Jericho and KO are easily the best parts of Raw these days. Those two are absolute gold. Both of them blaming Reigns had me pissing my pants in laughter.
I'm amazed at how easily Jericho has been able to revamp his character. All it took was a stupid list gimmick.

Re: OT: The WWE Thread - Part 2
WWE has never been so boring. There are just no compelling story lines. Their writers continue to flat out suck. Vince has so much money, I don't get why he doesn't get some of these Hollywood writers to write his shows. We live in an era with so many great shows on TV and Netflix. Vince could drastically improve Raw and SD by making them more like a TV show with dramatic story lines and cliff hangers and so on. Right now, you can miss weeks and month's of WWE and you won't miss anything. It's the same **** every week.

The problem has been too much scripting. The WWE was at its best when the wrestlers built their own characters and spoke off the cuff in character. It's too rehearsed and boring. The wrestlers aren't allowed to play off the crowd, they have to stick to the script even when the crowds aren't buying in. Prime example is Roman Reigns. If The Rock was to debut these days, he'd be stuck as Rocky Mavia come hell or highwater, rather than evolve into The Rock.

One of the best segments of the year.
Jericho always adds little things that develop over time and boom. When he came back last time, he began by trolling the crowd and started to hate on them, then wearing suits and using big words and he was awesome.
This time, he started to wear scarves, began to have a smug look and walk and then the list and boom. He's probably the most consistent performer ever.

Vince does use Hollywood writers. That's the problem. The show isn't written by wrestling fans.
