It's a shame too cause I thought Burke would have been great.
Too bad he is black since WWE hates black people.

How fucking wild is that!
I'll leave the floor open for anyone that wants to propose some story with Burke because quite frankly there are numerous options.
Them saying that 2009 is the year of Morrison doesn't mean much, though there is already speculation of Undertaker losing to Morrison at Mania 26 (which is in 2010)
That would be fucking stupid - the streak needs to remain IMO. It's part of what makes Taker one of the legends. There are other things as well, but the Streak is pretty important.
IF Taker wants to lose then that's fine with me. That would mean he is willing putting over some young guy and WWE would be looking to use this guy in the Main Event for years to come.
IF WWE Creaive just wanna use the Streak to push Morrison for a little while (cause of his size I have my doubts on how long they will push him) then I disagree with the Streak being broken
I've always wondered what it might be like for some of those wrestling creatives, working with huge dudes who sometimes KNOW they're the shit and have egos 20 times the size of their biceps. Add the 'roids, and the need to deliver the "entertainment" end of things, and I can see how some players simply "disappear" from the industry.
They're wasting Jehrico.
Always have and always will because he's not a muscle bound moron.
He is the last of a (literally) dying breed - he has been trained the old way. He started in Canada, went to Mexico, toured Europe, went to Japan, came to ECW, WCW and then WWE.
He is obviously one of my favourite wrestlers, but I don't think I'm the only one who sees big money in him. He can put on great matches with anyone, can do a promo, fans love him (or love to hate him) and he doesn't give off that "steriod monster" look when interviewed by regular TV shows.
Cena, HHH, Batista, Orton etc all give off that roided look because they are so much bigger than the normal guy. Jericho is a little smaller in height and girth (he's not even as muscular as Benoit was) so he gives the businss credibility.
But Vince sees the lack of height and girth as a weakness. Vince sees the lack of mucle as a weakness. Vince sees Jericho taking time off a couple of years ago for his Band and other interests as a weakness.
I see them all as a plus, even the time away. He needed a change. He did his thing and now he's back OWNING these dumb fuckers.
Before Jericho's career is hrough I would like to see him get a 6 month World Title run as a career appreciation gift (kind of like what Benoit got) before he puts over some other muscle bound bum.
In the mean time I'm happy to accept his high mid card heel act and transitional title reigns. The way Vince changes his mind about talent Jericho could end up with 5 World Title reigns before his days are done.
BTW, if you wanna see some good shit check out Jericho on Youtube. His arrival in WWF is still one of the most talked about moments in wrestling history (most claim it's the greatest debut segment ever) and then check out his 2nd Coming. Dude is fucking money.
The best Jericho moment IMO was the promo he put out with The Rock, where each of them mock the other, with poor "Mitchell Cole" in the middle.
I still prefer Jericho as a face. The shitstorm between him and Stephanie was classic. He's just too damn boring as a heel.
I STILL haven't heard anybody call Jericho out about why HE came back. Apparently, he was a pretty successful radio personality before the second-coming.
I think I was in one of my "not watching" modes around that time.
WCW really fucked up the Jericho v Goldberg story and I stopped watching for a year or so. This was at the same time that WCW had a great undercard and shitty old main eventers - all the young guys were getting screwed so I stopped watching.
Caused me to miss many great moments, cause the business was in it's boom period - but I just couldn't watch anymore bullshit.
Re-education
Thanks Denny.
And you might have missed it but Jericho came back to "Save Us" from Randy Orton's boring World Title reign. Jericho said so himself when he returned (the 2nd coming).
Apparently Jericho is gonna be facing Rick Steamboat at the next WWE PPV. There is a funny story behind it...
After Mania (where Jericho beat Steamboat, Piper and Snuka) Vince wanted Steamboat in the ring on the next Raw, because of the audience reaction. It was never intended to be anything big.
When the crowd went nuts for Steamboat on the live Raw Vince was PISSED! He demanded that the commentators not mention Steamboat the next week. Obviously something changed after that Raw, because the next week Steamboat was brought out again to argue with Steamboat.
Someone with political pull must have convinced Vince to allow Steamboat back into the ring and on TV, cause there is no way he would have done it by himself. Having Steamboat on TV shows how far below standard several acts really are.
I haven't read who spoke to Vince or who proposed the Jericho v Steamboat one on one match for Backlash but if I had to guess I'd say it was Jericho himself.
Think about it - this angle with Steamboat keeps Jericho in a reasonably high spot, but away from the title. I would imagine Jericho selling Vince on the idea that this angle doesn't really impact any one else's story either.
The best thing about it is that Jericho and Steamboat could steal the fucking show at Backlash, especially with the shitty Main Event of HHH, Shane McMahon & Batista v Orton, Rhodes & Dibiase.
