WWE RAW 1/2/2012 - itbegins...with Punk vs. Ziggler

[TheSDQQKidJoe]

'Hi' would've been nice.

That WOULD of been a good start.

 

[Nate DaMac]

THAT WAS TERRIBLE! HOW DARE THEY NOT GIVE ME INSTANT SATISFACTION AND MAKE ME WAIT? THOSE PROMOS CLEARLY INDICATED THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE ANSWERED WITHIN A 10 MINUTE WINDOW, WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT IN SUSPENSE FOR A CONCLUSION!? GRRR....

 

[mooseman]

Everyone knew Jericho coming back would get a pop. Instead of the typical route of either insulting the crowd or taking out Punk he just did whatever he could to annoy the crowd from cheering to booing.

 

[¡Roján!]

The wait for Jericho's debut was longer than the actual segment with him returning. I'm sure of it.

 

[gd]

ON YOUR KNEES BITCHES, JACK SWAGGA IS THE REAL REASON TO WATCH TONIGHT

 

[somehetero]

That doesn't look planned. The camera man wouldn't give up the camera, and Cole and Lawler haven't even acknowledged Jericho after the break. Did Jericho just do something terrible? I'm terrified that he was fucked up on something.

 

[AnvilForever]

It has to be said - fuck you Memphis. What an awful, awful crowd.

Hey, they finally got it up for Jericho, and they were getting into his crowd pointing. Then they blew it.

 

[The Brain]

'Hi' would've been nice.

Would it have been?

 

[J.J.]

Jericho jumping on the Mic would've been too typical. I like the unexpected.

 

[MizisAwesome]

Is Kane going to no show like Jericho?

 

[Mailman]

Weren't there teleprompters set up in the ring when he came out?

 

[Moon Knight]

It has to be said - fuck you Memphis. What an awful, awful crowd.

Trend nationwide.

 

[Rising Savior]

No kane. Great idea real monsters shouldn't be in tag team matches.

 

[TheSDQQKidJoe]

Smelling those shenanigans again

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Horseshit, Brain. You don't do six weeks of vignettes and have one of the biggest names in recent history return and not resolve a goddamn thing. It's horrible booking.

If you watched tonight and if you still want to know what the fuck everything is all about it is brilliant.

 

[Con T.]

Returning from a year and half off, he just got some of the crowd to boo him without saying a word or attacking anyone. Jericho is a master

The level at which some people will try to defend a shit segment is particularly disgusting

 

[Blizz]

OMG 'IT BEGINS' IS DAVID OTUNGA! HE'S BACK

 

[Mr. Artistic guy]

Kane's never let me down... except for that feud with Edge last year. I'm putting my faith in big red.

 

[Dutchboy241]

I'm just convinced Clay died some time ago and the WWE is just covering it up.

 

[CDR]

Is Kane going to no show like Jericho?

Um, Jericho was there. Did you not see him? He pranced around for like 10 minutes.

 

[Harthan]

He's back. Why isn't that enough for now? What could he have done that would have been so great?

Maybe - maybe, mind you - if it hadn't dragged out for ten minutes. This was just absurd. You cut a promo. It's how wrestling works. There are few inviolable tenets of wrestling, but when you build shit like this up, you cut a promo at the very least. It didn't have to be a substantial promo. If he had gotten on the mic and ran his catchphrases, that'd be fine. Ten minutes of Jericho running around the arena without a single word? It's an absolutely horrible way to finish the build. I don't care if he does explain his motives next week. We emotionally invested in six weeks of vignettes, and they threw it in our faces.

 

[Gregor_Samsa]

This was awesome. It was such a middle finger to the IWC.

 

[SD619]

Jericho should interfere in this match

 

[TheSDQQKidJoe]

I'm figuring Jericho's going to join the whole Embrace the Hate movement that Kane started.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

Looks like Ryder's "Main Event Push" is stil on and the interwebs are still full of morons that will believe everything they read and think they understand.
