    I would bet my life Jericho returns at some point.

      I didn't mean to say never, but I would guess it wouldn't be after this tour. Some of his comments seem bitter, and if I were Jericho booked the way he was on this return, I would be bitter too.

        Jericho should go to TNA where the schedule is more forgiving

          He has been pretty adamant for a while that it is very difficult to work with the WWE at this point in his life. He's got so many interests outside of the WWE bubble that Vince is opposed to him doing while working for the WWE, its tough to come to terms with a regular WWE deal. He can't tour with Fozzy, he can't tape random shows, he can't do certain appearances while under WWE contract, so, that is why he does these little short contracts.

            If you've read Jericho's books, he talks about doing some autograph signing for some shitty promoter, and WWE being the "major leagues" and how he will never lower himself to working anywhere else again. I don't see TNA in his future.

            Jericho is a smart dude. He will come back every year or so just in time to work his way onto the WrestleMania card to grab that fat check. Then he takes off, does his thing with Fozzy or whatever, rinse repeat.

              Of course he will...it'll just be between tours and when he has nothing better to do.

              OR, if Vince and Co. let him do other things while under contract.

                Yup.

                He will never do TNA.

                  Since the WWE basically has infinite time slots...they need to have a "WWE Legends" show...

                  Bring back legends for matches and hair them for one hour a week. Some Repo Man v. IRS in the main event with the Bezerker v. Joey Maggs on the undercard. Have Fink as the ring announcer. Van Hammer v. KoKo B. Ware.

                  You could tape once a month like NXT. It'd be hilarious.

                    The WWE took down a video of Ryback not being able to pickup Paul Heyman for his finisher lol.

                      How El Generico is not a millionaire is beyond my understanding. Far more charismatic than Sin Cara and maybe the best wrestler on the planet.

                        CHAOS top two Shinsuke Nakamura and Kazuchika Okada have decided not to team up in New Japan’s first ever World Tag League, the sequel to the long-standing G1 Tag League. The two came to the decision because they quite simply believe it’d make the tournament too one-sided as they’d win it easily, so will opt for different partners to make it more challenging. Nakamura and Okada have teamed three times so far, beating Tanahashi & Naito on 1/29 and Suwama & Shuji Kondo on 7/1, but recently losing in something of an upset to Goto & Anderson on 9/7.

                          Does he deserve some WOTY votes?

                            Someone shot me some news this morning- Ric Flair could potentially be on RAW this coming Monday and getting involved in the GM angle.

                              RAW had a 2.4 rating this week.

                              Ouch.

                                He should get serious consideration for Most Outstanding, right there with Tanahashi & Okada in my mind, he has had great matches in DDT with Ibushi, good stuff in ROH early in the year, he's had a great run with DGUSA/EVOLVE with the whole Samuray Del Sol thing, PWG, and while I can't personally comment because I haven't seen them, he supposedly had great matches in Europe as well. The guy is simply fantastic.

                                He won't win Wrestler of the Year because that factors in drawing ability etc, but he will get some token votes.
