I don't care for the storyline, but I'd like it to come out that AJ and Dolph Ziggler are having sexy time. It would be a good way to get Vickie away from him. I know he is just her client supposedly, but so what? we said the other day about how things don't always make sense ( never make sense) so this doesn't have to be any different. You could turn him babyface at the same time.

You Mister, are drunk !

I'm not drunk, but I'm in no condition to perform .

Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho called Dave Lagreca and Mike Riker on Busted Open to get his take on Ryback vs CM Punk at Hell In A Cell. You can hear Busted Open on Sirius 92, XM 208 and on Sports Zone on the internet.

Chris Jericho on why he thinks Ryback should win on Sunday: "I don’t know anything and I don’t work for the WWE. I haven’t talked to Vince in about a month. But I personally think and this is something that obviously Busted Open Radio has very hardcore wrestling fans who are listening as we all are. The number one thing people bitch about is that there is nothing new and it’s the same old same old with John Cena. This is the chance to create a new guy. This is the chance to make a new star instantly, and I know tradition says you must build a star. There is no tradition in a case like this. The comparisons are to Goldberg. Most of the fans in this day and age have no idea who Goldberg is and don’t care. We do, but in the year 2012 Goldberg was over ten years ago. How did Goldberg get over? …. By beating everybody. There was no loss for Goldberg. As soon as he did lose, that’s when things started going downhill for him. Ryback is not a normal guy. This is not a guy that we see that builds his way to the top and fans get behind him slowly but surely. You want to pick a new guy? Have him beat CM Punk this week. Who gives a sh** about Punk’s title reign? It means nothing. Here is a chance to take a guy who people are getting behind. If he beats Punk at Hell in A Cell and after three hundred and thirty seven days or whatever and Punk is finally beaten, people are going to start to take notice of this guy. Those who don’t watch Raw are going to tune in to see what’s going on. Ryback beats everybody. Ryback faces Rock at Royal Rumble. What happens if a couple of weeks before that something goes on with Ryback and Undertaker got involved in the Rock match? What if Rock wins the title and goes on to face Cena we expected and what if its Ryback vs Undertaker at Wrestlemania? What if Ryback beats Undertaker at Wrestlemania? You have a new star for the next ten years to headline pay-per views and main events."

Has CM Punk gone as far as he can go as a character? "He has gone as far as he can go. The Rock is the Rock. He comes from a different era. Undertaker, Steve Austin, that comes from a different era. Nobody will ever be a bigger star than those guys, because people in their heads...It’s like the old Batman TV show when we were kids. We thought it was the greatest show ever. You watch it back now and it sucks. But it has a certain place in your head that it will never be replaced. The band KISS in 1978 if you’re old enough to remember was thought of as the greatest band ever, even if they weren’t. Rock is a guy unto his own. Punk is as big of a star as he can be as a heel in WWE. Beating Ryback doesn’t make him a bigger star. It doesn’t."

Can the injury to John Cena be a blessing in disguise? "It is a blessing in disguise. The biggest breaks I ever got in this business was when someone got hurt, or when someone went to make a movie. I won the undisputed championship because Triple H was hurt and Rock was leaving. Cena got hurt. What do we do? One thing about Vince McMahon is his motto is to take a negative and turn it into a positive. Vince knows how rare it is for someone to get over so quickly. Vince knows Ryback is not a money making star right now. But if he goes into Hell In A Cell and he destroys Punk and beats him, a hundred percent those fans are going to go bananas for Ryback. You have created a new star. Punk can come back the next night and bitch and complain and do what a heel does. Heels aren’t built to win. Heels are built to lose. That’s what heels do. The fact that Punk has held the title for three hundred and thirty seven days, it might mean something to you guys. I can tell you Punk doesn’t care. Punk wants to make money and if that means Punk and Ryback becomes the hottest feud and suddenly something happens where it goes to Ryback and Rock, that’s a match where suddenly you made a new guy. I would love to see Punk and Rock and I’m sure Punk would be disappointed if it didn’t work out. But this is business. If you have a chance to build someone that can put a company on his back, then you do it. The stop and start pushes that the WWE has been doing and infamous for the last ten years has got to stop and this is the perfect time for it."

Does he think the WWE will pull the trigger and have Ryback become champion? "I do because of the reasons I’ve talked about. I’m not saying I know anything. I could be completely wrong. Maybe there would be a scenario where they can protect Ryback and still have Punk as champ. But for me what I like as a wrestling fan, when I was a kid, what I like as wrestling fan now even after doing it for 22 years is the element of surprise. I hate the same old same old. I worked in WCW for three years when guys were passed over. As hard as it is to believe at this point, Eddie Guerrero was the top heel in the company at certain points, but they never let him beat anybody. Billy Kidman was super popular. Probably one of the top two or three babyfaces in the company at certain points, but they never pushed him over the edge. There are guys for whatever reason, get over, even when they are not supposed to get over. If you take advantage of that and push it over the cliff, people will get behind it especially a guy like Ryback because we haven’t seen anyone like that in a long time. We haven’t seen a powerhouse come in and annihilate people. The last time might have been Batista but Ryback is more Neanderthal, more animalistic, more a beast. Batista is very well spoken. Ryback does remind me of Goldberg and like I said it’s not a copy of Goldberg. It’s like saying Jericho is a copy of Shawn Michaels. There are elements and lots of similarities but it’s a different guy and nobody has seen a guy like this in a long, long time. So I think if they do pull the trigger that it will work huge and it will create a superstar instantly. Someone that will be a money drawer, someone that people will tune in who are not watching now to see."

Chris Jericho thinks Ryback should win the WWE title on Sunday . Do you ?

He does make some good points as usual.

I have to disagree with him on a couple of things, like CM Punk going as far as he can ? wtf, so because he has been a more productive main eventer than Chris , Chris is jealous. Maybe I just picked it up that way

I don't think Chris is jealous. I think he's right.

What else is there for Punk to do with his character that he hasn't already done and would still be allowed on TV in this PG era? He's already won the championship and walked away with it only to be brought back. He's already told the company and the fans to kiss his ass (on multiple different occasions). He's done the quasi-comedic face character of playing nice while still getting his wry humor licks in. He's been in a love triangle (quadrangle?). He's led a (quasi-skinhead) group of heels that took on the entire WWE and chastised the fans for their faults. He's stood up for the fans against the establishment and any heel that crossed his path and became one of the most over faces in several years.

He's bounced between the most heinous of heels, neutral man caught in the middle and most over of faces so many times now, what else is there?

He would have to totally reinvent his character, completely step out of his comfort zone. I doubt he'd be willing to do that since his character is both positive and negative images of himself and his beliefs. He can spin it either way and is very good at doing so.

I could see that happening. The whole "Cena asked her to a business dinner so it's fraternization" angle is pretty lame.

It's just as lame as the Booker T/Eve/Teddy Long thing that's going on right now. They really expect the fans to believe that Teddy wouldn't be told that they have footage of Eve listening in on him and Sheamus and stealing his ideas? That he wouldn't immediately pull up that footage for Booker T? Really?

Now they've got two thinly veiled, lying, scheming bitch angles going on at the same time. Beverly Hills 90210 must be sending them old scripts.

you're right and I don't disagree with you ( I was joking about the jealous part ). I was thinking he was going to reach a year as champion at least, not that it really means anything, but still.

I think if he is facing Rock at the Royal Rumble then he has to be champion because Rock is coming in and getting the match straight away. If Rock didn't open his big mouth and he wasn't coming back then I'd think Ryback was a guarantee to win.

I just can't help thinking about the future.

so we have your answer then. You think Ryback is going to win.

[lonewolfz28]

I don't know if Ryback will win or not. Like Chris, I think it'd be the best move for the company. And like him, I have no idea what they're going to do. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

aww come on, mate. just play along and tell your old friend Alan who you think will win. sitting on the fence is for losers.

I'll give mine then while you try and get off the fence. I don't think it will be the best move for the company if Ryback wins, in fact I think it will be a terrible move. I've got eyes that still work and from what I've seen of this guy over the years is nothing good. He has his fake unbeaten streak and nothing else. Say he wins the title. he comes out the next night , we expect the new champion to say something. Is John Cena going to come out with him and hold his hand? Does the guy know more than three words? It might possibly give a short boost to the rating until everybody realises that he is no good.

I still didn't make a prediction, but I know what I'm leaning towards.

one more thing. CM Punk is supposed to defend against John Cena when they come to Belfast. Obviously the title isn't going to change hands on some lowly House show. I've seen this match 500 times already, but never live. Providing Cena is ready to go of course, he might have been bsing last night.

[lonewolfz28]

Ryback cut promos on NXT. They weren't great, but I don't think anyone would really expect him to have really great mic skills. That's not the type of wrestler he is. Heck, Goldberg wasn't very good on the mic either. All he had to do was come out, look intimidating and tell everyone to stay out of his way or they'd be run over. Batista was weak on the mic as well. But, he had the physique and intimidation factor that got him over. Even the Undertaker wasn't that great on the mic. He just looked mean, said a few intimidating things (if he spoke at all) and then kicked someone's ass. Orton is another man of few words on the mic. But he was a very good champion. Lesnar has Paul Heyman doing all of his talking for him now. I don't remember him being all that special on the mic. Kane? Please. His first couple title reigns he'd be more apt to eat the mic than speak into it. Yokozuna? Did he ever say anything more than a couple words at a time?

The list goes on and on. You have the charismatic types that are fantastic on the mic like the Rock, Stone Cold, Cena and Edge. Then you have the others that can get their point across with just the look on their face.

Oh, and it's not a picket fence, so I can sit up here all day.
