Reason for Jericho vs. Ryback, Vince Really Having Surgery, Top Stars Supporting Hennig

Posted by Marc Middleton on January 31, 2013 at 9:04 AM

- We noted before that The Rock trained with Michael McGillicutty to prepare for his Royal Rumble match. Rock is now supporting McGillicutty and he’s always had Triple H backing him. No word yet on why he continues to be kept on the lower end of the roster. There’s been a big push to get rid of his name and call him Joe Hennig but WWE officials are so against real names these days because they want to full own everyone’s ring name.

- Vince McMahon is legitimately having surgery done on his left hip soon. Vince has had a bad hip for some time now. The storyline injury from Brock Lesnar was done as a reason to take off for the surgery.

- As noted before, the early word on plans for Chris Jericho’s return is that he will feud with Dolph Ziggler before turning heel and facing Ryback at WrestleMania 29. The idea would be to use Jericho to get Ryback back where he was. Jericho felt back in October that Hell In a Cell was the right time for Ryback to take the WWE Title.

  It’s probably going to happen. It’s WWE’s creative we’re talking about.

    At least Jericho does not mind helping others. When was the last time Rock or Cena put someone over?
    - CMmox

    - fud pucker
      
      you dumbass what about y2j,angle brock just to name a few the rock is the goat so quit bitching
- Sean Patrick
  
  Jericho is offering to do the favor. That is why he is great and gets to come go as he pleases. He has no problem putting a young guy over on the way out, just like he did with Ziggy. I’m excited to see what he can get out of Ryback.

  and yet you complain the rock didn’t put punk over …wrestling fans surpass all levels of hypocrasy and don’t give me the ryback isn’t talented enough bullshit ..
Chelsii

For once I’m confidant to say that Jericho was wrong about Ryback in October. He’d still be wrong regardless about Ryback.

JOE! JOE! JOE! Come on WWE give this guy a push!

But Ryback is awful. He has no business getting anywhere near the WWE title.

  He may be awful but hes over, you don’t get a push if you don’t draw.

If they don’t want to call him Joe Hennig, Michael Hennig is good enough. Anything else than McGillicutty.
- CMmox
  
  No offence Beulah…
- matthew
  
  yea call him picture perfect mike hennig knowing wwe they will change it to hennig joe

chris jericho is past his prime…. he understands his responsibility is to put young guys over ..much respect to him for doing that
- Suicide
  
  Past he’s prime? yeah like The Rock should

Ryback could be back where he was when he won the rumble and not Cena and regarding Joe Hennig WWE officials are the dumpest People the world has seen, they destroy the big legacy his father left and Michael McGuillicity is by far the most ugliest ring Name in the past decade… stupid officials…
Jordan Legacy

Jericho heel again?? … well okay, but at least make him keep his Y2J gimmick, because I do not want to see that still walking, suit wearing Jericho. It was okay, but I like the heel Y2J!! Like back in 2002.

So they are just going to make Chris Jericho be Rybacks tv program… that is stupid, he could have a huge wrestlemania build instead of using him to get a guy who is already over get more over.

Yes Ryback is over, just because the Internet fans hate him don’t mean he isn’t. Listen to the way the fans errupt when he enters. As far as I go, I’m on the fence with him. He just needs to knock off all the animated taunts during matches and i’m sure people will take him more serious.
