So I guess Jericho will either be the new GM or the CEO?

I was disappointed, but that return was genius; Jericho managed to milk the reaction for so long that by the time he headed back up the rampway he was getting booed.
What bothers me, is that all the promos might have meant nothing at all, and served only as hype and nothing more. That would be a shame.

I love how everyone wants all the answers now but during the summer everyone was so pissy about how quickly Punk came back and the WWE rushed all that with him and Cena and the title and blah blah blah
This was PERFECT... Jericho just went from beloved face to gettin boos in 10 min without saying anything really
This was beautiful storytelling without uttering a single word... I praise Jericho and the WWE and can only imagine this will lead to some greeat angle/feud that will last until April 1st

Why did WWE make those videos then? The end of the world isn't some guy in a sparkly diamond jacket screaming 'YEAHHH!!!'. I wanted it to be some kind of 'dark' character. He's just going to be the same old heel. I'm not against Jericho coming back, he's my second favourite of all time, but why build it up to be something amazing with those promos then give us a mediocre ending. He should have had a really sinister entrance maybe with the little girl live and then attacked Punk but I guess WWE's way is best. So you're a writer now? How do you know? You don't. People are freaking out over nothing. For god sake what the is wrong with you people. Chill the out and wait until next week. This board is ing unbelieveable sometimes. You've been up the guy's ass for weeks and now he comes out and does something nobody has ever done before and all of a sudden the world's ending. God forbid someone does something creative, oh no no," THIS DA WORSEST RAW EVER ARE YOU SERIOUS BROSKIS." you're never going to enjoy the product. Not to mention the idiots saying they're going to stop watching. Go ahead morons your loss. Most of you are failing to see how genius the return really was. The other half think the promos are for nothing yet WWE.COM has posted an article breaking down the videos and hinting that the "she" from the videos will be revealed in the future. So clearly the videos do mean something. Guarantee when this angle turns out amazing this board will do a 180 and go back to the saying Jericho is God.

Lance Storm says he helped train Chris Jericho in recent weeks at his Storm Wrestling Academy in Canada to prepare for his return. Storm wrote:
"Since he’s back yes @iamjericho did come back and train with me at SWA. We spent a couple days in the ring including a 17 min match #norust"

I love Jericho as much as the next guy, but come on. I think its just stupid to build up a huge return for weeks on end then have absolutely nothing revealed. I'm starting to lose patience. I loved those promos but I dont understand why WWE would build it up so much to get nothing in return. Like whenever The Rock came back he explained he was back because he missed it and because Cena was running his mouth, now we have to wait another week? Let down. Jericho was revealed, having absolutely nothing revealed would be them just dropping these hype videos and never show them ever again

See this is WWE's way of learning from their mistake with Punk's storyline over the summer. This will be drawn out, we won't know all the cards right off the bat, they have learned how to jerk the ratings, keep us intrigued, and hopefully pull this off without a hitch better than the Punk storyline from the summer. That's the point, the boy and girl, and their place in all of this will be brought to light, but hopefully not for a while.
It keeps us online, keeps us tweeting, keeps us searching the interwebz for any and all theories or scraps of knowledge surrounding it, keeps us interested. That's the plan.
And who better to be the man to pull it off than our beloved Savior of Pro Wrestling Chris Jericho.

WWE doesn't care about ratings. All they care about is selling merchandise.

His return was amazing. Just proved the people of Memphis are idiots.

I don't think Jericho is some kind of wrestling God like most people on this forum, but I honestly believe that return last night has the potential to be genius. No, the return itself wasn't amazing. All he did was walk around and scream 'YEAHHH BABYY!', but it's where they go from here that could make it one of the best returns of all the times.

it was so awesome in every way. something completely different an unexpected. the entire time i was sitting there waiting for him to say "welcome to raw is jericho" but then i realized, that it wasn't going to be about that
jericho isn't going to come back as a face. i dont get why people are so angry about the return. everyone went on for the last year about how we wanted jericho back in the WWE, now he's back. who cares HOW?

WWE doesn't care about ratings. All they care about is selling merchandise. Considering they make millions off of their merchandise, I can see why it's a big priority. As far as ratings goes, what does that have to do with this topic or discussion? And, just for the record, they're still making millions off of the media partnerships, and the networks seems to be very happy with them, which, in the end, is what matters.

Someone brought it up on this thread. Yea, because what they do for the soldiers in Iraq and the bully campaign. But not the hardcore wrestling fans.

I did think the return was a bit disappointing but not because anything Jericho did/didn't do, i honestly just thought the crowd was dead/semi decent reactions ruined it for me. If it would have happened at any other city like Chicago (not to toot my own horn) or any other places with good crowds i think it would of came a cross a lot better.

Obviously ratings mean nothing I mean who cares if they lose USA or SyFy what do they need to be on TV for? Good one Stong.
