Jericho Website Shocker! Spoilers perhaps
 
Go look at the main gif on Y2Js site

www.chrisjericho.com

So.....TNA bound...or is this an angle/pisstake/hoax?

Nervous Ferret 08-25-2005 06:01 PM

whoa

McLegend 08-25-2005 06:02 PM

Thats pretty cool

McLegend 08-25-2005 06:02 PM

Don't know if it's real or not however

JH 08-25-2005 06:03 PM

jericho to tna????
that would be AWESOME

RP 08-25-2005 06:05 PM

We all know TNA is secretly owned by TNA. I'm not surprised.




Its probably fake. That site looks horrible.

Xero 08-25-2005 06:05 PM

Fuck, you beat me.

JH 08-25-2005 06:07 PM

this is straight from wrestlezone.com

While there remains the possibility of Chris Jericho debuting with TNA, WWE officials have absolutely no fear that he will do so, reports PWTorch.com And, even if he did, WWE does not believe his presence alone could help make TNA a serious competitor.

Upon embarking on his hiatus, Jericho made it clear to Vince McMahon that he had no intentions of signing with TNA. Thus, if Jericho were to go back on his word, he would burn a serious bridge with WWE and risk having the door closed on a possible return (at least in terms of being a main-event performer). Because Jericho cannot be sure TNA will be a stable, long-term alternative job source, the negatives seem to outweigh the positives for the gamble that is TNA.

With that in mind, it's not as if Jericho has given TNA a great deal of consideration. While the possibility is always open, the wrestler has not expressed anything that could be perceived as a desire to join the company.

But, what if he does? In that case, WWE officials are still not worried, as they do not believe a promotion can be built around Chris Jericho. WWE is very high on Jericho, but the feeling is that he's not nearly big enough a star to single-handedly take a promotion to war with WWE. Obviously, WWE would be upset to lose one of its top performers, but just as Chris Jericho won't be the shot in the arm TNA needs to seriously compete, his absence from WWE would hardly drive it into the ground

i hope the fuck he has signed with tna cause we all know a company can be built around jericho

Joey Slugs 08-25-2005 06:09 PM

so he never did sign that new deal with WWE? i really don't know what to think of this.





although... Rhino v Raven at the next PPV, Jericho runs-in, costs Raven the title, Y2J-Raven fued :drool:

FearedSanctity 08-25-2005 06:10 PM

I watch TNA every once in a while, but if Jericho were there, I'd be watching probably every week

spunkynut 08-25-2005 06:10 PM

^^^that report makes me think its a worked angle shoot thing, its abit too blatent

and the gif isnt professional enough to be real, and there is nothing on the TNA website atm, i mean....Y2J is a MAJOR coup....hottest free agent anyone?

BigDaddyCool 08-25-2005 06:12 PM

Well, he isn't mentioned on TNA anywhere...but he isn't mentioned on WWE rosters either....

the site itself it's really the most professional around. and if he makes a possible run-in at a PPV, why would they spoil it on the TNA site?

The gif looks real shitty, probably just a swerve. No mention on it on the TNA website, remember last time they spoke out and basically killed the Hardy invasion angle?

This is no different than Matt Hardy name dropping ROH on WWE TV. The WWE now knows that there is a smart crowd out there, and they want to exploit us. Since it's gotten to most wrestling websites, I'd say that it's mission accomplished...

Loose Cannon 08-25-2005 06:36 PM

WWE.com announced that he was resigned and wasn't going anywhere... I'll look for the article...

Edit:

Chris Jericho wants to set the record straight.

With various outside sources reporting that Jericho has yet to sign a contract extension with WWE, the former undisputed champion made sure to contact WWE.com and denounce those reports.

“I signed an extension on Monday in Cleveland at Gund Arena,” Jericho said. “I’ve been working with WWE for six years and I’m not going anywhere.”

JH 08-25-2005 10:36 PM

heres the damn press release for everyone who does'nt believe me

from pwinsider:

In a press release that is on Chris Jericho's official website dated 8/22 but not actively linked from the main page of the website, Jericho announces that he has left World Wrestling Entertainment for other endeavors.

In the statement, Jericho writes, "I eventually had my first match on Oct 2, 1990 in Ponoka, Alberta….and on August 22, 2005 in Hampton, Virginia, I had my last match. For now. Yes it’s true. After months of speculation and rumors and numerous decoys and red herrings being thrown about, the official news from the boss man (me) is that I am leaving the WWE." Jericho noted that after wrestling for 15 years, he was mentally burnt out and that he is a "goal oriented person who thrives on a challenge and I’m not challenged by wrestling at this point in time," noting that he has accomplished everything he ever wanted to do in the business.

Jericho noted that at this point, he is going to focus on his rock band Fozzy and his satellite radio show while also going out on auditions for acting parts, noting that he's filmed a role for a Sci-Fi Channel film that will air next year. Jericho will also continue to make appearances on VH-1's Best Week Ever.

In regard to his future in the wrestling business, Jericho wrote, "Whether I do achieve success outside of wrestling or I don’t, I can say one thing for sure…I’m not retiring from the wrestling business. Too many people over too many years have said that and have constantly returned. I’m leaving the WWE for good, I’m not leaving wrestling for good. When I’m ready to come back I will. It may be one month, it may be one year, but when the time is right, I’ll know and I will return and be better than ever...I wouldn’t think of returning any other way.

FearedSanctity 08-25-2005 10:37 PM

Not very convincing.

Since, you know, the WWE (And JEricho) went on record that they had signed an extension, there is no benefit from them lying, and he's said very little definitive. Yes, he is gone from the WWE. We knew that. That doesn't mean shit.

FearedSanctity 08-25-2005 10:47 PM

Not according to what you posted. It says he is gone from the WWE. TRUE.

It says he will not come back. FALSE.

It says he is burned out after 15 years. TRUE.

It says he will never wrestle for the WWE again. FALSE.

Kane Knight 08-25-2005 11:05 PM

In other words, you're blowing it out of proportion.
