Former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho called Dave
Lagreca and Mike Riker on Busted Open to get his
take on Ryback vs CM Punk at Hell In A Cell. You
can hear Busted Open on Sirius 92, XM 208 and
on Sports Zone on the internet.

Why he thinks Ryback should win on Sunday:
Sunday: "I don’t know anything and I don’t work for the
WWE. I haven’t talked to Vince in about a month.
But I personally think and this is something that
obviously Busted Open Radio has very hardcore
wrestling fans who are listening as we all are.
The number one thing people bytch about is that there is nothing new and it’s the same old same
old with John Cena. This is the chance to create a
new guy. This is the chance to make a new star
instantly, and I know tradition says you must
build a star. There is no tradition in a case like
this. The comparisons are to Goldberg. Most of the fans in this day and age have no idea who
Goldberg is and don’t care. We do, but in the year
2012 Goldberg was over ten years ago. How did
Goldberg get over? …. By beating everybody.
There was no loss for Goldberg. As soon as he
did lose, that’s when things started going downhill for him. Ryback is not a normal guy.
This is not a guy that we see that builds his way
to the top and fans get behind him slowly but
surely. You want to pick a new guy? Have him
beat CM Punk this week. Who gives a sh** about
Punk’s title reign? It means nothing. Here is a chance to take a guy who people are getting
behind. If he beats Punk at Hell in A Cell and after
three hundred and thirty seven days or
whatever and Punk is finally beaten, people are
going to start to take notice of this guy. Those
who don’t watch Raw are going to tune in to see what’s going on. Ryback beats everybody.
Ryback faces Rock at Royal Rumble. What
happens if a couple of weeks before that
something goes on with Ryback and Undertaker
got involved in the Rock match? What if Rock
wins the title and goes on to face Cena we expected and what if its Ryback vs Undertaker at
Wrestlemania? What if Ryback beats Undertaker
at Wrestlemania? You have a new star for the
next ten years to headline pay-per views and
main events."

Has CM Punk gone as far as he can go as a
character?

"He has gone as far as he can go. The Rock is the Rock. He comes from a different era.
Undertaker, Steve Austin, that comes from a
different era. Nobody will ever be a bigger star
than those guys, because people in their
heads...It’s like the old Batman TV show when
we were kids. We thought it was the greatest show ever. You watch it back now and it sucks.
But it has a certain place in your head that it will
never be replaced. The band KISS in 1978 if
you’re old enough to remember was thought of
as the greatest band ever, even if they weren’t.
Rock is a guy unto his own. Punk is as big of a star as he can be as a heel in WWE. Beating
Ryback doesn’t make him a bigger star. It
doesn’t."

Can the injury to John Cena be a blessing in
disguise?:
It is a blessing in disguise. The biggest breaks I ever got in this business was when
someone got hurt, or when someone went to
make a movie. I won the undisputed
championship because Triple H was hurt and
Rock was leaving. Cena got hurt. What do we
do? One thing about Vince McMahon is his motto is to take a negative and turn it into a positive.
Vince knows how rare it is for someone to get
over so quickly. Vince knows Ryback is not a
money making star right now. But if he goes into
Hell In A Cell and he destroys Punk and beats him,
a hundred percent those fans are going to go bananas for Ryback. You have created a new
star. Punk can come back the next night and
bytch and complain and do what a heel does.
Heels aren’t built to win. Heels are built to lose.
That’s what heels do. The fact that Punk has held
the title for three hundred and thirty seven days, it might mean something to you guys. I can tell
you Punk doesn’t care. Punk wants to make
money and if that means Punk and Ryback
becomes the hottest feud and suddenly
something happens where it goes to Ryback and
Rock, that’s a match where suddenly you made a new guy. I would love to see Punk and Rock and
I’m sure Punk would be disappointed if it didn’t
work out. But this is business. If you have a
chance to build someone that can put a company
on his back, then you do it. The stop and start
pushes that the WWE has been doing and infamous for the last ten years has got to stop
and this is the perfect time for it."

Does he think the WWE will pull the trigger and
have Ryback become champion?

"I do because of the reasons I’ve talked about. I’m not saying I
know anything. I could be completely wrong.
Maybe there would be a scenario where they can
protect Ryback and still have Punk as champ. But
for me what I like as a wrestling fan, when I was
a kid, what I like as wrestling fan now even after doing it for 22 years is the element of surprise. I
hate the same old same old. I worked in WCW for
three years when guys were passed over. As
hard as it is to believe at this point, Eddie
Guerrero was the top heel in the company at
certain points, but they never let him beat anybody. Billy Kidman was super popular.
Probably one of the top two or three babyfaces
in the company at certain points, but they never
pushed him over the edge. There are guys for
whatever reason, get over, even when they are
not supposed to get over. If you take advantage of that and push it over the cliff, people will get
behind it especially a guy like Ryback because
we haven’t seen anyone like that in a long time.
We haven’t seen a powerhouse come in and
annihilate people. The last time might have been
Batista but Ryback is more Neanderthal, more animalistic, more a beast. Batista is very well
spoken. Ryback does remind me of Goldberg and
like I said it’s not a copy of Goldberg. It’s like
saying Jericho is a copy of Shawn Michaels. There
are elements and lots of similarities but it’s a
different guy and nobody has seen a guy like this in a long, long time. So I think if they do pull the
trigger that it will work huge and it will create a
superstar instantly. Someone that will be a
money drawer, someone that people will tune in
who are not watching now to see."

My thoughts on this from the HIAC thread:

Trill Brooks said:
In all honesty, I get what Jericho's saying and I agree with the new star aspect but he has to lose at some point. Whether it's Sunday at HIAC, TLC, or the Royal Rumble the L is imminent. His character isn't designed to talk and he's a powerhouse so there's not much you can do in terms of flexibility. In addition, after beating Punk to continue his rise he'd have to stay in the top spot and guys like Orton/Sheamus/Cena while faces would have to work "heel" to give Ryback's face push more momentum. If he holds the title until the Royal Rumble then the Rock, who's a face, would be facing a monster face in Ryback. This could lead to Ryback being booed prematurely even though he's still a new face.

I'm curious whether Ryback will sink or swim so I'm leaning towards him winning on Sunday to see what happens.

From the looks of things, Rock's challenge threw a wrench into things lol.

Jericho is right about needing new stars , after that he sounds foolish . One ryback isn't that over and to push him like that would get him booed because face it there aren't many heels beside punk he can wrestle , carry him and get him over. Turning more popular wrestlers heel for no reason like cena , rock to try ANd get him over is dumb.
Why didn't this logic get used with Barrett , dbry , ziggler ?? Ryback reactions when not dealing with Punk show how over he is . Dbry kills him in Reaction, ability mic so why not him ?? Why go back to the old school wwe form of thinking

You're right I'm just playing devil's advocate here but I'm a bit curious about this Ryback thing. He got Vince and Cena's cosign, he's somewhat over in a short amount of time, and in kayfabe Punk has his work cut out for him. I'd call their bluff and say give him the belt and see what happens. If it works you have a new star and Punk stepped aside for someone else to get his chance. Change. If it doesn't then he drops the title at Survivor Series/TLC back to Punk and it's business as usual. :yeshrug:

It was a bad idea to put Ryback against Punk so soon. They should have just built the feud for a while longer. Realistically they screwed themselves because the build for CM Punk vs the Rock at the Royal Rumble has to come about otherwise the heel turn with him getting over on the Rock at the 1000th ep of Raw a waste.
Also if Ryback loses it's going to make him lose steam, but if he wins he'll have to drop the belt before the Royal Rumble so Punk can still face the Rock. They should have waited til after the Rumble or Wrestlemania to build a program around Ryback contending for the belt :yeshrug:
