Sometimes inwrestling, theres the question of how much is enough.
Others will argue that he should have been happy with what he had.
Hundreds of wrestlers would kill to be in that position.
That sums up Chris Jerichos WWE career pretty well.
Hes a guy who has had a ton of success, but never felt like the company wastrulybehind him.
Hes been in the Royal Rumble longer than anyone ever…but still never won it.
Jerichos had an impressive run, but was it ever truly enough?
His WrestleManiaMoments were based on either winning a mid-level championship or enduring some kind of humiliation and abuse.
The man has taken part in THREE world title bouts and none painted him as championship material.

Did Chris Jericho deserve more or was it just enough?
Lets check it out.
He and Chris Benoit would take on Kurt Angle in two consecutive triple threat matches.
The first would be for Angles Intercontinental Championship while the second was for his European Championship.
The first bout had Benoit take out Jericho with a diving headbutt and pinning him for the Intercontinental title.
Jericho lost the European Championship the very next night to Eddie Guerrero.
This time he came in as reigning Intercontinental Champion, defending it against William Regal.
A great show-opener indeed, with Jericho once again winning with a Lionsault.
Unfortunately, hed drop the title to Triple H a couple days later onSmackDown.
Funny how that works out, considering whats next.
The aftermath had Jericho win a one-night tournament to unify the two world titles.
He defeated the Rock through interference and cheating, then defeated Steve Austin through more interference and cheating.
He was still the big bad and the target we were meant to root against.
That took a turn once Triple H won the Royal Rumble.
Suddenly, the feud became Triple H vs. Stephanie McMahon with Jericho as the third wheel.
Triple H went over Jericho as expected.
It was his loneWrestleManiamain event and many would claim it shouldnt have gone on last to begin with.
WrestleMania XIXwas probably Jerichos finest moment despite losing in the end.
Michaels ended it with a roll-up pin and offered a handshake afterwards.
For the next couple of years, Jerichos stock dropped further and further.
He had a friendship with Christian that led to theirWrestleMania XXmatch.
Christian ruined everything by telling Trish about the bet and therefore the match happened.
Jericho ended up losing due to the swerve that Trish and Christian were secretly a thing.
ByWrestleMania 21, Jericho really had nothing going on.
The company was about painting over the old with new names like Cena, Batista, and Orton.
Even Booker T was resigned to winning a dark match battle royal!
Edge ended up winning and history was made.
It didnt help that Jericho hadnt quite figured out the whole evolution concept yet.
He needed a personality makeover badly.
Jericho left WWE for two years, though it certainly felt like a lot longer.
When he returned in late 2007, he was spruced up with his Bon Jovi look and save.us.y2j style.
Once again, he lost.
We ended up with a freak match where nobody got to look good.
After cutting through the immobile Snuka and out-of-shape Piper, Jericho got some excitement out of Steamboat.
Jericho won, beat up Flair, and then got punched out by a very disinterested Rourke.
Jericho and Edge had a heel tag team alliance going very briefly until Edge got injured.
Jericho planted the seeds early on by cutting angry promos on Edge being useless.
Jericho won the World Heavyweight Championship in theElimination Chamber, mainly because of Michaels interfering to piss offthe Undertaker.
Unfortunately, there wasnt much more to the story than that.
Once again, it would be to build up a title program atWrestleMania.
Once again, they mucked it up and made it seem less important than it should have been.
JerichosWrestleManialow point came one year later atWrestleMania 29.
A year after challenging for the title, Jericho took on a debuting (sort of) Fandango.
The stars didnt align for Jericho to appear atWrestleManiaagain untilWrestleMania 32.
There, he faced AJ Styles.WrestleMania 32was known for the really awkward booking decisions and this match wasnt different.
Jerichos lastWrestleManiarun was one of the bigger gut-punches.
Then…Brock Lesnar happened, sad to say.
These days, he is contracted to the upcoming All Elite Wrestling.
Jericho is essentially a bridesmaid in theWrestleManiawedding.
Its nice to get nominated, but its too bad he never truly got to win.
