Y2... HB... Wait, what? (RAW Spoilers)

[Xero]

Yeah, so RAW had a thing where it was a Matrix-like thing interrupting the screen. It was clearly WWE because it included tron information (raw_bumper.action, etc) with "SAVE_US.222" the most prominently featured.

So, is it Y2J? Has he resigned? I mean, come on, if it isn't they're trying to fuck with us because most people who saw that must have instantly thought "Jericho".

[RGWhat316]

I thought either Jericho or Cyber Sunday. But no idea.

[KingofOldSchool]

I saw Bad Ass and DeGenerate in it too.

[Xero]

I don't think they'd have something that random and abrupt for a PPV promo.

[KingofOldSchool]

I could see it being WWE's own Project 161 type angle.

[Xero]

I saw Bad Ass and DeGenerate in it too.
Yeah, they basically used a file listing of the WWE's production computers.

[KingofOldSchool]

If WWE has Cyber Sunday this year, it will be the 222nd PPV/Closed Circuit show dating back to WM 1.

[Xero]

If WWE has Cyber Sunday this year, it will be the 222nd PPV/Closed Circuit show dating back to WM 1.
Really?

JERICHO WILL SAVE US AT CYBER SUNDAY!

:shifty:

[KingofOldSchool]

Remember Jericho's first WWF/E promo?

He said he came to save the WWF.

Maybe he's going to do it again?

[Xero]

It's exactly like the count down too. I think, if it IS Jericho, it's the perfect way to keep people guessing. It's SORT of like his original debut, but different enough to throw at least some people off, at least until they do it again.

[KingofOldSchool]

I doubt this is about him though.

[Xero]

It would be retarded to do a promo about a PPV that way though. :-\

[KingofOldSchool]

It's probably for a totally new character or something.

[Xero]

Gail Kim.

lol

[RGWhat316]

It damn well could be Jericho. I just went back to look at the tape and frame by frame, I could make out some words. Even if it was really cluttered with letters and numbers. I did make out RAW_WAR, and KOTRqual. Definitely someone from the past.

[KingofOldSchool]

Gail Kim.

lol

BLOOD RUNS COLD.

[Skippord]

I missed it

[HaTeR]

As did I

A video clip of it would be nice

[Mike the Metal Ed]

I didn't spot it, where abouts in the show was it?

[Xero]

There's nothing really to "see". It's basically just a matrix-like thing with random (WWE-related) text on the screen. Though the music did sound similar to Jericho's too. (Not that that would confirm anything, since a lot of promo music sounds the same.)

It was right after Coach had his press conference, before the final commercial break.

[Maluco]

Its the big return we have been waiting for alright...

The golden haired warrior of the new millenium...

...that man who has had both straps around his waste...






...Its "The Millenium Man" Sid!!!!!

[Jordan]

Look at the pic closely you can see Jericho's outline with the jesus christ pose.

[Jordan]

Or did someone photo shop that?

[Blitz]

I dunno but I am pretty interested.

[Jordan]

COME ON IS THAT PHOTOSHOPED OR WHAT?!?!

[BigDaddyCool]

It is a photoshop you moron.

[Ninti the Mad]

It is a photoshop you moron.


ROFL

[Xero]

Look at the pic closely you can see Jericho's outline with the jesus christ pose.
ROFL, you actually thought the sig I made in 3 minutes was from RAW?

[KingofOldSchool]

[Ninti the Mad]

<font size="7"> HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH </font>

[HaTeR]

I'd laugh if it was just the return of Shawn Michaels and "Save us" was like a playoff of the christian thing... and you all got excited for nothing.

[Xero]

Here's something interesting. Did a Google Search, came up with 411Mania forums and someone has noted some "clues" from the video, the biggest being "CD_VOLUME4_1". Of course, the first song on Volume 4 is Jericho's theme.

[Ninti the Mad]

Any pics to back that up of the video capture?

[BigDaddyCool]

Did anyone go to save_us.222 (http://save_us.222) yet. It is freaky. No, it is nothing, I'm being a jerk.

[Jordan]

ITS JERICHO JESUUS CHRIST I AM WET

[BigDaddyCool]

Jordan, Jericho can't save wrestling. Vince won't let it happen.

[Innovator]

I hope he's coming back, just for an entertaining minute promo a show

[HaTeR]

I think with the Save Us and the Volume 4 thing, it's beyond obvious it is Jericho.

yay

[Ninti the Mad]

I STILL SEE NO PROVE ABOUT THE VOLUME 4 THING!!!!!!!!!!

[BigDaddyCool]

Actaully the first thing I thought was Glacier. So a matrix/subzero ripoff is coming.

[Ninti the Mad]

Keanu Reeves is going to defeat John Cena.

SAVE_US.222

SAVE_US.SYXX?

[KingofOldSchool]

I saw Skittles in the video.

OMG THAT MUST MEAN THE BERRIES N' CREAM GUY IS COMING!!!1111!1

[RGWhat316]

I definitely saw some of the old sponsors in there such as JVC, Skittles, Starburst. And even mentions of Jakked, which is one of the former shows. So all of this is definitely related to someone from the attitude era.

It's Todd Pentigelll!

[Xero]

I know I also saw "BATS_ASS_(something)".

lol

[KingofOldSchool]

It's the debut of Batista's Kiss My Ass Club.

[Xero]

Could be D'Lo Brown...

Don't have anything to support it, just a thought that popped into my head...

The Triangle match between Jericho, Angle and some random dude.

Yeah, I got to admit it, I'm a huge fucking geek, gonna go check the video again. :$

[The Naitch]

this is insane

[The Naitch]

It's gotta be Jericho

also

CHAMP_HARD = Hardcore champ?

[Volchok]

Still pictures please.

[HaTeR]

Last week's official Raw Thread:

Just got on here.... anybody else notice the "Save us Y2J" sign during the Hardy/Benjamin match?

[RGWhat316]

Ok, I've found video footage, a link from the wrestlecrap boards.
http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=102mkqo&s=2

[Xero]

I just want to make it clear that these are mainly just computer files, specifically ones like "catman", "paint/geography", "bookcase", etc. WWE rarely goes to this extent to give people something to talk about. They still have all the old promos, DVDs, etc on the trucks in case they need them. It's more than likely these are just completely random files that just happen to somehow relate to Jericho.

ANYWAY... Just checked the video, and while it's not 100% clear (it's only shown in the background and only noticed one instance) I did see (something)_Volume4_(something).

I also found the following: (x)= wasn't on screen but was obvious)

(R)AW_REV_MAY2
(W)M_DVD_MOVE2A
1998_06:46:25 (This was out of an HTML document. Why they used that date though I don't know.)
3DMATCH

[Xero]

Last week's official Raw Thread:
LOL, holy shit, that's right! I do remember that.

[The Fugitive]

Is this the same video? I found it on TinyPic.

http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=102mkqo&s=2

I tried embedding it but not a whole lot of luck doing that.

EDIT: Shit, didn't see RGWhat's post.

[Shisen Kopf]

It's a Chris alright, Chris Benoit! the whole thing was a giant work and his new gimmick will be Chris Benoit, loving father!!

[The Naitch]

Chris Benwho?

[Shadow]

Using my highly trained ear for music I can safetly say....what the fuck was that?

Sounded like a really screwed up version of Y2J's theme song if you listen really really really closely. And there was a part where something seemed missing.

Or I could just be fucking with ya.

[HaTeR]

(R)AW_REV_MAY2

Anyone know the date when the countdown for Jericho's debut started? That's all I can think of from that.

[The Naitch]

Spoiler below:

It's Maven

[Xero]

I read that if played backwards that it's the theme to Jericho's Original countdown. Well, I've recorded and reversed it, and it does sound an awful lot like it. Gonna try to upload it.

[Ninti the Mad]

I dunno.

I am not putting my hopes up. Its probably some gay movie they are going to make similar to the dead people stuck in the computers.

[RGWhat316]

Even watching the tape frame-by-frame, it's difficult to really tell. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but at least they have gotten everyone talking.

[The Fugitive]

Mission accomplished, WWE. You got the interwebs buzzing.

I'm looking at it frame-by-frame as well, probably won't find anything groundbreaking or anything that hasn't been already mentioned but it's a timekiller.

[Xero]

I THINK the theme may actually be a reversed, longer version of Jericho's last countdown.

[Blitz]

Yeah it's is prolly gonna be disappointing so I'mma try and keep my hopes down.

Also lol Jordan X you fool.

[Skippord]

Looks like I'm gonna have to smoke some weed to figure this one out

[Xero]

May 2, 2000. Chris Jericho beat Chris Benoit for the Intercontinental Championship.

[The Naitch]

RAW_LOWER_DISP

Has me thinking of unDISPuted champion

[Xero]

And was buried during that reign, thus "Lower".

[The Naitch]

I'd be dissapointed if it was a promo for John Morrison :nono:

[The Fugitive]

I'm stumped on this BAT_ASS_WEEK line. Looking at the frame, it actually looks like BAT_ASS_WEEK1. Week 1 of something shortened to BAT_ASS?

[Blitz]

Or it could just be random shit. There's that too.

[Jura]

I downloaded the .flv and converted to an .avi file if anyone wants it.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/umv3az

[The Fugitive]

Yes, I could be looking into it too much.

Anyway, I'm sure if it means something, someone smarter than me will figure it out. :$

[weather vane]

seems like random files from a WWE computer

[SammyG]

OMFFGGGG he is coming back. I am gonna mark out like a mother fucker.

[FourFifty]

OMFFGGGG he is coming back. I am gonna mark out like a mother fucker.

If it's Jericho I swear to god I'll be a good person and not make fun of midgets!

[SammyG]

And Kennedy comin back next week. Jericho and Kennedy on Raw would be siickkk.

[Mr. Aristocrat]

WWE can't book a single wrestling card without giving up half way through and throwing together whatever random shit they can fit together on the scene. You guys are dissecting what is obviously random letters jumbled together to make secret messages like cryptic passages from the holy book or something. Quit giving WWE so much credit.

[Skippord]

Mr Aristocrat :love:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Good job WWE for doing something interesting. Now let's hope they don't drop the ball, or give it away ala "CHRIS JERICHO RETURNS TO RAW AT SURVIVOR SERIES"

[.44 Magdalene]

BAT_ASS_WEEK made me think of Best Week Ever. I know that's not even close to what it says, I just thought I'd throw that out there.

Fuck you guys. I didn't even watch RAW and I'm getting giddy.

[Evil Vito]

None of it does,

This video could just be generic to bring back anyone, there are so many hidden messages you can make it look to be whatever you want it to be.

There was WM_99 in it, Rocky main evented that show, could be the Rock

REDRUM?

Edge, Lashley, Kennedy

There's so much hashed HTML code there it could be anyone.

It's got me interested, so it's served a purpose, could it be Jericho? Yes, do I want that? Yes. Are we always set up for a fall whenever anything remotley cool could happen? Of course we are!

So just have low expectations of this and enjoy the re-introduction of bastian booger

[Dave Youell]

Bat_Ass_Week clearly refers to when Sting and JEricho were a couple.

How could REDRUM equal Edge, Kennedy or Lashley?

I'm pretty sure Y2J actually used the "REDRUM" line a couple of times.

In any event, I think people are mostly seeing Jericho because they want to, and there are rumors of his return.

[BigDaddyCool]

I saw something about BBQ Sauce. JR is returning to the ring.

[blake639raw]

Johnny the Bull Stamboli has a gimmick now on the indy scene named REDRUM. I heard he got a tryout a few weeks back. It could be him. He'd be a cool feud for Boogeyman maybe.

http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/pictures/j/johnnythebull/15.jpg

[Kane Knight]

ROFL, you actually thought the sig I made in 3 minutes was from RAW?

To be fair, they probably made the video in about the same time, so the belief it was genuine WWE? ;)

http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/g/greatmuta/37.jpg
I mean, come on.

[Loose Cannon]

So Cyber Sunday is the WWE's 222nd PPV. October 22nd is on a Monday, which could be the "season premire" of Raw. I am 24 years old. 24-22 = 2, Y2 J. :love:

[The Fugitive]

Unless he spits asian mist, I don't see any similarities aside from the masks being red and black. =/

If anything, Stamboli looks like he just came off the stage of a chessy B-grade horror movie.

[Kane Knight]

Can they blatantly tip off the Great Muta any more than that?

You mean it's not Kane's bastard child?

What the hell is skittles slam?

[Loose Cannon]

the skittles "taste the rainbow commercials" was the Slam of the week. oh yea.. take that Sherlock.

[Loose Cannon]

or brought to you the slam of the week I should say

[DarKCentaur]

Wow, if it IS Jericho, that's a really creepy premonition by me before the fact.

[BigDaddyCool]

Also, what is toast rescue?

[RP]

Yah i'll go ahead and tell you how this will go.

Jericho comes back
1st month he wrestles for the title and wins ( cause WWE will blow there load )
2nd month he loses the title
3rd month he loses the rematch
4th month he's midcarding with Shelton Benjamin
5th month he's tag champs with Davari ( or someone )
6th month he's injured for a year.

[Theo Dious]

Saw this one on the PWInsider Elite boards: WM00_Match_Tri

The Triangle match between Jericho, Angle and some random dude.

I still can't believe they put a hobo off the street in a match with Jericho and Angle and gave him a title. I wonder whatever happened to that guy...

[Mr. Pierre]

It seems like a bunch of very old files from like 1999. Livewire, Hardcore Champion, JVC (Kaboom of the week, or w/e it was). So possibly "SAVE_US.222" is a video/audio clip of a classic Jericho promo from around that time?

[.44 Magdalene]

Hobo-who?

[BigDaddyCool]

Yah i'll go ahead and tell you how this will go.

Jericho comes back
1st month he wrestles for the title and wins ( cause WWE will blow there load )

5th month he's tag champs with Davari ( or someone )
6th month he's injured for a year.

Wow, you really think he will last for 6 months.

[Mercury Bullet]

I think he will last for quite a while, but not in the prominent role we all think (hope) he will. He will come in and be a big draw for 3 months as he flounders around the upper-mid card for the rest of his career, which will probably be 3-5 more years.

I could see somebody taking the title off Cena (say, Orton), Jericho taking the title off Orton (briefly), and then Cena going over Jericho (again) to retain the title. And that would be all the main event action we would see from him.

[Mooияakeя™]

So it's a passage in the bible refering to King Of Jericho.

Fuck me, it's not even cryptic now Boone.

[Mr. Aristocrat]

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8669/vinnyad0.jpg
Vince McMahon LOLzzzz! They think I'm gonna let Jericho back in the Main Event? ROFL!

[#1-norm-fan]

From Boone...

- One of the phrases that shows up a few times is "cd_volume4_1.act". On WWE's CD "WWE The Music: Volume 4", Track 1 is the theme music of .. Chris Jericho. With that in mind, the clip is somewhat similar to Chris Jericho's old entrance video.

- The phrase "7OCT" is repeated over and over on one frame. October 7th is the date of WWE's next PPV, No Mercy.

That along with the Triple Threat thing... too many coincidences. It's Jericho.

It won't be enough to make me order No Mercy though.

[Mooияakeя™]

I will order. Oh yeah, I will fükken order.

*Spoiler* -> It doesn't matter who it anyway... they will be fed to Cena. <-

[Sephiroth]

It will be the return of Gold Dust.

[chrisat928]

My memory is a little fuzzy about it, but didn't Jericho name the Skittles Slam as one of his 1,004 moves?

[Crossrine]

When I saw the first 2 seconds I thought it was a commercial for another cop/forensic scientist show that was going to be on USA. Then(wont lie here) marked out a little hoping it was Jericho.
But what I want to get at is that some people are taking this waaayy to far. Adding up the numbers, dividing by number of characters, and trying to relate it to Jericho. We have to remember here they will only do promos that can be understood by their target audience, which includes like 10 year olds. Honestly when was the last time you saw a promo that required thought? Hm?
still hope its jericho's return though

[Volare]

Long time everyone. My team dosen't get RAW in the sandbox Untill Tuesday night at 9pm our time...(noon CST 1pm EST) and when the guys im with saw that, we were thinking jericho.

So my friend found the vid on the web and i've been lookin at it with the rest of my team, and found this item and is wonderin WTF.

It goes like this

usr/share/catman/a_man/cat1(and random letters/numbers)

kinda thought wtf does a cat have to do with RAW or Smackdown! unless he did something with "The Kat" (Lawler's Ex) which I have no friggen clue.

As I said, a lot of it is just random file listings. The Volume 4 thing though is too specific not to have other, similar (track 2 etc) listings near it.

[Volare]

Agreed. Just thought it was random to see. The only thing a few people have liked over here is that they showed Summerslam on the AFN (Armed Forces Network) for us overhere....and the guys watching were getting pissed that SS was on and not replays of College Football because how bad it sucked.

But by seeing that promo they were happy that something might happen now that is worth watching

For me, "Cat" refers to a Lion... Hence, "Liontamer".

[Mr. Aristocrat]

For me, "cat" meant "Kat" as in "The Kat" who had a nice "ass" which was also in the message. But then the save_us.222 meant that we need to save space (the under score means space) and the us is really the US so we know it's a American citizen. Now the 222 took some time but I cracked the code and it obviously means two of something that is too cool. The third 2 is reference to the fact that there are two O's in the word cool. So it mean "Save Space for 2 Americans that are Too Cool." Plus when you factor in the fact that The Kat was Grand Masta Sexay's step mom for a while it's so fucking obvious I don't know how any of you missed it.

Seriously you fucking losers, it's random text. MAYBE the save_us.222 has some kind of meaning, but to the assholes who are watching this video over and over again like it's secretly got the answers to your pitiful life on it, STOP! It's random text. Fucking random text. RANDOM TEXT! God you fags are like the people who talk about The Matrix, Star Wars, or Star Trek like it's real and has any connection to the real world outside of a few hours of entertainment. Get over it.

[Xero]

John Cena can't wrestle and is the worst booked champion of all time. See, the way they SHOULD book him is (25 pages to follow).

So, as you can see, Matt Borne was the best Doink and that's why he leads into the reason John Cena could be the best heel of all time.

Seriously, I'm sure most of us realize that the ("smart") IWC mirrors Sci-Fi geeks in many aspects. Anyone who denies it is in denial. We dress up for events, flock to conventions and have arguments over stupid shit like Kane not wearing the mask anymore and why The Undertaker was better ten years ago than now.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think it's Jim Niedhart

[Lock Jaw]

I think it's Kwee-Wee.

I think it's Ralphus.

You kidding? 99% of the time, they're one and the same.

[Xero]

Could explain why ECW is on SciFi.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think it's heyman, the poster not the wrestler.

[Crossrine]

I think we should stop talking about this until next week if they do it again. If there is some new "Clue" then sure lets over think everything. But until then lets just kick back relax, enjoy a week without John Cena and pray it really is a Jericho comeback.

[Kane Knight]

Could explain why ECW is on SciFi.

Because wrestling fans can catch it between Xena reruns and original programming like Highlander: The Source.

[Shisen Kopf]

Oh hell yeah, its gonna be the long waited return of Ludvig Borga and Mantaur!!

[Kane Knight]

You know what I love? 8 seconds of video is gonna be more discussed than the rest of Raw. Look at the size of the Raw thread and look at the size of the thread decrypting the deeper meaning of the brief promo.

[#1-norm-fan]

Oh, and I posted those facts because they are just that. Facts... to be discussed. Not typical lame opinions or "rumors" from Boone.

Track 1 of WWE: The Music Volume 4 is Jericho's theme and cd_volume4_1.act shows up in the video.

Just to clarify for any retards out there who may be pissed because someone posted a quote from Boone despite the fact that it contained legit information.

[KayfabeMan]

It's obviously The Dudleys.

[Kane Knight]

Just to whine like the little bitch I am.

[KayfabeMan]

PLUS....

People, people, people.

The "SAVE US 222" is an obvious plea in reference to the Queensland Police Radio Code of 222, which is used for traffic congestion. They want us to save them from traffic congestion in Queensland. Not that I blame them.

[Kane Knight]

How much does Jericho weigh? I bet it's 222 lbs.

Just to whine like the little bitch I am.


Uh oh... looks like one of said retards has a guilty conscience. :lol:

[Cuzziebro]

I know 100% that I saw "Livewire", which I believe ended sometime in 1998 or 1999.

Live Wire is also a song by Fozzy - http://www.fozzyrock.com/discography.htm

[The Fugitive]

Not really, it's a Motley Crue song. They just covered it and I doubt that's what Live Wire is referred to, good guess though.

[Skippord]

Its Nikki Sixx

debuting Monday

[SammyG]

I can not wait. Seriously now.

[Extreme Angle]

there is a vid on youtube of it... 9 seconds through it it sounds like somebody is saying "i'm back"

Vince McMahon LOLzzzz! They think I'm gonna let Jericho back in the Main Event? ROFL!

That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Only thing I could think of with BAT_ASS_WEEK is Batista, which I'm sure someone said on here, but all I can guess is that they plan on bringing him in to go to SmackDown as a heel for Batista by interfering with the match at No Mercy or something.

Makes no sense, I know (seeing as how the promo was on RAW), but this is the WWE we're talking about. They employ NO sense, so I could see them doing something like this (though that could put him right into the main event picture on a show that really NEEDS him).

[chrisat928]

The Promo was on ECW too.

[Dave Youell]

The Promo was on ECW too.
Good! Was it the same one?

Also the music in the background sounds awesome

[Kane Knight]

Uh oh... looks like one of said retards has a guilty conscience. :lol:

Who, you?

[DarKCentaur]

When I saw the first 2 seconds I thought it was a commercial for another cop/forensic scientist show that was going to be on USA. Then(wont lie here) marked out a little hoping it was Jericho.
But what I want to get at is that some people are taking this waaayy to far. Adding up the numbers, dividing by number of characters, and trying to relate it to Jericho. We have to remember here they will only do promos that can be understood by their target audience, which includes like 10 year olds. Honestly when was the last time you saw a promo that required thought? Hm?
still hope its jericho's return though


http://www.ddtdigest.com/features/conspire.htm

Had to find this classic gem :lol:

[Dorkchop]

Maybe it's for a Jericho DVD or something? I don't know. I just hope this turns out to not be stupid

[Xero]

Maybe it's Christian.

You know, cause he stole the gimmick for TNA anyway. :shifty:

Seriously though, that was the dumbest ripoff they've ever done.

Someone actually claimed otherwise. Just thought I'd point it out.

It probably is Jericho, BTW. I'm not saying it isn't.

It's just that people are making of "facts" and connections that aren't there. They're fucktards, and really need a lethal dose of:

http://www.ximtc.net/home/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/knot-hangmans-noose-black-backdrop-18mm-manila-1-ajhd.jpg
Some of these connections are really, really lame. The style of promo, however, is very much similar.

[Crossrine]

Ya its like I said before people are jumping through hoops to try to convince themselves that it is Jericho. Granted I believe it's Jericho, only because I want to. I am not punching numbers from the video into a calculator and dividing by Jericho's waist line. I think thats pretty retarded, considering WWE has never a done a promo that a squirrel couldn't understand.

[Xero]

While most of it is all jibberish, the 222 being a bible verse relating to Jericho is a pretty big coincidence if it isn't Jericho.

[94 SVT Cobra]

^ god damn bro....how did you even think that up lol?

Right. No need to get deep, the deeped WWE promos are about as solid as your average sheet of toilet paper.

Half-ply.

Single-ply that's in the toilet.

[D Mac]

Neo is coming.

[Volare]

A re-packaged Matt Hardy V2??

Mattitude follower Shannon Moore bringing back his Moore-ons as well?

[diothoir]

Bit late to bring back Crash Holly though.

[Kane Knight]

A .222 round is a low caliber that is favored by assassins. Often times, an assassin would take such a round and shoot it intop someone's head, AKA cerebrum. Cerebral Assassin. Could a Triple H return be far off?

[Tommy Gunn]

If if is Chris Jericho, I'd love for him to debut on Smackdown, but that'll never happen. He'll come back to Raw, get built up for a few months then start jobbing to Trips again.

[Kane Knight]

I would have to be Raw. Raw IS Jericho.

[Xero]

RAW is JERICHO

Friday Night Jericho

Jericho on SciFi

Jericho in Heat

[Kane Knight]

Total Nonstop Jericho?

[Xero]

TNA jERICHO!

[FourFifty]

If Jericho goes to TNA 10 bucks says he'll call every Total Nonstop Assclowns.

[addy2hotty]

The WWE have no idea about 'viral marketing'.

This will end with either:-

1. Them blowing their load with a JERICHO IS COMING type shit
2. The same fucking promo week in, week out until it turns out....
3. ...that it's the return of MISSSSSSSSSSSTER KENNEDY!
4. ....at CYBER SUNDAY.....sunday.

To me, it's quite clearly not Jericho, as that would make thier promo good. This will be nothing very good at all. As it's the WWE. They have Nick Jr writers remember.

[KingofOldSchool]

People are looking way too much into this shit.

Hell I'm sure I can make those "cryptic" clues to make it look like Billy Gunn is coming back.

I don't know about all of you but I'm done blowing my load over this. I'm no longer going to get my hopes up.

[Jura]

He's not coming back. I'm sorry to say this guys but my sources have confirmed this.

[Xero]

He's not coming back. I'm sorry to say this guys but my sources have confirmed this.
And Bret's already at WrestleMania, right? He's being set up this early so no one suspects he's going to be a surprise.

[Kane Knight]

He's not coming back. I'm sorry to say this guys but my sources have confirmed this.

My sources have confirmed that it's a return of Eugene. Save us is a line from Boston's "Corporate America." 2.2.2 obviously refers to the release date in 2002. The Retard gimmick will be rehashed, using the Boston Theme, which was also called "Downer's Revenger."

[BigDaddyCool]

My sources say it is Jeff Jarrett, slap nutz.

[D Mac]

Ring of Jericho!

Memphis Wrestling Jericho

Ohio Valley Jericho

[94 SVT Cobra]

I will laugh my ass off is this is really jericho cause its one of the ways to get me to watch again. Why will i laugh my ass off? i dont know exactly....but i will

[Team Sheep]

Some of those files say 'Nestle' and 'Starburst'

Maybe they're telling us to eat more.

[Lux]

I'm putting my money on Jericho, finally a reason to watch wrestling

[Kane Knight]

They think if they can make their fans fat enough, they'll all have nothing better to do than watch more.

And become Cena fans.

[Crossrine]

If it is a plug for Cyber Sunday I will be high disgruntled. :mad:

[Xero]

Maybe it's for William Regal and he just wants to besmirch us.

[Kane Knight]

If it is a plug for Cyber Sunday I will be high disgruntled. :mad:What if it's a promo for Y2Jericho returning at CS?

What the hell? I'm watching the Thursday night UK version and they didn't show it.

I'm sure it's some freshly packaged ex-bodybuilder with some terrible gimmick coming out of OVW after three months of "training" because he has the "look".

He'll get a monster push and buried all within the next 9-12 months. And by this time next year he will have been wished the best in all his future endeavors.

[Kane Knight]

It's Shawn Michaels.

Save us is a reference to his new gimmick. The asshole Sunday Christian who lies, cheats, steals, and judges.

[Crossrine]

I wonder when they will "unveil" the new wrestler. A ppv?

[Y2Ant]

What the hell? I'm watching the Thursday night UK version and they didn't show it.

You fuckers!
Watch the live RAW on tuesday morning like a real man then, you pussy. It was on there :foc:

and FYI it's not Jericho, it's the return of Steve Blackman.

WWE say 'stay tuned' over Y2J


<!-- end headline or Pic Headline -->September 26, 2007


COMMENT ON THIS STORY (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003560001-2007440730,00.html#haveYourSay)




LAST week all the talk was about who was leaving the WWE - but now the only thing on fans' lips is who may be returning.

And it's all because of a video that aired on this Monday's Raw.

At first the clip just looked like a jumbled mix of numbers and letters.

However on closer inspection it has led to a huge buzz that Chris Jericho may be returning to the squared circle.

Those flames have now been fanned by a senior WWE insider, who told us to "stay tuned" when we asked about Y2J.

You can watch the video by clicking the link below:
<CENTER> </CENTER><CENTER>http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2006491098,000.jpg (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,11021-2006410749,00.html?channel=Sports&clipID=1347_SUN3818)</CENTER>

The video has a similar look and feel to those used to promote Jericho in the past, and the key phrase to spot is the one that pops up a few times saying 'SAVE_US.222'.

Some sleuths on the Internet, who we imagine to be like X Files' Lone Gunmen, have tied it directly to the former world heavyweight champion.
Joshua 2:2, Verse 2 of the bible says - "It was told the king of Jericho, saying: 'Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land.'"

So SAVE_US.222 may actually mean 'SAVE US Y2J' - which neatly links to one of Jericho's original catchphrases, signs recently appearing on Raw and the fact that WWE is in dire need of a big name star to boost ratings and match-quality.

Still don't believe it?

Then check out these other things spotted in the video. Some are slightly more convincing than others:

CD_VOLUME4_1 - The first track on the CD WWE The Music: Volume 4 is Jericho's theme tune.

SMACK_BROUGHT1 - Jericho made his WWE debut by famously interrupting The Rock. The Rock's catchphrases included 'Just Bring It' and 'Layeth the Smacketh Down'.

PROMO_99 and CHICAGO99_CAMM:A - That memorable debut and promo happened in 1999 in Chicago.

WM_MATCH_TRI - Y2J fought Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 2000.

CHAMP_HARD - Chris was a former hardcore champion, but then again so were Pat Patterson, Shawn Stasiak and Terri.

LIVEWIRE - The name of both a song by Chris's band Fozzy and a an old

WWE telly show.

While WWE desperately need some good news and a big star, the timing for Jericho is also perfect.

The Ayatollah of Rock N' Rollah has a new book coming out and it's far easier to sell copies by appearing on Raw than those awful early morning American chat shows.

Interestingly although Chris is going on a signing tour, he has keep every Monday night free - which is the same night Raw is taped on.

His recent quotes on the problems of drugs and death in wrestling seem to point to a return too. Chris towed the WWE line fully in all his TV interviews.

But Y2J also likes to tease.

There have been two prominent rumours of him going to TNA - once when a picture on his own website showed him by a TNA logo and the other after the company premiered the latest Fozzy video.

But Jericho's (Lion)heart has always really been with the WWE and we can't see either side making a promise they can't keep.

As for when it will happen - the video flashes as 7_OCT, which is when the WWE's No Mercy PPV takes place.

Make sure you put it in your diary.

WE GET IT! IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE JERICHO! SHUT UP BOONE!

It’s an undead Zombie stable! With the rumoured Feddy Vs Jason Vs Ash (Evil Dead) coming around, this would be a perfect way to test the waters to see if the public would be interested.

Who else could be part of this 7 nation zombie army?

Benoit?
Andre would make a great Zombie enforcer

Man, this is almost like some Nostradamus-type shit, where people try to decipher random clues. I love how everyone is taking file names shown in the promo and deciphering them. I for one refuse to make any assumptions or conclusions. I just find it interesting that WWE is doing the "dropping-subtle-hints-for-avid-fans" deal. Even if it fails and stops now, it was still good work on WWE's part.

I somehow doubt they're doing it. any clues are mere coincidence.

[Goulet]

Dave Meltzer stated Thursday night that Chris Jericho has picked WWE over TNA for his return to the ring, and that Y2J is likely to return to WWE on 10/7 at the No Mercy PPV. Meltzer had been reporting that Jericho was in talks with both WWE and TNA, but ultimately opted to mark his return with World Wrestling Entertainment.

[Xero]

I don't believe Meltzer actually knows 100%, he's just taking the safe route.

[Mercury Bullet]

I'm going to fucking LAUGH when this isn't Jericho at all and he isn't returning ANYWHERE.

And then they can report Jericho resigned with VH1's Best Week Ever and picked them over WWE and TNA.

[owenbrown]

All I am waiting for is for the impending crashing of these very forums if or when Jericho does return to the WWE.

[weather vane]

I can't wait for it to be Jericho and all you nay sayers will be like "uhh yeah but they are just gonna fuck it up anyways". Then you will all complain some more.

[Mercury Bullet]

Don't get me wrong, I hope it is Jericho, and I don't necessarily think he will be a total waste. BUT, with all the 'news' reports and other bullshit flying around everywhere its hard not to be cynical at headlines like "Chris Jericho picks WWE over TNA"...as if it is definitively known he is back and under contract with WWE.

[Sephiroth]

Dammit! It will all be an angle for bringing back Hogan, just watch and see.

[Xero]

Oh, I believe it's Jericho, but they'll fuck it up. Maybe not right away, but by this time next year he'll have jobbed to Cena multiple times and be back in the midcard feuding with Santino Marella: Italian Chef.

[Sephiroth]

Oh, I believe it's Jericho, but they'll fuck it up. Maybe not right away, but by this time next year he'll have jobbed to Cena multiple times and be back in the midcard feuding with Santino Marella: Italian Chef.

Seriously, if it is Jericho and he'll job to Cena, i will make sure Cena gets hit by a truck.

[Xero]

How about this: Jericho has a HUGE push. He goes on to destroy Cena at Cyber Sunday. He has a nice, long title reign. Then, WrestleMania comes along, and Hogan wants a pay check. Well, what better way than to commemorate the 20th anniversary of WrestleMania 4 where Hogan didn't main event than to have him beat Chris Jericho in the main event?

[chrisat928]

Then I would be at the top of the stadium with a high powered rifle, and everyone will see Hogans head explode on PPV.
