If anything he could easily be Laurinaitis’ enforcer/bodyguard

Well, I’ll be working here Tuesday morning (Monday night for Raw), so I’ll miss the Jan 2nd reveal. But let the speculation and laughs continue!
Dirt sheets and the /wooo/ message board saying Jericho, Taker, and McCool have been spotted near Tennessee.
Wiz gave Stu an afforded vacation.
Still hoping it’s Benoit.
That above pic confirms my suspicions that Braden Walker will be returning tonight.
Knock Knock.
Jericho’s going to return off of those uber serious dark promos still rocking that haircut, c’mon man!
I swear if Undertaker returns I’ll be soo pissed. I’m soo freaking tired of his meaningless big returns. My biggest hope is that its jericho but thats not gon happen :/. Btw DOLPH VS CM PUNK TONIGHT YESSS! I love both these 2. Dolph is the best dam athlete on the roster and I feel a fed between him and Punk will be great
Have a feeling Undertaker and Jericho are both coming back tonight. One will probably interrupt the other.
I’m still tryna figure out how the whole “Prophetless” thing in the teaser connects to either of their characters
With the way they’ve been treating the product right now, having Undertaker AND Jericho would be spitting in the face of all the positive reception they’ve received. They’re actually pushing young new guys, making Raw somewhat interesting and most importantly they’re doing something new with Cena. The product is just so interesting and refreshing now that I absolutely don’t give a fuck about either of the 2 possible candidates that will appear tonight that are way past their prime. There’s a time and a place for that sort of stuff. It’s on Thursdays at 9 PM on Spike TV.
I don’t put Jericho in the same category as most other returning superstars just looking for a payday. He actually understands the business and knows how to put over younger stars. Not to mention he’s interesting and good with promos, so he can actually hold his own on a mic vs Punk unlike Johnny Ace, Kevin Nash, Del Rio, or Miz.
I think Punk v Jericho over the title of the Best in the World would be far and away more interesting than anyone else he could feud with right now.
Undertaker returning will depend on who is going to fight at WM28. If it’s HHH AGAIN then yeah, I don’t care for it at all…but if it’s a younger guy or someone who makes more sense? Yeah, I’m all for it.
No surprise on Jericho’s returning tonight. If Undertaker returning as well, he should go back to being a “badass” again.
I see what ur saying and I agree with you to an extent. Its just that the product, more specifically Raw is lacking in main event and mid carder talent, and it is due to a lack of main event heels to greatly solidify top faces. And one can blame that on the creative team and we can say that all we need to do is build up the younger stars more better, but lets consider the time frame we’re in. Wrestlemania is right around the corner, and other than that failure of a fued between Rock and Cena and another what I predict to be a lackluster match and almost meaningless match between HHH and Undertaker. From what I see from the current product I see nothing that can create a groundbreaking wrestlemania around the young talent such as Dolph Ziggler, Punk, Swagger etc. I think a Jericho would be very helpful in making a CM Punk get to Austin status. Think Bret vs Austin Wrestlemania 13. Anyways I’d be all for your idea but in this season we’re in where WM is around the corner I think it would be good if a Jericho does come back. Jus my thoughts
Most of the dirt sheets are saying that so far the WM28 card is going to be this:
WWE Title:
Chris Jericho vs. CM Punk ©
Icon vs. Icon
The Rock vs. John Cena
Career vs. Streak
HHH vs. The Undertaker (W/ Special Guest Referee: Shawn Michaels)
WHC Title:
Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler
WWE Tag Title
Epico and Hunico vs. The Uso’s
Diva’s Title:
Beth Phoenix vs. Natalya
The rest of the card has yet to be filled.
But who knows?
I guess that would mean Dolph wins the Royal Rumble then? Though, I’ve heard things from D-Bry/Show/Henry for WHC, to Show/Henry just having another match.
Maybe. Who knows? Orton is still up in the air despite reports of him returning before the Rumble. He was actually scheduled to win the Royal Rumble and face Daniel Bryan. So I’m sure the creative team is having a panic attack and Vince is ripping his quads in anger.
Sorry for the double post. But for those who follow EVOLVE and Dragon gate USA, January 14th is EVOLVE 10: Tribute to the Arena.
It is the last wrestling show that will be hosted at the Arena due to new managment no longer wanting to use it for sporting events (douche).
The main event is the Open the Freedom Gate (DGUSA’s Main Singles Title) Champion Johnny Gargano vs. Ricochet.
They are also doing a post show “Tribute to the Extreme” to pay tribute to the company and the wrestlers who made the Arena a world over known wrestling venue.
Anyways, here is the hype video for Gargano vs. Ricochet. It’s pretty amazing.

I would book Lesnar/Undertaker for Wrestlemania 28, for it to work Undertaker would have to go into American bad ass mode.
copied verbatum, from that other forum I post at.
[LEFT]THink of the Undertaker/Lesnar feud and how it would play on TV. you get Undertaker on a show like MMAlive on HDnet to talk about why he dislikes Lesnar. Then you have Lesnar go on Jim Rome, call Undertaker a carnie who wouldn’t last in a real fight with him.
Get Ariel helwani to interview both.
Blam you get the MMA Brock fans, to see how he does this “fake stuff”
You confuse people by having them talk trash on radio/TV. Undertaker goes to EVERY ufc card anyways.
for this to work, Undertaker has to be the American Bad Ass. STraight shooting about his yard. About respect. About how he made BRock famous.
Then Brock has to act as heel as possible. HE doesn’t owe anybody anything. He got to where he was because he earned it.
Then you have Brock “host” a RAW, and get interrupted by Undertaker. Pull apart Brawl. boom wrestlemania 28.
Honestly if WWE writers read this board, this is a basic skeleton for what they need to do to build towards a match at wrestlemania. Throw 3 million at Brock and a cut of the PPV and live gate money. People would want to watch this feud play out, and while Brock is still relevant in people’s brains as a megastar UFC champ.
