American is better ya right Y2J BABY ...billed from where, exactly? Manhasset, NY? Apparently, WWE doesn't think Canadians can get over as faces if they're billed from Canada. It's why Jericho is billed from Manhasset, it's why Benoit was billed from Atlanta, and I'm sure that if Edge ever turns face again, they'll start billing him from Tampa. Of course, the fact that nearly every major Canadian still in the business today has migrated to the southeastern US doesn't help either.

Of course, the fact that nearly every major Canadian still in the business today has migrated to the southeastern US doesn't help either. It's because the American audience tends to hate Canadians for some ing reason. They just really don't give a crap if they are billed from Canada. That's why when they are heels they are Canadians because they can rub that in their face, act all elitist. But when they are faces they are American so they can chill with Joe 6-Pack... Regardless, Jericho is a Canadian Citizen... No matter what the WWE bills them as. Same with Edge, Christian, Benoit... it doesn't matter where they are billed from really. When they come to Canada they are billed as being from Canada. I don't understand why WWE doesn't do like they do with Christian Cage announcing him as from "Tampa Florida by way of Toronto, Ontario, Canada"

Lilian just gives his weight and his name. I don't understand why WWE doesn't do like they do with Christian Cage announcing him as from "Tampa Florida by way of Toronto, Ontario, Canada" Do you really expect Lilian to remember all that without messing it up?

credit wikipedia Despite being born in the prominent Long Island neighborhood of Manhasset, New York, (his father, Ted Irvine, played pro NHL hockey for the New York Rangers in the early 70s, and Chris was born during his tenure with the Rangers while living in Manhasset), Jericho is a proud Canadian, having been raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[60] He also mentioned that he was pulling for Canada when Canada played the United States in the 2002 Olympic gold medal hockey game. In fact, Vince McMahon felt that by introducing him as "born in Manhasset, New York", American fans would be more likely to get behind him (the same occurred to Chris Benoit when they started introducing him as "now residing in Atlanta, Georgia"). He shares dual citizenship with both Canada and the United States.
