Chris Jericho Unveils the Canadian Championship

No, this would not be the first time it has happened. Lance Storm once put Canadian flags over the title and call it the Canadian title. But that was ages ago, and there has never been a better time for WWE to revert back that tactic and have Jericho call it the Canadian championship.

Jericho obviously thinks Canada is better since he insults every state he goes to and has nothing but good things to say about his native Canada. Having Jericho be so cocky as to change the name (in his mind at least) of the title to the Canadian Championship would be perfect for him. It would also be really funny assuming it was executed as such, but with Jericho and Owens around, you really never have to worry about humor being satisfied.

This is the most classic heel thing to do. It’s almost to the point where it’s so obvious that people would cheer for it rather than boo the fact that he didn’t like the old name because it referenced the United States, a place Y2J  has been in for 99% of his WWE touring career. Jericho will not want to represent America, so don’t be surprised if the U.S. title tomorrow night has a giant red leaf taped right over it.
