Jericho has been in talks with WWE for a few months now...and it's gonna get fun now
Source: PWTorch.com
Reports have recently surfaced the internet about a possible return for Chris Jericho to World Wrestling Entertainment. For a while now, WWE has expressed interest in bringing Chris Jericho back and has even offered him a seven-figure monetary offer for a full-time return. For the past few months the two parties have been communicating on a regular bases. Jericho has not been involved in wrestling since 2005 and now feels that he is willing to return to the scene. A source close to Jericho says that he recognizes that his Hollywood aspirations are not going to provide a short-term monetary reward anywhere near that of WWE’s offer. Right now, Jericho returning to the WWE hinges on whether the two parties can reach a workable arrangement. It is unknown on how long that will take. |

I'm stealing Shadow's idea, but what if it is revealed that Jericho is McMahon's bastard son.
Note: I have just creamed my pants from the thought of the idea |

That would be awesome....
Then Jericho could beat Cena for the belt.... Then after finally admitting Steph and Trips are a couple, Steph could leave HHH for Jericho. Then they could feud up to Mania..... Wierd, I got this odd sense of Deja vu. |

Jericho is good and all, but he is still not the savior you guys make him out to be. But at least we will get a few more good matches out of him.

Jericho wrestles better than 99% of the roster
He has more charisma than 99% of the roster Mic work- I won't even get into that. What more do you want in a savior |

How many more people on these forums will start watching more often because of Jericho? Some will try to deny it, but Jericho will be a reason for tuning in...myself included in that. A lazy Jericho is better that over 75% of the roster anyways. |

Yeah, Chris Jericho won't instantly "save" the WWE, but he will make it a whole lot entertaining.
As Rob said, and Mercury Bullet backed up, reports like this pop up over and over again. To be honest, though, they were all kind of pointing to getting Jericho back for the fall, and we're in the fall, and reports are consistent in reporting the time when the WWE wants him ("NOW!"). Plus, Jericho has a wife and kid, and seven figures is a lot of money. I'm not saying it is definitely going to happen, but the more desperate the WWE gets, the more cash they'll throw at Jericho, and the better his chances of returning are. |

Jericho's not gonna be a huge draw, not off the bat, and not in the current environment. The best we could hope for is that the ratings bounce back if there's any promise of Y2J taking the title away from Cena. He'd make no impact on ECW, and I doubt we'd see him on Smackdown. |

I'd expect maybe a piqued interest for Jericho's return, and that can lay the foundations to the ratings improving a little bit. Not a lot, just a little. |

Yea, he was't always the greatest in WWE at times, I mean he was still Great, but he does get lazy and complacent, and his work suffers because of it. Though If they are throwing that kind of money at him, I'm guessing they are going to give him a decent push for once.

Chris' autobiography is released in October. It's an opportunity to return and shamelessly plug his book (even though WWE haven't published it...I'm sure plugging his book is a small price to pay to have him come back).

I regularly watch Raw, but will try to tune in all the time if Jericho came back.

Jericho has too much history in wrestling to be revealed as the son.
It would ruin his legend to have his character as a McMahon. |

Not if you do it the Kennedy way and whether it crashes and burns or not, you say he forged the documents to just get the money.

Having Jericho around is VERY good because HE'S NOT GREEN. Honestly, Jericho going back the WWE is a sign that he is looong overdue for a serious title reign. I think that if they (WWE) really wants to get things hot, have a faction around him. Face or heel, if you put the right guys in there, this could be BIG. Not n.W.o. big, but would be very interesting television.
Reading these headlines make me laugh because the WWE is actually "giving in" to someone who deserves it. They are finally realizing the phenomenon that was/is Chris Jericho. I just pray that they don't screw this up, but with seven-figure contract negotiations, i don't think they will. |

You idiots are still playing with my feelings, a whole year after you started.
Bastards. KK is right, Jericho probably won't particularly draw but I don't give a shit as I would actually remember that Raw is on for a change. |

Jericho was finally looking like a main event star in his feud with Cena towards the end of his run... and then he left. They should bring him back as a face now, though, and give him a credible push, preferably with the WWE title... not because I'm a Jericho mark, but because he's a guy who has always verged on genuine main event-dom, and would probably be accepted by the fans in that role, as long as he is allowed to come back and make an impact, rather than be mired in the nearly-ran category again with more near-miss antics.
More likely he will be brought back as a heel to play Triple H's future cannon fodder. |

It wasn't incorrect. It just points out that you took an inane and linear approach to a statement which shouldn't have been argued against literally or linear.

That you continue to argue for a literal point goes right back to my astonishment at this level of sheer stupidity. In fact, the idea of hyperbole is...You know...to do so for effect. Which was done. It's not supposed to change the point. Please, I know you have half a brain. I know you're a linear, anal little Lara Emily as well. Work more on the former, and less on the latter. |
