I actually keep thinking of who it could be besides Chris Jericho, because for the same reasons as PCM, it does seem fairly obvious. KK seems to think this is good, and I don't completely disagree, as it is being done in style, but when Chris Jericho initially debuted, you didn't really know "JERICHO" was going to flash up on the screen and send people into a frenzy.
Jericho won't be a disappointment, and while John Morrison would be, I think it could potentially be a good disappointment. Like Randy Orton with his RNN updates. When Chris Jericho originally claimed to be saving the WWE, it was a heelish thing (although so awesome the fans all cheered it, which led to a quick face turn), but the original plan was for it to be cocky and arrogant. As much as I love Jericho, the "save_us.222" thing is quite literal right now.
John Morrison coming out as "Johnny Christ" at No Mercy, and claiming to be the one to save us all, would be absolutely awesome in a "Fuck, we don't want to see you!" way. I think it would be some good heat for him. HOWEVER, it would be a good idea to have Jericho interrupt this, and tell Morrison to "SHUT...THE HELL...UP!" An initial disappointment before the big reveal would be great...possibly even better than the straight reveal (as we get the high coming off a low we don't think we're going to see past). The Morrison reveal on its own would be pretty shitty without the Jericho payoff.
The person I originally saw doing this, was Edge, but Morrison is a better choice just because of his gimmick's similarities with Chris Jericho's. Just the whole rock star vibe, complete with his mocking promos on ECW. It'd be great in a sense that Morrison could get a big boost from feuding with Jericho. ECW is meant to be kind of a developmental league, and Morrison is getting pretty good. It might be time to give him another run on RAW (even though he just moved to ECW). Also, on RAW, he can be with Melina, which is good for them, and it allows that relationship to be revisited.
