Jericho is back to put over Bray Wyatt unlike a certain John Cena.

I named my son Jake after one of my favorite wrestler, jake the snake Roberts. Just curious. Anyone know if there's a wrestler named Leah?

Yep! When your top star refuses to do the job for an up and coming young talent, call in "Good Guy Chris" View media item 1057616

This is such a simple yet awesome move. I may have seen this one other time, probably from Kanyon

It looks like Axel is giving him an STO

I know, what I mean is that they were similar as in they were both quick pinfall wins.

I don't want to see Cena come back after his run is done for this very reason. This man never puts people over, despite the fact that it would NOT hurt him in the slightest (overall).
Also does anyone know when WWE is coming back to DC? Did they mention it at Raw?

Also, Stardust is showing off Cody's versatility when it comes to gimmicks. Might be the most well rounded guy on the roster.

Cena might not be the best at putting people over like that. But if you're the top dog in the company you have to win 90% of the time to preserve the character.
Y2J definitely hurt his legacy but coming and going just to job. Dude jobbed to Dango for goodness sake

I don't know about THE most well rounded guy but he's up there. Bryan still my choice. Dude can literally flourish anywhere you want him

As corny as he may be at times, Jericho is much better than Bryan on the mic, IMO.

Definitely but are we still including him as an active member of the roster?

I'm not counting him as part of the active roster, he'll be taking an Accolade and back to Fozzy after Survivor Series

Yep. As far as an active roster goes, it's anyone who's on TV week in and week out and doesn't take extended breaks to seek other ventures.
Bryan is the ultimate moveable chest piece. Heel, face, main event, mid card, pre show he can do it all. His mic work does leave something to be desired but he does have that charisma through his actions and wrestling. I know I'm beating a dead horse but I have not seen a crowd response like the one he ellicits since SCSA and the Rock.

Man, we need a Wresting Legacy Thread similar to this that was done for the NBAa few years ago:
http://niketalk.com/t/302838/nba-legacy-thread-vol-update-resumes/0_20
Which, by the way, is a great read if you're at all interested in basketball.

IMO Jericho jobbing to Fandango doesn't hurt his legacy and him jobbing to Wyatt is gonna make Bray an even bigger star.

The Forbes website has a new article up asking if John Cena as WWE World Heavyweight Champion is really best for WWE's business. The author took some of WWE's revenue figures and overlaid them with WWE's three biggest stars of the last five years - John Cena, Randy Orton and CM Punk, excluding Cena's brief concurrent championship run in the summer of 2011 and his even briefer reign at Elimination Chamber in 2010. The article contains graphs that the author created but he wrote the following:
"As shown in the graph, over the last five years Cena has only been champion during one period of rising revenue, in late 2009. Since then he’s held the belt at length four different times, and during all of them WWE’s quarterly revenue has been on the decline. What’s more, the company’s income tends to rebound shortly after those title runs come to an end.
And curiously enough, in-story COO Triple-H’s repetitive claims that Orton ought to be the face of the company appear to ring true. When Orton wears the championship belt, WWE’s revenues tend to climb. Then again, company performance was all over the place during CM Punk’s 434-day reign, and that may be the only proof we need that WWE’s in-ring champion doesn’t actually have much impact on the company’s revenue.
To reiterate, this is obviously far from a scientific study. WWE’s total revenues include segments like DVD sales and WWE Studios, which have little to do with the ongoing in-ring action. Plus this study only looks at the revenue side; perhaps a further analysis would show that WWE’s profits surge under Cena’s title reigns. But a brief look at the numbers suggests that, popular as he is, Cena being the WWE champion isn’t necessarily the best thing for business. And who knows, maybe that means Cena’s latest title run has more to do with in-ring story telling than cashing in on young fans, and maybe, just maybe, that means he’ll do something interesting for once."
