Jericho's Run - Opinion's?

it was just done to try and pop a number, and to give Punk someone legit to work with for Mania. it was fine. Jericho always comes in, does a couple of good matches.

He still has it though. And putting him with Punk could have been brilliant. Same with Orton. The writing is just shit though. It may be at an all-time low.

I agree with this totally...the writing comes of as recycled and lazy. The storylines just seem like invented excuses to do the same matches again without any real belief that the storyline is what would invest people in the match.

It is depressing really, and I am not saying that to be critical, I am saying it as a fan who is really wanting to be interested again.

It didn't really achieve any number though, and with Rock and Taker on the card, they could have had Punk go over Orton in a rematch or something and used Kane to elevate someone like Dolph.

Like it or not, other talents that they should be trying to build were pushed down the card to include him and in my opinion it didn't make enough of an impact to be worthwhile.

If he did it to get paid, that's fine, more power to him, but I could do without it in the future. Don't think it did anything to elevate Punk either. Plenty of others for Punk to have good wrestling matches with...but yeah, I can see where you're coming from and WWE almost certainly thought the same...

The thing for me was, that the return videos were perfect in setting up him and Punk, yet we didn't get any reference to that for so long after he returned that it was all but forgotten. It was almost like he came back too early. He should have come back at the Rumble and won it as the face character, then had the heel turn on the following Raw citing the video references to the 'end of the world'.

I think how his and Punk's program turned out, might end up being one of the great WWE disappointments for me.
