Ok, the net was buzzing huge when news got out that Chris Jericho was having problems with other wrestlers in the WWF. This started when he first came into the fed, and him and Road Dogg practically got into a shoot fight because he slapped him in the ear too hard. Things got worse for Jericho when he threw Stevie Richards out of the ring a couple weeks ago, and he broke his ankle. It was also rumored that Jericho was having heat with DX, specifically HHH, because of a black eye he gave Chyna. Mark Madden reported that all of these rumors of heat weren't true, but Dave Scherer said that he had heard reports from the contrary. Micasa, so take this for what its worth, said that some of the WWF management wish they hadn't signed him in the first place. I haven't heard any talk on this, but I do know that heat between wrestlers for being stiff happens all the time, and is nothing new.
As for Jericho working stiff, I think maybe the WWF guys need to be the ones adjusting. Jericho worked against the greats in Japan and in Mexico, and has had numerous five star matches on two different continents. I can't think of another wrestler in the WWF right now who could say that. As for him being too stiff, I hope the WWF doesn't sign Chris Benoit or Goldberg, because the backstage area would look like Jonestown the day after the Kool Aid party. Jericho is by far and away their best in the ring talent, and even farther away if you take the Hardyz and Edge/Christian out of consideration.
