The Walls Have Broken Down

Are you mad? You have blumpkin in your name, how can anyone take you seriously?

Haha im not much of a wrestling person. But that guy does look pretty lubed up.

"Are you mad? You have blumpkin in your name, how can anyone take you seriously?"

That IS true.

For some reason when I heard the walls have broken down as the topic title I automatically thought Chris Jericho (sp?) just cause his special is called walls of jericho.

When I used to watch pro wrestling Jericho was always entertaining to watch.

I havent watch WWE for ages, used to quite injoy the odd PPV. And yeah, that old shot of Jericho is one of the worst I have seen. Why was he fired? Is it just some sort of stunt or part of the plot?

Well the pun was intentional. I could have said the "Lion Has Been Tamed," but people might not catch on to that one.

If he's really fired, this is more upsetting than 1UP getting laid off. Confirmed.

People watch this stuff...

Just tune in next week when Vince re-hires him.

He looks like a douche bag. Is that what sells these days? I'm not surprised they fired him. For real though, the truth will come out sooner or later. Maybe he does not only look like a douche bag, but is a douche bag as well. Maybe the WWE is being shifty. Either way I wouldn't be surprised?

"Here I am, excited to watch another episode of Monday Night Raw, when Chris Jericho is fired right at the offset. I refuse to watch professional wrestling until this is rectified. I'm on strike. Thanks WWE. Lets hope this is some skit that gets solved on the next week of Raw, if not. There's nothing to live for."

y2j ftw

I refuse to watch professional wrestling...

I've never watched wrestling too much, but I stopped watching all together when 'The Rock' left the business. That guy made that wrestling show epic, in my opinion.

@SpaceInsomniac: You know I thought about it, but in the end I decided to name it something witty so that d-bags like you would give me another hit. You could have very well noticed said parenthesis around the word "blog."

That's an old picture of Jericho by the way, when he was decidedly more loved and hilarious...and wore pants.

You could have very well noticed said parenthesis around the word "blog."

Why was he fired anyway?

It's all kayfabe, so get the sand outta your vagina.

And as much as I've marked for Jericho in everything from his Lionheart days in ECW and WAR, his Ralphus days in WCW and his Y2J days in WWE in all their flamboyant glory, the current short haired, suit wearing Jericho is fucking amazing. Such a masterful heel. Verbose, cunning and justified.
He's not the bad guy cause he's bad. He has a perfectly good reasonable reason for being how he is and that's when a heel is at it's best.

Foley said it best in his first book, "The best heel is completely convinced taht he's doing the right thing" and you see the progression over the last year from his return to save us all from Orton's reign, to being screwed over, feeling that the fans hav let him down, questioning Shawn's integrity, being proven right and still getting booed and now seeing himself as beacon of light who should rightfully be at the top. It's story progression and depth that is far too clever than most things WWE shit out. I'm curious if Jericho has a hand in how his angle has gone. I remember hearing that him, Christian and Trish were very hands on in their angle a few years ago which was some of the better love triangle angles in the business I've ever seen.
