Y! 2! J!

For those, like me, who have given up on WWE, here is the return of Chris "Lionheart/Y2J" Jericho on last Monday's RAW. Sadly this also means watching Randy Orton stumble his way through his limited mic skills...

What does the Orton family have on the McMahon family?

[prowler7]

Bob Sr or Jr MUST have some major dirt on the McMahon family for Jr to have had such a long career in the WWF and for his talentless son to now be the Champ. Seriously, NOBODY in the Orton family could EVER work a mike (which is why Jr always hid behind managers and charismatic wrestlers like Piper), but at least they can wrestle, I will give them that much.

Who says it has to be dirt? It could just be sheer ass-kissing business as usual for the the narcissistic Vince...

Yeah, but can ass kissing get you the cushy jobs that the Ortons have had over the years? I dunno, you may be right though.

I just think that Orton fits the WWE's "formula" so well that he'll keep getting pushed. Orton is muscular, has been able to speak in the past (the RNN updates were a thing of beauty), and can at least be carried to a good match.

And even though he doesn't speak on the mic very well, the fans don't like him. So he keeps getting booed. Which, in a fed desperate for top-level heels, makes him a clear choice to be pushed.

That's Chris Jericho? Boy does he look different from the last time I saw him in 99.

And is Y2J still a worthwhile name? Do kids even understand the reference?

And the speaking capabilities between the two are pretty obvious. I understand now why the days of the Rock and Mankind were so engrossing.
