It's amusing to read the WWE "fan" reaction to Chris Jericho's return. Many are calling it an absolute disaster the way he just played up the live crowd and didn't get on the mic to cut a promo.

Amazing because the "Excellence in Column Writing" just so happened to predict this result YESTERDAY for the RAW Review


RAW is TITO from 1/2/11
To start, let's talk about It Begins... After much speculation by the Internet Wrestling Community, as I didn't take the bait on this one, it turns out that the promos were for the returning Chris Jericho. I think his Tweets about never wrestling for the WWE "ever again" were a giveaway. I held out some hope that it could be the Undertaker, but I think they'll hold him out for Wrestlemania time. Taker made quite an effective return last year before Wrestlemania 27.

Jericho came out and said nothing... Just played up the Memphis crowd. Many will criticize this segment or use of Jericho, hoping for a promo instead... In all honestly, I don't care... For one, Chris Jericho is BACK. It's much needed superstar depth to the WWE roster especially at a time when two key pieces are out with injury (Alberto Del Rio, Randy Orton). Secondly, Jericho not getting on the mic this week makes you anticipate what he'll say next week, right?


Settle down, Internet Wrestling Community (IWC)... You have a lot of nerve calling me a "troll" and a miserable fan, yet you're hammering Jericho for saying nothing last week. Don't you want to tune in next week to hear what he might possibly say?

In fact, if I were the WWE, I'd read into this ridiculously negative reaction by the drive-by IWC and have Chris Jericho do the SAME EXACT THING next week. That's right, I want him to SAY NOTHING and play up the crowd, AGAIN. Give all of the high-fives that you can and act like you're trying to appeal to the live crowd only. In fact, do it for many weeks in a row!

There lacks any anticipation in today's WWE. For example, the WWE just threw together the Intercontinental Champion (Cody Rhodes) vs. the World Heavyweight Champion (Daniel Bryan) with ZERO HYPE behind it and as the second segment on RAW. How insulting. When it was champion versus champion back in the day, it was a BIG DEAL. Now, it's just some random match on RAW and months later, the WWE will wonder why Cody Rhodes and Daniel Bryan aren't over.

Let Chris Jericho purposely tick off fans. The more fans get upset that he's saying NOTHING, the better.

What would you rather have happen instead? Jericho get on the mic and cut a promo as to why he's back? OK, then what for the next week? He's just another brick in the WWE wall. Another wrestler with zero anticipation for what he'll do next. Yay, we have a full roster full of those thanks to the WWE Creative Team doing so many things wrong. However, with Chris Jericho's return, the WWE Creative Team might be doing something ring.

Tune in next week... If Jericho does the SAME EXACT THING by just playing up the live crowd without any spoken word on the mic, the WWE Creative Team might be on to something and the cheers will quickly turn into boos (they were beginning to turn that way at the end of Jericho's segment on RAW).

Just a little patience... Yeah... Don't you want to tune in next week to see what Chris Jericho will do next?

So just chill... Till the next episode!
