Even if it is, you're all talking about it so it worked.

With SAVE_US222, We've got a mysterious message with embedded computer code providing what could be clues, and people online taking the ball and running with it speculating it could be Chris Jericho (almost to the point that it's blatantly ruining whatever surprise Y2J's return could be). And now we've got what could be a real or fake site called saveus222.com. So I'll be the first to broach the subject: is WWE ripping off P161 and Age Of The Fall with this? Now let me preface this by giving my opinion on the whole thing: I like what the gimmick is bringing to the table, if it brings Jericho back, I'm all for it, and it's got people talking. But the timing of this, and the methods they're using to spread the words, really make me believe that they're using the playbook that ROH used for the Age Of The Fall. Now, it's early, this thing could take any number of twists and turns, but it seems like it could be following the path that Project 161 took. No. In fact, I doubt Vince knows a damn thing about that Indy fed side show. Which is exactly why CM Punk, Colt Cabana & Claudio Castagnoli were signed, right? Sorry. I forgot that WWE doesn't sign indie wrestlers. All WWE Superstars tm just fall out of the sky.  |

Well, Vince CLEARLY wasn't paying attention when he instructed his guys in 2005 to give offers to Punk, Joe, and Bryan Danielson, right? Must've been Vince having a "senior moment", since he clearly doesn't watch anything that's not his own product. |

He just dreamed the whole thing... & so did we. There is no ROH! Nor TNA! There never was a WCW or ECW! Only WWE! |

It looks like saveus222.com is probably fake. I did a look up on it, and got this... Registrant: Christian Wattengard Ingeborg Ofstads vei 51 Tiller, ST 7091 Norway Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. (http://www.godaddy.com) Domain Name: SAVEUS222.COM Created on: 25-Sep-07 Expires on: 25-Sep-08 Last Updated on: 26-Sep-07 Administrative Contact: Wattengard, Christian cwattengard@gmail.com Ingeborg Ofstads vei 51 Tiller, ST 7091 Norway 40874762 Technical Contact: Wattengard, Christian cwattengard@gmail.com Ingeborg Ofstads vei 51 Tiller, ST 7091 Norway 40874762 Domain servers in listed order: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM NS2.DREAMHOST.COM NS3.DREAMHOST.COM but that's the point of viral advertising. You never, ever, EVER have it come back to you. Someone from totally on the outside handles it all. Thats because people like you will dig up everything they can. The point is you're not supposed to ever know who it's coming from. |

The point is you're not supposed to ever know who it's coming from. Beside the point... you think within four days of the first promo they're going to headline a site with "The Walls Cannot be Broken"? Unless... it's a trick. Spooky. 222. |

Nah, i think it's two totally different things. It's easy to associate them because of the number and the mystery thing, but hi tech =/= emo. And unless they start talking about gathering a following and what not, i'm thinking they aren't the same. It's more like a teaser Trailer. Save_us222 is actually viral advertising it's not an ARG/emo waste of time. ROH ripped off a lot of things from the past, even from japan, and especially from ECW and at times WCW. It's not all original and every storyline you can think of has been done. They didn't really acknowledge the counter besides it counting down to 8/9/99. this is pretty much the same, but really intricately detailed. It seems like A LOT of work actually went into the whole project. You know like how To Wong foo went into production when Priscilla Queen of the Desert was halfway through with theirs coincidence. |

Save_US.161  Okay, maybe the argument could be made that this was in production before Project 161 started, but this sort of stuff is too much of a coincidence to me. They're also ripping off NIN... or Tyler Black & Necro Butcher are coming to WWE to hang Domino from the ceiling... |
