When I saw the thread title I just lol'd, but then I came up with this. You know what they SHOULD do? Have it not be Jericho. Because it so obviously IS Jericho. Have people's Jericho hopes completely dashed. Then have Jericho return at some other point with no hype. Jobber entrance after a commercial break.

I don't know if people want Jericho back, because they want him back, or so they can brag about guessing a vignette right. I think that goes both ways though. The people who have continued to insist it's Taker (still?) or the McMahons despite 100 pieces of evidence to the contrary have to be doing it for some reason. They've got the right idea, as far as the being right thing. If it is Taker or someone lame, they get to go HAH! toldja! If it's Jericho "OMFG I'M MARKIN OUT BRO" will be the main sentiment. It's win/win.

Jericho is one of my top 3 all time favorites along with Bret and Rock, and I certainly hope its him. I don't think he'll stick around very long this time (all of his stints have gotten progressively shorter,) but I hope this is a 1-2 year victory lap of sorts. I want him to get a good, long world title run, have a feud with Punk, and put over someone else on the way out.
With all that being said, I also hope its him just because the number of "Haha it wasn't Jericho!" posts if its not him are going to be absolutely insane and obnoxious.

Its pretty obvious he is coming back, and as a heel at that. Hes just trying to piss everyone off. Thats what I'm thinking. He knows that if he returns, he'll be a face, so he probably thinks that if he acts like this, he'll get booed on his return. Won't happen, but hey, worth a shot.

Jobber entrance after a commercial break. On NXT. He shows up on the FCW roster page as Ronnie James Jericho.

What about all of the "I knew it was Jericho all along" posts that will surely show up. They won't be any less obnoxious. I hope it's Skip Sheffield so we can all have a good LOL.

Hell, I'd rather have Sheffield back than Jericho.
Though the Ryback name sounds insanely stupid.

I really hope he is in studio rather than back in wwe cause the internet IWC peeps think they know everything and every time they are wrong I smile like the grinch. Undertaker all the way.

Have people's Jericho hopes completely dashed. Then have Jericho return at some other point with no hype. Jobber entrance after a commercial break. Haha I mean, they should make a big deal about it obviously, like have him return one night on Raw at the end of the show, but just don't mention it at all beforehand. And somehow they've got to keep the dirt sheets from finding out. If you do that after having had the It Begins thing be a total non-Jericho letdown, it would be AWESOME. Like my point being, if they made the entire It Begins thing entirely with the point that it ISN'T Jericho, and make people think it's Jericho and have it not be him, so that when he doesn't show up people start to think "well maybe he really is retiring", so when he DOES show up it's like WHOA IT'S JERICHO!"

The thing about Jericho's twitter antics lately is that while most people seem to think it's him kayfabing or something, that makes absolutely no sense to me. Sure, calling out people for stealing his moves makes sense. Saying that he's never working with WWE again and is sick of people asking him about wrestling doesn't tie in with any character he's ever had, and if he does come back, would make even less sense.

I think its Brodus Clay next Monday. People will be pissed. Jericho comes back at the Rumble and win it.

That's very true. It would make a nice swerve and make it actually surprising. I feel like I'm denied an insanely huge mark out moment when he returns if it's hyped up beforehand. I still mark crazy huge, but not insanely huge.

If Jericho comes back then he will have a completely different character, so in that regard his comments make sense.

Honestly, whether Taker or Y2J, I can't say i'll be particularly enthusiastic about it. Same old, same old.

They should have the last video tonight be titled "Deception", and then have Jericho surprise attack CM Punk and beat him down in his hometown. The January 2nd thing would have been a ruse from the start, and Jericho could even address it in his first promo by saying that you have to keep an element of surprise or some such.

The more I read these stories, the less I want him back. This. It's actually getting really f***ing annoying. Unless he isn't actually coming back, then I can see where he's coming from. But it's his own fault for feeding the trolls so often, re: his sabbaticals and returns. It's like he thinks he's much cleverer at playing the internet than he actually is (like that time he put the TNA logo on the entrance to his official website while he was away from WWE back in 06-07). Either way, even if he isn't coming back, there's all those tweets about people in WWE stealing his gimmick and all that unnecessary nonsense. He's getting to, if not Matt Hardy levels, than Chavo Guerrero levels of "Doesn't know how to be on the internet" irritation.
