Jerichos return was wack

I missed RAW, but I saw the video someone was kind enough to post. Fucking awesome shit. Jericho knocking down the marathon runner was great. I didn't expect it, and it was like an Eric Bischoff walking past Booker T moment. More of a "WTF?" prelude to something greater. Jerry Lawler did his best to ruin it, "That could only be one man!" Thanks, Jerry. I thought the whole purpose of that segment was to tease everyone? Usually the WWE act like idiots when the result is obvious. The one time they have a bit of mystery (because let's face it, Jericho doesn't look too much like Jericho anymore), they blow it so quickly.

Jim Ross was also off, too. I hate it when he points out the ovations a guy gets. Look, if the crowd is happy to see someone, we can tell. Usually the reaction is underwhelming, and you saying it's great does not help as much as you think. Let the crowd reaction speak for itself. Focus instead on the moment, rather than the factors surrounding it.

I don't get the complaints about Jericho's image. I think he looks good with the short hair, personally. As far as the jacket goes, I'm fairly certain Jericho has been busting out gay vests since the early days of his career. I'd rather see the old Jericho (or at least shades of him) than a new "Marine" Chris Jericho.

The promo was great. I don't know how it could have been too much better. It wasn't the funniest or the greatest of all-time, but it was a Chris Jericho level promo. He was a little rusty, but who cares? His delivery was better than pretty much anyone else on the roster. It was fun, it was filled with Jericho goodness, and the Sexy Beast is back, baby. The only thing that could have maybe made it a little better, is if he came up with a name for Randy Orton. I hope that's next week, though. You can't blow everything right away.

I'm not sure whether Chris Jericho should win the WWE Championship at Armageddon, or not. On one hand, fuck yes, it's Jericho, and he's just the best, freshest and most exciting guy the WWE has now. Of course he should be one of their World Champions. On the other hand, Jericho getting screwed somehow (some kind of DQ finish), or maybe just playing up ring rust/an underestimation of Orton by Jericho (it's risky, but I think good writing, which the WWE has actually been getting better with recently, if you ask me...just within the last week, so the trend probably won't continue), and you could have Jericho enter the Royal Rumble, win it, and go on to headline WrestleMania, and win the WWE Championship there.

I'm sticking with my opinion that the main event of WrestleMania 24 should be Shawn Michaels defending the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho.
