If they really wanted to push him as a monster again, they could have done the dressing up as Sister Abigail thing and played it off fine. That being said, I wouldn't have trusted WWE's writers to make the most of it.

 

[A.E]

I (understandably) haven't watched WWE in a minute. Somebody explain to me why Glen Jacobs is in the title picture again? 
 
Can they just put the strap on Braun already? 

 

[Pugz]

they want braun to deal with big guys. and keep him away from roman most importantly

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

That and pretty much a token run.

 

[A.E]

I get it but do we even take Kane serious as a “monster” anymore? It’s obvious he’s nothing more than a filler.

Nope, but pretty much it wasn't Kane in this position it probably would of been Big Show or maybe Mark Henry.

I’d much prefer WWE move past the Attitude Era holdovers and finally turn a page

25th anniversary of Raw is coming up lol I will be at that show

Are you gonna be at Barclays or the Manhattan Center?

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Are you gonna be at Barclays or the Manhattan Center?

 
Barclays, Manhattan center is ridiculous to actually get into and tickets are extremely expensive. Gotta see the typical Royal Rumble battle before the PPV

 

[Teagz]

I'm excited to see how the Manhattan Center looks with the current WWE production. I'm expecting it'll look somewhat like Full Sail but it'd be cool if they do something a little more "raw," ya know

 

[Pugz]

that raw is gonna be so bad

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

It's going to be interesting seeing who goes where. I think most of the SD people would be at the Manhattan Center.

 

[elcheato]

Why are there two venues?

 

[Big Bid'Ness]

Why are there two venues?

 
Being that the 25th anniversary is here in NY they are going back to the original building where Raw began and it give WWE more money to profit off of lol.

On Talk is Jericho Chris Jericho calls NJPW more exciting than WWE
 
"At this point in my career, I am only going to do the things that interest me the most, such as the idea of the Alpha vs. Omega match. I could have went back to WWE for another Wrestlemania, but I know I wouldn’t be part of the main event and would get pushed to the middle of the card. If I'm not working with guys like Braun Strowman or Brock Lesnar, I would be working someone I've worked with a thousand times before. I rather wrestle someone new, like Kenny Omega at the top of Wrestle Kingdom. Its the most exciting thing I can think of at the moment."

 

[Pugz]

hes still selling that. it may be true but hes wwe until he dies.

 

[A.E]

NJPW Jericho is actually refreshing. His body isn't what it used to be at 47 but fuck, neither is mine at 34. He's able to shoot as a heel and without limitation. It's nice to see Jericho portraying a character that isn't making dumb jokes or occupying time with gimmicky segments.
 
The only thing that drives me nuts about NJPW is their lack of delineation between heel and face. For example, Jericho established himself as a heel while fighting Omega, the leader of Bullet Club. Bullet Club is the NWO of NJPW and very much a heel stable. Or am I wrong about that? I have no idea and that's kind of my point.

 

[The Guid]

Maybe it's more of a "them vs us" thing. Bullet Club is a heel stable but it's still NJPW. Jericho is the outsider.
