BAM! Apparently that aired at the end of Raw? I didn't watch it, mind you, but I heard about it. Anyway, that video seems like a Y2J hype to me! Of course, his book's coming out Oct. 25th (My b-day ) so it just seems like a natural thing for him to be returning just in time to promote that. This could be the best move WWE can do at this point. If this video isn't for a Y2J return... Well, I wouldn't be surprised because we've been let down hardcore lately... But I'd probably smite them and stop caring.

Hmm...I'm inclined to agree. That bit of filmy thing looked quite Y2J-y lol
Here's hoping. I'd love to see Jericho return.

I would like to see Jericho return, and if this is hype for him, it's a nice start. M x

If he did return, he could take the title from Cena. Then we could hear him talk about how he was the FIRST undisputed champion. I hope he does come back soon.

Also, from some random source...
All anyone could talk about Tuesday was save_us.222. I didn't even know about it until Tuesday because the segment was about five seconds long and I apparently fast-forwarded through it. But I later saw it, and it was weird. It's five seconds of visual insanity with stuff flashing quickly on the screen. People who used their pause button saw the following: CHAMP_HARD; SMACK_BROUGHT1; RAW_LOWER_DISP; CD_VOLUME4_1; RAW_WAR_BUMPER; WM99_MATCH; WM00_MATCH; WM99_PROMO; SURVIVOR_RF; LIVEWIRE; TALENT_PRE; BAT_ASS_WEEK; and JVC_FIX. The assumption by many was that it was heralding the return of Chris Jericho. They noted that the 1st track of the 4th WWE CD was Jericho's theme, that Livewire was a song written by his band Fozzy, and that 222 could be in reference to Joshua 2:2 in the Bible, which speaks of Jericho (the city, not the wrestler). He also beat Juvie in a mask match on 2/22 of 1998. Of course, there is also the reference to WrestleMania 99, which he wasn't a part of at all. Here's what I can tell you. This past June, prior to Benoit's death, Court Bauer, a creative team member who was recently released, approached the rest of the staff with an idea for either bringing back Jericho or introducing the New Hart Foundation. I guess he'd gotten the new Nine Inch Nails CD and was impressed with the viral marketing campaign they'd done, which included things like leaving zip drives on merchandise tables at live events, which fans would find, take home, and discover new videos or songs on. The idea was to do something similar on Raw, something "Jerichocentric" that would basically be an updated version of the countdown clock which he debuted to in 1999. Ideas included websites set up by third parties (so as not to be traced to WWE, and to ensure there wasn't an obvious WWE feel to them), deals on Youtube and TV, mystery ads on WWE.com (for example, in the Hart Foundation idea, maybe a "public service announcement" about heart attacks that when you clicked it would take you to a Calgary-related website). In other words, very similar to the ROH Project 161 storyline, except the idea was that it would be a fun thing that fans could get excited about in trying to crack the code, as opposed to something creepy involving stalkers or blood or emos. At the time, the rest of the team loved it, but hadn't talked to Jericho about it yet, and then things went into disarray when the Benoit tragedy and everything related to it went down. One of the keys to it, which is the main reason I suspect that this is what save_us.222 is all about, is that there would be clues indicating that this was all about Jericho (the music CD thing for example), but also deliberate misdirects and red herrings (WrestleMania 99). Again, this may have nothing to do with Jericho but it does seem very similar to the original idea, plus the feeling is that one way or another he's coming back soon.
Waaay too much is being looking into this, I think lol. But that's what people do... Take hints, analyze them, break them down and come up with theories and whatnot. But I do like some of the work put into all of this if this is really what's goin on. It means WWE doesn't always halfass everything haha.

It would be sort of amusing to see how much effort people make at surmising if it didn't happen though lol

I'd love it if he came back. I'd let tramps play with my prince albert if I thought it would bring him back. Think about that image and try sleep tonight

In another Jericho/WWE update, it’s interesting that he his book signing tour has no dates scheduled on Mondays. This could obviously be an indicator of which show he will be on.
Ok thats what me people are telling me.
IMO WWE needs Y2J in a bad way as his mic skills and charisma is lacking in such a huge way. I am sorry but RAW has no real talent on the mic, except HHH, who could keep up with Y2J. Then for those who may be close on the mic skills they sure don't have the ring talent like Y2J. Plus as we all know his time off only mad him more valuable as wrestling fans will go crazy...Example of someone on the forums creaming thier pants. Its funny but there is a female superstar in talks of coming back as well.....TRISH!

I'd like to see a Y2J/ Kennedy feud since Kennedy's mic skills are pretty good and getting better all the time. There'd be gold there

There's a few feuds with Jericho that I wouldn't mind at all. The above is definitely a good one. Too bad Edge is on Smackdown or that'd be another good one.
