Only two times he really reinvented himself was in his initial debut and his first return in 2008 when he went from being the fun loving rock n roller Y2J to the brooding, miserable best in the world at what he does Chris Jericho.
I'm not sure what your whining about, punk did the straight edge gimmick for years, sometimes a s a face sometimes as a heel.
Jericho didn't really do anything different, he tried to top the rock many times, he wore a suit for awhile and was heel, which triple h had already done as put of evolution and ric flair did before both of them, then just went back to being y2j
Who cares. If WWE can't create new stars we should just give up on them entirely. I think the reason why their network fails is because people don't want old wrestling, they want new wrestling that still feels like old wrestling.
Jericho through the years has changed so much. Very adaptable.
each time he returned he was different.
Y2J had him work with Rock....
