I would bet my life Jericho returns at some point.

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.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

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.

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.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

RAW had a 2.4 rating this week.

Ouch.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Does he deserve some WOTY votes?

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.

Some lulz...AJ gets "fired" because of her canoodling with talent (that has to be some sort of real thing coming to storyline, for sure)...but, Teddy Long had to be married like 5 times and was always involved with a Diva in story...

Holla Holla, playa.

 

[FedEx227]

Remember you're 12 so you don't remember that.

 

[EmpireWF]

Double standards, just like real life.

Don't you see, WWE is hardcore realism, we're all too smart to realize it. :yao:

Yeah, but none of that happened since the last PPV cycle, so it never happened.

Triple H never wrestled Undertaker at WrestleMania before 2010, either.

 

[FedEx227]

You have to remember that Vince doesn't remember what they did (which has been corroborated by numerous ex-writers).

And supposedly gets angry about it when noob writers bring things up.

"I don't remember that, do you think our fans do??!!"

Um, yeah. They aren't 70 years old and most have invested years in your product and for some reason still enjoy it. They remember.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Does anybody still watch "Main Event"? Has it turned into a B show yet?

 

[FedEx227]

I forget it's on. I watched a few weeks of it.

 

[SuperKevin]

Is that the new show on ION?

 

[FedEx227]

Yeah, the one that opened with a barely advertised Champion vs. Champion match.

Hogan vs. Flair in 1989 on Prime Time Wrestling.
