The shtick was nothing short of brilliant. To play with the crowd's instincts — turning their welcome-back applause against them — was the most effective way for a star like Jericho to "turn heel" in short order. In fact, he was turning heel in perhaps the most meta way possible: Average fans were largely left perplexed by Jericho's act, but the "smart" fans on the Internet felt most strongly aggrieved. Many of them knew what Jericho was doing, yet they were still disgusted by the inanity of it. When CM Punk went off-script, those fans swooned; when Jericho deliberately undermined the whole edifice, that was a step too far. Punk assaulted the fourth wall over the summer; Jericho went out and found a fifth wall to address. Jericho and Punk are expected to clash, and when that happens "reality" may take the biggest beating.

So, you've got to climb the ladder, get the briefcase, put the briefcase and your opponent into the casket, set it on fire, put it through a table, then pin the casket (or make it submit), then throw it in the ditch and bury it to win?Might as well make it a hell in the cell inferno tables ladders chairs buried alive casket match for the money in the bank brief case.
