Jericho needed some kind of an edge going into WM against HHH.. because as it stood, everyone knew that nearly everything was in the advantage of HHH moving into this match.. and while lots of PPVs may allow for 'screwjob' finishes, the only ones that come to mind immediately as WM screwjobs were Austin/Michaels and Austin/Rocky.. and those both were screwjobs with a purpose.. giving Michaels a good showing in his last match, and leading to putting Rocky out for filming.. and I don't really see that kind of purpose on Jericho's side for getting to beat HHH..
So essentially, I think that Jericho needed something along these lines to place himself that next notch up where he seems competetive with HHH.. after all, Steph won Angle the match, even if it got switched back..

Any thoughts?
Well if he's gonna have Steph , then I kinda like ekedolphin's idea in the thread "Thrillseekers Reunion" ... "Hey, Chris Jericho and Lance Storm are already in the same stable. Why not have those two team up and re-form The Thrillseekers? "
Really , why not ? Undisputed Champion AND world tag team champion too . I wouldn't see this as a de- push ,( as someone said in that thread ), plus you get another top notch tag team out of the deal . IMO , this WOULD be a good idea .

How was Austin/Michael a screwjob?

That was the match where Mike Tyson had joined DX and was the guest enforcer for the match. This "obviously" stacked the deck against Austin, but Tyson turned on HBK at the last minute and counted Austin's pinfall himself.

I just hope they don't use "WCW Logic" (could also probably be called "Russo Logic") and have Steffie swerve Y2J and help HHH win. I doubt they would want to make HHH look weak and need someone to help him win, but never underestimate the desire of Steph to put herself over.
Actually, I hope they have Jericho keep the belt after WM and not lose it for a while, but I doubt we'll be that lucky. Jericho has become so cool again, now that he's acting the role he was born to play.
Austin/Michaels wasn't full on mega-screw, but it was an understated 'not clean' win.. at the end if I remember right, Tyson decked the shit out of Michaels.. now that I think about it more, that may have been post-match, but either way.. the ending wasn't fully clean.
But I guess it wasn't VKM holding people for chair shots either.
Now I hope everyone realizes why I was disappointed with the results of the pregnancy angle.
If you have Stephanie be legitly pregnant, then reveal Jericho as the father, you've got pretty much the same exact situation that we have right now... except the heat would be magnified a billion times. Yesterday was just Stephanie joining Jericho... if you'd done the pregnancy thing right, it would be "Swarmy arrogant world champion Jericho steals wife of wronged husband and challenger HHH", and the sheep would be into it so much more.
But Stephanie HAD to go on an ego trip...
"Oh - oh! Well well well well! It's twenty-four hours after the Royal Rumble and GUESS who is still the Undisputed Champion of the World - ME! Yeah, and I tried to warn all of you - I tried to tell you I was not a joke. I tried to tell you to take me seriously, but what did you do, huh? What did you do? On Sunday, you invited all your little friends over to watch the Royal Rumble, you called up Frank and said, 'hey Frank, you wanna come watch the Rock kick Chris Jericho's ass?' And Frank said, Frank said 'oh sure, I wanna see the Rock win the Undisputed Championship and go all the way to WrestleMania.' I mean, it's a foregone conclusion, right? The Rock is gonna win! The Rock is gonna win! The Rock is going to win, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU believed in your hearts that the Rock was going to win but GUESS WHAT HAPPENED. The Rock - The Rock - The Rock...LOST. CHRIS JERICHO - WON. And even if you don't like it, you have to appreciate and acknowledge all that I've accomplished, because everything that I've done is far too gigantic to be ignored!"
Don't mean to give a spoiler away but it looks like its finally going to happen.
If it happens on Smackdown! I'm gonna be pretty freakin' pissed off. There was NO spoiler tag in front of your message - and not everyone reads the spoilers online.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the ending WAS clean. The ref got bumped, then Austin hit the stunner, so Tyson camre in and counted the pinfall for him. No fast count or anything, no interference. The Tyson decking of Michaels was post-match because HBK pushed Tyson around for counting the pinfall when he was supposedly a Degeneration X member.

Well it was pretty obvious being Jericho/Stephanie are on one of the WM18 posters that was posted a couple weeks ago on this site.
so technically it's not a spoiler because everyone knew, well most people knew.
Yeah...I see it happening. Then I hear Steph's annoying voice screeching in the back of my head when she talks, and then me vomiting about the whole thing.
Just because someone posted something about a poster several weeks ago doesn't mean this isn't a spoiler.
Anyways.. can someone please tell me in what way Stephanie is on an ego trip? What has she done to keep herself in the spotlight? True, nobody likes her >>character<< or her acting, but all this shit about her putting herself over the wrestlers.. If she were to win the damned championship again yes.. As she plays a role in one of the most interesting storylines of the past two years which gave us some AMAZING matches I think we should salute her.. Wouldn't it be great if it turns out Heyman, the so called guru of awesome booking, is the one that puts Steph in the picture?
