It really wasn't a high horse, either. He just dismissed BDC's negative opinion on the thing in a playful manner. That's how I interpreted it, anyway. It's really difficult to explain yourself when you have two guys yelling "made up arguments!" at you over and over again. I don't even think Narc was "arguing." He was just saying that Jericho has been good since he's been back. BDC is entitled to his opinion, but he is in the extreme minority as far as his "I hope Jericho fails and becomes a jobber" views go. Quote:

As far as the rating goes, it's got me a bit confused. Jericho is not the anti-draw. Jericho returning would not decrease ratings. I don't care if your point is that people don't care, I can not imagine a viewer sitting at home and then saying "Hey! Those videos are coming to an end next week! I am not going to watch for the first time in months!" That angle doesn't make sense to me, either. Some people would have watched for the return, other people were probably watching something else (because the WWE is pretty crappy, general speaking, these days), and others would not have been clued in. It's a confusing rating, because you don't have too much to judge on what people know. That's why I'm saying wait until this week's rating, and just see how the rating goes with Jericho as the top babyface. And if ratings just even out (which they probably will), the response will be the same as it has been from the beginning. "No one expected Jericho to really help ratings. They just want him to make the product a little more entertaining." |

Sorry, still in argument mode. But I do agree with Jeritron here. Anyone can be made a main eventer, but not everyone is appropriate to the role. For example, Snitsky and Big Daddy V. The WWE is pushing them both pretty strong, but neither guy really has much hope of getting there, staying there and retaining credibility. Talent, of some sort, is a huge key to success. Warrior was also part of a different era. Kids bought people like him at the time, because wrestling did not have the bad reputation it currently has. Kids were able to take Warrior lunchboxes to school, and not get picked on. A guy did not have to be as good at his job as he has to be now, because wrestling was perceived as a lot more "real." It was less how good a guy was, and more how good you were told he was. |

I see my name pop up a few times in all of 'Noid's posting and I have time to read them as well. But for some reason I just don't give a fuck. I'm going to assume he is pushing for a Basham's title run again. And some how expects me to book it. While I could book it so they would be madly over, I just don't want too.

Also, the "Have you ever refuted...?" statement was not only directed towards Narc, not Alienoid, but I quoted him in it.
Alienoid, I'll fully fucking admit that you've gotten me here and there. Fuck, the fact that I've quit responding to most of that shit is a victory by default. The difference between one of your posts and this: Quote:
Narc is also a prick. Try to understand where I'm coming from. |

LOL @ Road Dogg's comment. "Shut up bitch!" Caught me off guard. Also - Jericho was freakin' awesome.....at that time. Why can't he just go back to being like THAT. I swear - if Jericho acted like THAT and ACTED like a TWEENER (independent of how the fans reacted towards him), Jericho would be in a position where he could draw (provided the WWE let him get wins over legit main-event guys). |

By the way, I'm going to go on record and say that there is an off chance that Jericho's return did hurt Raw. It's unlikely, but it's possible. My argument, specifically, in noting that Raw ratings were down however was to indicate that Jericho certainly didn't cause a ratings spike.
Kudos to people who understood that "Jericho didn't help ratings" does not automatically mean "Chris Jericho--Ratings Killer." In all probability, Jericho will mean next to nothing to the ratings one way or another. I mean, it's possible that he will, but if I were to gamble on it, it would be on "Jericho not significantly affecting Raw's ratings one way or the other." |

He certainly has the power to draw in old fans of his. But even though hes a cult favorite, most people who were fans of him are probably the ones who were still watching through these bad times anyways.
And as for him drawing back fans who left, I think he does have that power. But it's not good enough. They have to be kept there. They need to become interested again and it's gonna take the whole promotion turning around to do that. Save Stone Cold or The Rock returning to full time action I don't think anything from the past can sustain higher ratings for a period of time long enough to be considered anythg more than a small spike. I think the most important thing is the current fans and drawing in new fans. Jericho just needs to do what he does and he'll get over with the current fans and get new fans, just like he did in 2000. |

You know, if you really wanted to get into it you could go back to 2001 and talk about how if Jericho was pushed the right way then and allowed to reach top star status and become successor to The Rock/Austin instead of HHH.....then perhaps this return would have more impact, or the promotion wouldn't need saving.
just a thought. |

The ONE thing that Jericho had (has?) going for him (similar to Austin, The Rock, and Undertaker), is that Jericho can be over HUGELY as a heel AND a face. Very very few people nowadays have the ability to be wildly successful as faces. Triple H, Kurt Angle, Randy Orton, and numerous others are all wrestlers who simply cannot deliver as faces (atleast if their past is of any indication). Jericho however, CAN. I also agree that if Jericho was pushed the right way in 2001, then yes - he WOULD have been the next heir apparent to The Rock. No question. If things were up to me, I would have had Jericho, not Angle, feud with Austin at Summerslam 2001....and beyond. If it was up to me, I would have had Jericho feud with The Rock......both as faces.....and let the fans naturally gravitate towards Jericho (it was around this time the fans were slowly starting to get tired of The Rock). If it was up to me, Jericho's title victory over Triple H actually would have happened. The Rock and Triple H were wildly over enough as it was....and didn't need the title. Jericho carrying the strap at that time (especially in the manner that he went over Triple H) would have been perfect. |

The WCW and nWo coming in, and HHH coming back is what threw a wrench in it all.
It was clear after Wrestlemania 17 that they were about to bump Jericho up to the big time. In a perfect situation he would have fueded with Austin or Rock for the title going into Wrestlemania 18. And fued with the other one before that during the summer or fall of 2001. Austin/Jericho could have been immense, and its seeds got trampled on once the WCW was bought. Jericho/Rock was immense in fall of 01, and could have been the most amazing Wrestlemania build and fued ever for Wrestlemania 18. Had Rock and not Jericho turned on the WWF and gone heel, it would have taken the right direction. And if it weren't for them focusing on nWo and HHH they wouldn't have fucked up so much potential in Jericho as the company star, the Wrestlemania main event, and the prospect of a high profile Rock/Jericho or Austin/Jericho fued for the title.

Not exactly so, but if you go far enough back, almost any change beyond the absolutely most trivial could have had an impact to alter the course of history sufficiently. On the other hand, there's also the point that if everything had been done right, the programming would be radically different anyway. On some level, I think we're all aware of that. On the other hand, that's pointless, even by IWC standards. WWE can actually do a lot to save itself in the here and now, and that's where their actions really matter. It would be great if Vinnie Mac could just hop into the Wayback Machine and dial up 2003 or whenever, but he can't. What he can do, I suppose, is listen to the fans in the here and now. the ones who Yawn when DX comes out, barely pop for the biggest faces, and barely give heat to the biggest heels. The ones who have become indifferent to the programming. And maybe that's not as good as going back in time, using Jericho better, and whatever, but they've got him now, and that's all that matters. |

I swear Noble used the same move abotu 2 or 3 weeks ago? Anyway, it's no Walls of Jericho, though he does have a knack at good move names imo.

You can see the real ratings as early as tomorrow afternoon, depending. The BS ratings the dirt sheets usually have, I dunno. But in probably 24 hours, they'll be up.
(I say probably because Nielsen updates every Wednesday, officially, meaning their tendency to be early is nice, but not to be epected) |

Jamie Noble probably used a fireman's carry into a double knee gutbuster. Both moves use two knees, but they are quite different.
