Did you see Chris Jericho's return on Monday? If so, what did you think? At first I was like WTH was that?! Dude came out, soaked in the crowd for 10 minutes and then left - without even speaking! I was pissed. But then after thinking about it I thought it was brilliant and so Y2J. He went from a face to a heel in a matter of minutes. LOL. I think he is much more interesting as a heel wrestler anyway (and it no doubt makes him more money).

I don't understand how those "It begins 2012" promos the WWE had airing for weeks have anything to do with Y2J (except for a few obvious hints) but maybe that'll be explained in the coming weeks.

And yes I need Stephanie to come back! I need all of the McMahons to come back. I don't know why Shane hasn't resurfaced. How could he stand his father giving control to Triple H (his brother in law) instead of him? Ridiculous. But back to Stephanie - I freaking love her. She is amazing and I would so love if they at least brought her back as GM of RAW. I can't deal with John Laurinaitis much longer.

It was a waste of the viewers time & especially that audience but I still think it was brilliant! It made everyone have a reaction & it also generated a lot of discussion (Y2J, "It Begins", & Chris Jericho all trending worldwide, plus blogs/message boards literally still talking about it right now). The WWE writers obviously did that because they wanted people to turn on him and that's exactly what happened. They knew everyone would cheer for him at first so he had to do something to get some boos/negative reaction. LOL. I think next week's RAW will be must see. He has to speak then because there are still soo many questions. I hope this is good. I think it will be. I don't think Chris would've returned if it wasn't something he believed in/liked.

Even though I was annoyed with it at first, I've been watching this vid of his return over and over - It's entertaining. LOL! And I just LOVE how he was re-introduced in the beginning with the fireworks & his music! All that was missing was his countdown.

LOL I know! It's been on since 1993. I think it's because the show is weekly and comes on once every week. Seems like a lot but it's only 52 episodes a year. The show always brags these days about how it's the longest running "Weekly Episodic TV Show" in history.

It's unfortunate Trish & Lita didn't interact during last nights show. (A very brunette) Trish made a cameo appearance in a cut scene with Triple H, teaching him how to do yoga or something. LOL.

Lita challenged WWE Wrestler Heath Slater to a match and beat his ass laugh.png

I just saw the 1000th show and it was lovely! It was a true love letter to the fans and I loved how so many greats from years past came.

Highlight for me was Stephanie slapping Paul Heyman! Idiot, didnt she JUST tell you not to talk about her kids? Man I cant beleive she and Hunter are still together after all these years and have 3 kids. Congrats to them

I guess I missed Trish bc I dont recall seeing her. Loved Lita and she looks great! She hasnt aged much at all. Loved seeing Most of DX reunited, especially seeing Billy Gunn aka Mr Ass again. Didnnt he leave the company under bad terms

I felt bad for the cute guy AJ was gonna marry. CM Punk said he treated her badly....how so?

Mae Young showed up....I cant believe her old ass is still alive...lol

Rock was always my favorite and I wasnt aware he came back to wrestling after leaving it for Hollywood. Seems kind of premature to set up a Wrestlemania match now contigent on results of Royal Rumble when both are months away.

Undetertaker's hair now is much better than his balding long look

Only thing missing from the show was Stone Cold. Cant believe he didnt make an appearance

Don't feel bad... he was ALWAYS talking sh!t on AJ after he dumped her.by saying she cost him a title.

He only ever remotely showed any interest in her again after it was announced she would be the Special Guest ref at his title match with CM Punk. So he tried to cozy on up to her again I guess in hopes that she'd screw Punk over and make him Champ once more. So I didn't feel bad for him at all since if you watched it weekly for the past few months you knew he was only doing it because she was coming into positions of power via her popularity.

I think she is so frickin' funny and I cry laughing whenever she's out there. She had a thing for Kane too but he said AJ was too messed up even for him.

    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.
