The promos between these two could be some of the best, especially if Jericho is in his current "idiot" slow talking stage.  Harley Race's promos scared me as a kid.  In a world of "whoos" and "whatcha gonna do" we had this maniacal softer spoken bad-ass.  His attitude made me believe in wrestling more than anyone else's.
