EVERYTHING about The Festival of Friendship Appreciation.

As I said in the RAW Thread, when Wrestling sucks, it's one of the worst things to watch

When Wrestling is GOOD, it's a reminder as to why you put up with the bullshit.

This, this is one of those reminders. And I needed it. Perfect segment from start to finish. The timing, the camera work, the turn, the realization, everything. I haven't seen such a shocking and perfect turn since Rollins broke The Shield.

Owens is revitalized as a badass monster, Jericho is put over as the super face he should be... just... amazing... absolutely amazing, and a segment that should be praised like it is being all over the community. And hopefully will only continue to be and be used as a shining example of how to just do wrestling... right.

Also, GILLBERG IS STILL FRIGGEN OVER

[Ecks Ecks Ringout Ecks Ecks]

Might be mangling the quote from memory, but:

"It's art, you don't need pants."

In the running for the best wrestling quote of the decade.

[Bang Bang Bart]

"Why is my name on this list?"

Then Jericho's facial reaction upon seeing the back of the List was some masterful work by all involved.

[Lazy peon]

How can such an amazing comedy segment take such a dark tragic turn

KO went from cool funny heel to piece of shit evil heel

Finally a work of art that rivals the painting from Ghostbusters II

I loved how Jericho was so into it. Watching him dance down the aisle I had a moment of realisation of how surreal it is that that weirdo knows my name,haha. He reminded me of why he's my all time favourite tonight, from the over the top cheesiness "EXTRAVAGANZA!!", getting silly things over "It's art, you don't need pants", to his heartfelt thank you, from his joyous "a new list!" all the way to the soul crushing heartbreak of "why is my name on this?"

Owens was perfect in his role first as a bemused friend and then a complete asshole.

The callback to the turn on HBK was brilliant too and I hope they focus on that more, especially the soundbyte of "I hate you" just before he threw him into the TV.

Just top notch all round. Shame it was followed up by Enzo but in someways it helped highlight how good the segment was when followed by that garbage.

There's enough dicks in art to prove that right

Jericho man....

[DZ: WF Legacy]

This was legitimately one of the all-time greatest wrestling segments/moments/heel(er?) turns. It was absolutely 100% perfect, and it setup Jericho as an unbelievably sympathetic babyface. He was already a lovable heel goofball, so the transition was easy. I felt every emotion while watching it, from nearly in tears laughing to gritting my teeth at Kevin turning on his best friend. The final heel setup was even clever....whomever is responsible for putting this together nailed it.

[NickRedMachine]

People saying it was 100% flawless, yet you could already see it said List of KO before Jericho pulled it up.

Took away at least 1%, tbh.

[Chiral]

I went from "whatever" about the storyline to "Owens/Jericho should be the Universal title match at WM".

No sure if serious but slightly bad camera work /Jericho holding the clipboard 5 degrees the wrong was for half a second doesn't take away at all from a brilliant 20 minute segment.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

It was also a nice touch to give Jericho one last bit of comeuppance during the turn by throwing him into the television.


The one act that started a fairly consistent heel run since 2008 finally comes back to bite him in the ass.

Obviously I said it in a joking tone, but it was a serious post. Took a way from it a tiny bit, and in general I already can't stand when people rate something a 10/10 or call something '100% perfect'.

[Perd]

Just an incredible segment. This is why I watch wrestling.

And as I said in the Raw thread, I'm calling 300 likes for the Creation of Kevin in the MS Paint thread.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I really want to know who wrote this segment, like how much did the RAW Writing and Booking Team have to do with this aside from giving it the Ok? Because this shit felt like it was near 100% Owens and Jericho directing traffic and just making Art... without Pants

[SenorCrest]

i bet shop wwe would kill if they release that painting of the two.

i legit felt sad. its over. done. but why?

[Bear Skin Rug]

Underrated moment: when KO dispatches Gilberg, then storms back into the ring and Jericho goes "hey! you beat him!"

[Capt Lunatic]

Best bit of RAW I've seen in a LOOOONG time.
