I don’t imagine I’ll embed many videos from WWE’s new YouTube site, but this show looks like it can deliver a few chuckles weekly as long as they keep it short.

From GP Productions:

I’m not sure how long this stays up, but here’s a few different angles of Edson Barboza’s wicked wheel kick on Terry Etim at UFC 142.

On Monday night, the mystery WWE wrestler was unveiled. After several mysterious viral videos that didn’t really make a whole lot of sense, Chris Jericho came out to cheers, enabled the crowd to cheer more, and more, and more, until he left without cutting his promo. I think most believe that it sets up a heel turn, but Monday night probably left a lot of younger WWE fans scratching their heads.

I jotted down my thoughts on Jericho’s re-debut on Monday night. I reached out to the FGB crew for their thoughts on Jericho’s segment. The crew had mixed feelings.

Embarrassing.

Very Kaufmann-esque. I’d say he’ll be getting properly hated in a few weeks if he sticks to it. I’m not sure whether the videos being so irrelevant was bad or a stroke of genius.

After reading both of Jericho’s books recently, I can tell a lot of thought was put towards this re-debut.

I rather enjoyed the entire segment because it started out like his WWE debut, but by the end you can see how it somewhat correlates to the video. If he was being seen as the boy in the video, does that mean there’s a woman out there pulling the strings? Perhaps one who happens to be a disgusting, dirty, filthy, ugly, two dollar, bottom-feeding, trashbag ho?

During Jericho’s last run, I do think he was the top heel and best performer overall in the company. The trouble with doing a gimmick like this is that it requires patience from your audience.

I see it as an idea lost to the past. It might rile up a live crowd, and I’m sure at one point it would have worked with a TV audience to, but to me nowadays this was channel changing heat. It didn’t make for good TV in my opinion. It was cheap, it was irritating, and it was a waste of time. I’m sure people will hate him after a few weeks of this, but do you want people tuning out during your new big signings segments? Probably not. Will WWE have the patience to see it through if it does start losing them viewers? I doubt it. This one will die fast.

Here’s the video again in case you missed it:
