The Jericho angle I thought was handled pretty poorly this week, just walking out after spending very little time trolling the fans? I know we all know where his return is heading but we play along regardless now though after Raw and doing very much a heel like act there's little room for manoeuvre now. I think a better way of playing it would have been for him to avoid being tagged into the match, like when Punk goes to tag him Jericho could have been distracted by the audience, dropped off the apron and starting playing to them like he was during the heels entrance before the match
Personally, I could see him getting tagged in, doing the hyping up the crowd thing, then getting out the ring, hi-5ing everyone and getting counted out, and just not careing at all. It could have been done better, but I'm still happy with what happened. Brian's suprised face was great as well.
And Laurinaitis the face? How you seeing that?
The whole show, really. Ziggler makes sense at the beginning about Foley taking up a spot in the rumble where it could be used to give current talent a chance instead, Ace agrees.
He seemed sincere when talking to Ryder after the match, though perhaps he should have done a Teddy Long and reversed the decision since Ryder wasn't cleared to wrestle.
And finally, at the end. He comes out and reverses the decision since Foley was not allowed in the match. The face lied to get into the match when he shouldn't have been, thus thats outside interference and a DQ. What else should he do, allow wrestlers to say that Ace said they could be in matches? He has to put his foot down.
Then Punk starts taunting and being rude to him? The week before, he made that match which resulted in Swagger and Vickie being banned from ringside? That's helping Punk! Heck, during that match he even prevented swagger from interfering while punk was on the floor. While they've been taking cheap shots at each other for ages (Ace does still have the slammy, for example), I couldn't see any reason for Punk cutting that promo on him. So why would he want to call the match down the line now?
From what I saw, there was no real reason for Ace to screw punk over until tonight.
Also, I was kinda hoping to see an Ace Crusher to foley :3
