WWE Over the Limit 2012: Another PPV That Adds to Chris Jericho's Streak

In his 22 year career as a wrestler, Chris Jericho has wrestled literally all over the world and has laid claim to nearly 40 championships. In the WWE, he has been a six-time World Champion, nine-time Intercontinental Champion, and five-time WWE Tag Team Champion along with European and Hardcore title reigns.

A career that is surely Hall of Fame bound.

Since his win against Edge at WrestleMania 26, Jericho's career has taken a turn for the worse. He has lost every PPV that he has competed in, with the exception of the 14-man Team WWE vs. Nexus match at Summerslam 2010 (he still was pinned in the match by Heath Slater).

Here is the dreadful decline of Chris Jericho's winning ways.

• Extreme Rules 2010—lost to Edge (Steel Cage match)
• Over the Limit 2010—lost w/Miz to the Hart Dynasty
• Fatal 4-Way 2010—lost to Evan Bourne
• Night of Champions 2010—first man eliminated in the Six-Pack Challenge for the WWE Championship
• Royal Rumble 2012—eliminated by Sheamus
• Elimination Chamber 2012—eliminated from match after hit by CM Punk and fell to the ground
• Wrestlemania 2012—lost to CM Punk
• Extreme Rules 2012—lost to CM Punk
• Over the Limit 2012—lost in Fatal Four Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship

With statistics like these, it would be hard to lay claim of being the "Best in the World at Everything He Does."

Chris Jericho is by far one of the most gifted professional wrestlers in the history of the business. He has continued to reinvent himself with his returns and character development. He helped create and solidify other wrestler's legacies by having amazing feuds with them (Shawn Michaels, Rock, Edge, Rey Mysterio...the list goes on).

It would only make sense for Chris Jericho to have his hand in suggesting most of these losses. Although that is an enviable and unselfish act that merits tremendous respect, Jericho (and the WWE as a whole) should not allow his career to have such a lopsided win-loss record over the past two years.

Over the Limit would have been a perfect way to rectify this abysmal direction, but it still did not happen.

For Jericho's return to have any speck of light, at least one World Title run would suffice. If not, his return would, for the most part, make him a jobber during this leg of his WWE tenure.
