, and he can use this to his advantage. That's all he's doing.
It's totally in context with the theme of the feud, because Jericho as the heel will do whatever he needs to do in order to gain that advantage over Punk. He'll go places that others wouldn't dare go in order to win, and to him, that's what makes him the best in the world at what he does.
I hope you are right, but as of now I'm not sure I can agree with the notion that this new direction with the storyline ties in to the already established storyline of "best in the world". I would love Y2J to tie it in and say exactly what you said.
Don't get me wrong, I *LOVED* this segment. I love CM Punk and I love Jericho even more, but I felt like the storyline was languishing a bit. It wasn't bad per se, just not nearly as good as it could be. While it started out strong, the whole "you're nothing but a wannabe" thing was starting to lose steam and it's just not a solid enough angle to last for two months wrestlemania build.
This new fold makes it very interesting. Finally the snarky sarcastic CM Punk is shaken to his core. The promo was classic scathing heel Jericho and Punk sold the promo masterfully. I was starting to get a little upset about Punk no-selling Jericho's promos, but now it makes sense; it makes this promo all the more important.
As far as the "this goes crosses the line" attitude.. get over yourself. I hate when people get offended FOR other people when they aren't even offended themselves. People like habshater need to get off their high horse
