The hbk jericho storyline in 2008 was fire
Dont @ me

All of their storylines are like Top 5 Storylines of All Time Status. I still favor their first encounter from 2003 Royal Rumble to WrestleMania XIX though.

Jericho was the coolest MFer ever man, got that DVD for Christmas and watched that match a bunch of times. I'd have to watch it again but when I think of perfect WWE matches, that's one of them.

08 storyline was awesome too. Shawn was the perfect babyface to the point where his decision to not have title reigns always hooked the viewers. He really is like Tanahashi.

Merry Christmas y'all

I swear I said this after Survivor Series 2002. Theme was fit for a champ. I guess that's why they didn't keep it longer than one night. s--- is easily "STILL" the best thing Saliva has ever done. Almost hard to believe it's their song.

Jericho actually didn't like it. Never understood it.

The CM Punk and Chris Jericho back-and-forths amid that second Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels rivalry/feud storyline should have escalated into something bigger. I still remember how dead it seemed the crowd was on one of those RAWs when Jericho put his title on the line against CM Punk in a cage match. That crowd still deserve an arrow to the heart for their seemingly underwhelmed reactions. You know you have two future Hall of Fame Inductees in the ring and icons of their respective generations. How dare you?

They ended up having a great program though

This is random but Survivor Series '02 is really underrated...I had the DVD and watched it a ton when I was young as it was one of my favorite PPVs back in the day that never gets talked about now. SummerSlam '02 too

What does everyone think about this? I'm honesty surprised most people online are hyped about this.

1. I assume Raw and SD will both be getting a pair of them...so now we will have two more sets of belts that don't mean anything.
2. We already have Women's tag matches on every show and they're RARLEY any good.
3. I just don't think there is enough great women to have tag titles. We already see Sasha/Bayley vs. Riott Squad every other f---in week. And on Smackdown do people really want to see The IIconics vs. Sonya Deville/Mandy Rose tag matches?

Idk I just don't think it's going to be good...you can just look at the men to see they can't (or don't care to) book a tag division worth a s--- so idk why it would any different for the women when there are way less of them.

Sasha and Bayley should not only win the women's tag titles, but they should hold them for a long time. Riott squad's not bad but besides that, who else could even win them? Lol, also these tag titles mean we're gonna get all kinds of random teams over the years, 1 random person teaming with another random person and combining their names to make it 'sound cool', ugh it's gonna s--- tbh. I hate that s---.

Even worse is the idea that they're probably gonna have them on both shows, it's gonna be a mess. Oh well I don't really care much either way I guess, the titles will often be ignored and hardly even thought of..but it will add a bunch of useless/boring match ups and feuds.

There aren’t enough talented women on the roster to have another division , let alone a division that requires at least four people. s--- is gonna blow up in their face— but I mean it’s not like they care, they trot out women that don’t know how to wrestle every week anyway so nothing new

And I agree with Kon, I’m sure they’ll have those lame team names that WWE has been using this decade , and it’ll be even more cringeworthy because it’s the women. Also there will be more of them, because the roster of capable women is so small they’ll be matching women together like crazy

Just another thing I have no interest in...pick your poison. A tag division full of Lana’s and Liv morgan’s trying to put together functional matches or put Sasha, Charlotte and Bayley etc in the tag division and have to water your main title down with Mandy roses and s---

Sami Zayn talked about this on the Jericho podcast he just did. You start watching and after a while, you realize that every match is the exact same and the patterns open up to you. So you tell yourself that when you come back, you're going to be different and standout. Then you realize how many lanes of communication you have to go through to get anything done there, and it's pointless.

So take a Tamina or a Lana, two girls who've probably never had a three star singles match in their lives. Not only do they not know how to adapt or change anything on the fly, they aren't allowed to. So you have agents scripting out these matches for them, that info being relayed to the production crew, and it's the SAME. f---ing. THING. How are they supposed to get better? They're what the old timers complain about with so-called spot monkeys, it's a scripted dance where the performers are just going through the motions. The Survivor Series tag was the worst of this, everybody sucks until Asuka/Sasha get in the ring and they actually f---ing wrestle.

I heard Sasha say on the Stone Cold podcast back when she was getting pushed to some degree that it was a struggle deciding on doing more spots or focusing on "psychology" (not wrestling psychology, WWE psychology based on what their agents want out of the matches), being a fan of the cruiserweights and All Japan growing up. They literally brainwash their wrestlers.

If I had free reign to pick from the girls on NXT and the main roster, it really shouldn't be an issue to scrape up a competent tag division. What about the Mae Young Classic girls? Girls on the indies? They DO have the talent to draw from, but Epitome's comment about it not working for the men is the real problem. It's the style they work. It's impossible to care about their wrestling, and as WWE fans will often make clear, they don't care about the wrestling either.
