    The Y2J segment was...awkward, but you know it's heading somewhere. I...just don't know where.

    This is my opinion.

    You have one of the all time greats return after a, what, 18 month absence? The fans are going to cheer for him no matter what. Problem is, he is one of the greatest heels and needs to stay that way. So, you bring him out, he gets his cheers, and then he does what he did and eventually has people booing him 10 minutes after cheering for him. It was actually pretty brilliant if you ask me.

    If Steph is indeed his "she" then this could get very interesting very quickly. I saw some pics of her working out this morning. She looks to be in fantastic shape, with some unconfirmed reports saying she's lost 80 pounds. I'll post if I can. She's looking better then ever. I found them, here you go...

    As if I needed more of an excuse to be in love with Steph...

    Dayum!

    Exactly. It doesn't make for compelling TV for his first time back (or at least as compelling as it could be), but it's a means to a hopefully fantastic end.

    I really, really didn't want the "It's like face Jericho never left" feeling, with the "Welcome to RAW Is Jericho" and "Never, eeeeeeeeeeeever" crap. He was absolutely thriving as a d-bag heel (or whatever you'd describe him as), and he needs to stay that way.

    And holy crap, Steph. Like a BOSS.

    In an interesting series of events, Kevin Nash has challenged Ultimate Warrior to an MMA fight. To make a long story short, Warrior made a comment on twitter about Nash, Nash saw it and challenged him to a fight. Here's the video of Warrior's response. Pretty entertaining, actually.

    I'm no huge Warrior fan, but everything he says about Nash is true.

    Yeah, it absolutely is. I've been checking out a lot of his YouTube videos. He does, I guess you would call it, motivational speaking in his videos. They're actually pretty good. Sometimes he seems a little off his rocker, but he hits the nail on the head with a lot of stuff. He has a bunch of videos called, "It does matter", 7 I believe. I've watched a few and he makes a lot of really good points about life in general. He might be a little bit of a weird dude, but I think he's actually helping some people with this stuff. I certainly respect what he's doing a lot more than other older wrestlers.

    If Johnny Ace is playing the heel card, fine. But why do they need to have him repeat every single week that he's the interim GM and all that crap? It goes beyond just playing a heel card to super annoying, and it really ruins the show.

    It was horrible...How are you going to take him seriously?

    Jericho looks like he is going to do the same thing he did last week.

    I knew there was a reason I stopped watching wrestling (besides growing up a little), and this is one of the reasons why.

    You put out a video hyping his return for weeks and this is what you do with him for the first 2 weeks?

    No matter what comes from this, this is a stupid way to (re)debut him.
