The title of this blog may not portray what the blog is about properly, I'm just going to say that right now. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Jericho. I agree that he is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever grace a squared circle. But there is something I am about to say that I never thought I would say in my lifetime: Y2J is going to ruin the match at backlash. Adding him as a special guest referee was completely unnecessary. Here we had what appeared to be a great, emotionally charged match between HBK and Batista. The two alone would have made a good match, hell, I would go so far as to say that it had the potential to be as epic as the likes of Batista/Undertaker at Wrestlemania 23 (i know that's pushing it, but its true). But then, as the WWE loves to do, they overdosed on storyline. The WWE believes that a match cannot be good unless they smother it with a storyline like they are doing here. What the WWE doesn't get is that a match doesn't need a whole lot of background in order to be a good match. It is possible to just put two people in the ring and have a good match. I'm not saying I don't like storylines. Hell, I thought the direction they were going with HBK/Batista was excellent because it was relevant, with Batista being a favorite student of Flair and HBK being the man that had to pull the trigger on Naitch's career. But Y2J was excessive. In my opinion, save for a few circumstances (like Trump/McMahon at WM 23), the special guest referee stipulation should solely be used on the weeknight shows to promote a pay-per-view match and not in the pay-per-views themselves. They generally kill the quality of the match, and are just not necessary. Now it is your turn to voice your opinion. Do you think special guest referees help or hurt pay-per-view matches?
