Heel Turn?

Feedback: Sure, why not?

Author's Note: This is from Jericho's POV. I don't know if this is how he really feels (although I'm *hoping* it is).

Author's Note #2: WWF.com "leaked" that a house show would include a Rock/Y2J match, which started rumors of a Jericho heel turn. Personally, I don't see that happening (you'll know why in just a moment).

Author's Note #3: I wrote this on October 8, (2001) right after RAW. Y2J "accidentally" hit The Rock with a chair, but he had been aiming for Shane & said so later on. Rock took offense & told Jericho "why not just knock off The People's Eyebrow", & Jericho threw the first punch.

WWF Magazine: Have you ever given any thought to turning your back on all the Jerichoholics and joining forces with Austin and McMahon?
Y2J: Definitely not…Jerichoholics are people who have the same attitude, individuality, and beliefs that I have, and that is to stand on your own, stand up for what's right, and don't take crap from anybody…Would I turn my back on the Jerichoholics and go with Austin and Vince? I would be turning my back on millions to go with two…

WWF Magazine: You are one of the Superstars who has been rumored to have had secret talks with Shane McMahon about joining WCW. Is there any truth to that?
Y2J: No, none at all. I've already spent my time in WCW. I was there for three years. And even though there's a whole new regime there and a whole new era, I'm a WWF man now and I'd like to remain in the WWF for the rest of my career.

     What the hell?
     When I left WCW, I was a heel, and came to the WWF as a heel. Stayed that way for about a year. Then I thought, what the hell, I'll try my hand as a face… again. And I *like* it!
     Okay, so I had to insult the boss's daughter to really get over with the rest of the fans. Well, hey, it worked, and I was rather enjoying myself humiliating her.
     It wasn't like it was real life or anything. And things began to pick up. I *beat* that assclown… heh… Triple H for the title. Of course, I had the belt for a damn fifteen minutes before the match got stricken from the books.
     But that's all old news. Now, Trip is out of the picture-for about two more months, anyway-and the Princess owns ECW, another place I left (and for good reasons). Along with Shane owning WCW, we now have this lovely faction called the "Alliance". What a damn joke.
     Now, there's rumors about me turning heel and probably going with the Alliance on all those little wrestling rumor websites all because I'm facing The Rock at a damn house show. God, I'm already laughing. Well, I hope Rock and I fight for that damn WCW title. It'd be nice to give the audience a decent match for a change.
     Why the hell would I turn heel and join the Alliance? There's seems to be a lot of wishing thinking going on… or maybe that assclown Heyman has been sharing his Kool-Aid again.
     First, there's the Princess-you know, the filthy, dirty disgusting, brutal, botton-feeding, trashbag ho-who, no matter what anyone says, I don't like at all (in character, mind you). Second, I *left* both ECW and WCW, so why the hell would I want to go back? Third, I hate Heyman. Period.
     I could keep going, but those are my reasons. Oh, yeah, I'm still going to face The Rock, but let's look at my matches with Mr. Thumbs, RVD. I'll give the guy credit, he got as much of a damn pop from the crowd as I did. Matter of fact, the crowd seemed down right confused about who the hell to cheer for. In facing Rock, it'll be the same thing, but he'll probably get more cheers. I've still got the Jerichoholics and no matter what, the match will still be two guys who are big crowd favorites and get a pop everytime they're in front of a camera. Simple as that.
     So, tonight on RAW, I'm supposed to accidentally hit The Rock with a steel chair. Dammit, how could *that* make me turn heel? Rock's fans won't like it, the Jerichoholics will be ecstatic that Y2J will be facing the Great One eventually. Let's face it, Rock will want some type of retribution. That's it. Whether that's really what we end up having a match over is yet to be seen.
     I'm going to turn heel and leave the WWF for the Alliance because I'm facing The Rock in (more than) one match?
     Y2J doesn't think so.

End…?
