The Official WWE/TNA thread

Who is this Brodus Clay guy anyways and what's so special about him, I can tell just by looking at this fat lop that he will amount to NOTHING in Professional wrestling.

 

[dkwrtw]

WOW I'm watching one of his matches on youtube right now, Brodus might just be the worst wrestler I've ever seen.

The 6th video has me going... well WTF, I really don't know what's going on because it sounds like Jericho again.

RAW last night was something of a snoozer for me... Show fighting Jennifer Hudson's husband with one arm tied behind his back? C'mon. Johnny Ace doing his best impersonation of Keanu Reeves, boring. The best parts were the Booker T vs. Cody Rhodes match, and the Punk gauntlet. The Miz's Cena confrontation and match was okay, and Truth's beatdown of him afterwards was pretty good stuff. Kane/Cena kinda bored me, as it just seemed like another way to try and force Cena over with the crowd, and it's getting really old.

I thought Raw was generally ok without being too exciting. The writing on the mirror was "He is coming" (yeah I'm that sad I went slo-mo to read it). They've done this well in the sense that nobody really knows who it is. The best thing I can say about Cena/Kane is it opens up a gap in the WWE Title market for Dolph Ziggler which is no bad thing, he gets a shot next week and I'd expect it to be Punk/Ziggler at the Rumble too. As well as Miz/Truth and Cena/Kane. It's a good enough stopgap feud until Rock/Cena comes along.

I don't really care for the Kane/Cena feud, I was expecting better than this for Kane's return.

I was thinking about it... the video played over the top of Punk this time. Which would definitely fit with it being Jericho coming back to take what was his (the best wrestler in the world angle), and all of that.

 

[dkwrtw]

I'm almost positive it's Jericho, my brother thinks it's Batista.

Here's the notebook from the earlier video... looks like it's "Chris" crossed out

 

[retro]

I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say that it's at the end of RAW...

 

[retro]

Almost time... third vignette just played.

 

[retro]

It's gotta be Jericho or... Brock. If it's Undertaker, I'm gonna be so disappointed.

 

[retro]

and I'm not actually serious about Brock.

I just have absolutely not clue who "she" is.

 

[retro]

Actually... it *is* time.

 

[retro]

Arena goes black.. Y2J chant erupts... and there he is.

:cheerleader:

 

[retro]

That was.... fucking weird. Jericho comes out, celebrates, gives out high fives, comes back to the ring, goes out and gives more high fives, repeats for a while.... and then leaves.

 

[Springsteen]

Good to have him back. I want his jacket.

 

[dkwrtw]

Happy it was Jericho. Also the scene at the end with Kane trying to drag Zack Ryder under the ring made me laugh hysterically :24:

 

[Peter Parka]

lol! How many times is he going to retire and then make a come back? He's nearly as bad as Sting, especially seeing only a couple on months ago he was saying that he's definately retired for good. His weird, over the top, face, come back is obviously leading into a heel turn at his next appearance. He only likes being a heel so can't imagine WWE could persuade him to come out of retirement to do something he dosen't enjoy.

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah he'll be a heel. He's always been a better heel anyway, especially a asshole heel.

 

[retro]

His return was actually a better heel promo than it would've been if he had actually used the mic and verbally attacked the crowd.

What've heard from Jericho is that he would only return if he could play a character that was different from what he's done in the past... something challenging for him. Something tells me we won't see a full-blown heel turn, or him as a blatant face, at least not for a while. We'll see him going after Punk, with some of the crowd behind him, and other portions of the crowd against him. To this day, Jericho ranks up there with HBK, The Rock, Austin, and a few others that will never be full-blown heel because of how much he's liked by the fans, regardless of his character.

Whoever this mysterious "she" is will also come into play somewhere as well, as that isn't something that the WWE or Jericho would use in the videos to merely throw away now that he's back. I think we could end up with another return, or an existing woman coming to his side. Well, I could see the WWE just dropping it... but not Jericho, and something tells me that he's been given a whole lot of latitude with how this story goes. This return is already better than his last one.

Oh, and Peter... this is only Jericho's second return to wrestling, the last one was in '07. He's also known for working any and everyone... so him saying that he was retired for good was either a ploy moving towards a comeback, or just something he felt like saying due to the near constant questions he gets regarding a comeback.
