Apologies for the extremely slow day, Cagesiders, as we're in a bit of transition period on weekends. Please bear with us, all will be normal during the week again.
Above is the video of the WWE "Week in 90 Seconds," in which the promotion takes us through the last seven days of action spanning Raw and Smackdown.
The lead story, of course, is Chris Jericho's big return, which sparked a ton of debate online. No doubt that was partially the point but it's difficult to deny the performance art we witnessed last Monday night. The problem is WWE conditioned most of its fan to expect a payoff RIGHT NOW and when they don't get it, it leads to disasters like this.
Not pretty, folks.
Also notable on Raw was Kane coming up through the ring to attack John Cena. That's before he decided he wanted to drag poor little Zack Ryder into his hole and have his way with him. Thankfully, SuperCena made the save or there's no telling how spiked Ryder's hair would be right now.
Finally, Daniel Bryan kept being ... well ... Daniel Bryan, when he got all crafty and caused Mark Henry to shove him to earn him a disqualification win over Big Show that kept the world heavyweight championship wrapped firmly around his waist. He's slowly turning heel with this new gimmick and the suit fits him nicely.
That's all for this week. Raw is tomorrow night and with that, the start of a new and hopefully much better week for the WWE. We'll be here as usual with our live blog and all the other good stuff, so be sure to join us.

I love how they ended the video with Punk's "beat you like a bitch" line.

Could have been much worse than it was
but Punk’s delivery was on point. The man is good at his job.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
I can’t watch WWE official YouTube videos in Mexico and I didn’t find the video on WWE.com, so I am wondering how much editing took place on the Punk ‘bitch" comment. I still say that line on Raw was garbage. The setup was horrible. I truly believe WWE was afraid of some women’s coalition raising a stink about violence against women, so they copped out and used the female dog definition.
Also, I just want to say give me more lawyer Otunga backstage segments including more beatdowns of Otunga (connected to story lines, not just random squash matches).

Otunga's facial reactions bumped that segment from good to great
Together we are Ruining Your Special Night. Twice.
Great paragraph about Chris Jericho
I was like Yeah, Yeah, Ummm, What?, Yeah?, What? Boo, Boo, Ummm?, Hahaha, Yeah. I’m waiting to see how WWE rolls with this before I judge it to be brilliant.
Hey Geno, did Sergio and yourself do the Wrestling Aficionado this week? I was all ready to listen after Strikeforce last night.

Sergio won't be around for a while
so the Wrestling Aficionado is on hold for a bit. Life getting in the way and all that. Sorry, I was looking forward to doing it too.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Thanks for the update. I hope Sergio has success in his dealings and returns with the Wrestling Aficionado like a surprise superstar at the Royal Rumble. Shoutout to Roadie Jon and Jumping Jonny Knapik.

A lot of things outside our control are happening.
Trying to get scheduling and things figured out so content keeps flowing on the site. Sergio will be out for a while and I’m super busy with my duties on Mania on the weekends. We’ll get it figured out soon.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Is the blog your full time job, or does it just seem that way? And please excuse my ignorance, but what is Mania? I really appreciate all of your and everyone’s hard work, Geno. Before stumbling onto Cageside Seats, I would have never dared to hope to find such an intelligent wrestling site.

I'm the Manager and run this site here
but I’m also a Managing Editor at MMAmania.com, an SB Nation combat sports blog dedicated to mixed martial arts coverage. I do work over there every day except Monday’s, which is why CSS gets more content on that day. On weekends, I’m almost entirely working on Mania because that’s when the fights are and I’m the guy in charge on weekends. With as big as Mania is, it gets so busy I hardly have much of any time for CSS.
Thanks for the kind words. We try to be more than just a site that posts two sentences as news updates and facilitates somewhere all of us can talk and intelligently discuss pro wrestling, which can be hard as hell to do with some fans out there. Glad you’re enjoying the site, my friend, it’s a great place.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
Disappointed with you guys...
Expected SOME coverage of the TNA PPV…but we get a bazillion WWE / RAW articles, cause we really need more analysis of Jericho and his bloated stomach…

Yeah after thinking about it, that whole Jericho segment was just pointless to say the least. If WWE wanted people to be upset and irate then I say congratulations cause they did an excellent job at getting people like myself wanting to throw a brick at the tv or even at Jericho. Not only that but they did a shitty job in trying to keep people from knowing it was him. I said it a couple months ago that the whole build up looked to much like what they did for Jericho’s first return aside from the creepy videos. There’s other things but it’s not worth getting into. As bad as the segment was, like many others will tune in later on just to see just what the hell they are going to do with him. The house show appearance didn’t do to much for what is suppose to be the end of world…or rather WWE.

About Bryan, I think whoever is helping run SD! has seen that he is alot better at being a heel than a face simply cause lets face it, almost everyone they try to make a face is just annoying. Of course it doesn’t help with Cole being a complete douche every week. It’s like they don’t know how to make faces cause they put the majority of their energy in trying to make Cena one….which as many has seen has been going downhill for years and it’s only going to get worse. If only Vince wasn’t so blinded by his own ignorance and greed, he’d see this to and make the people he’s hired the faces he got stop looking so damn weak. Bring up some talent from FCW and stop fucking around. There is alot more talent you can make stars instead of seeing the the untouchables (Cena and Orton) all the damn time. I don’t know what people are watching every week but FCW is alot more entertaining than the shit being fed to everyone weekly. I really am hope that this new network they are launching will be on tv so Vince can bring the shows he has in mind to bring these guys up for more people to watch and get their name out. Just don’t make another dumb ass show like NXT.

If oooonlyyyy
You had a young go getter blogger who has a semi-proven track record of delivering great content to step up to the big leagues. :)
/wink wink Geno
So go forth, my brethren, and proceed to mark the f*ck out
Who is the full staff here Geno? And I agree with Bradford actually. His Fanposts are pretty solid. He could contribute. I may start with Fanposts here soon as well with the eventual hope of doing some proper staff contributions in the future.

The staff is who you see on the bottom of the page.
And I like what you’ve been doing, Bradford. Keep it up and it will pay off. :)
8bit, I would love to see some FanPosts.
Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.
