SaveUS.222, OR as it's becoming to be known "Pimp the next PPV and RAW".
Smart marketing, bad choice to bring Jericho back on. My interest is waning.

Truthfully, if it's not tonight then I could care less. This has gone on long enough, and i think they're going to lose the crowd if they drag it longer I think one of the major problems in this has been the newz sites feeding on the rumors with either conjecture or baseless theories. We will tend to give greater stock to them when they say "Jericho will debut at Cyber Sunday!" or "No, he'll come back on Raw the next night!" when there's absolutely nothing to back up their claims, compared to us just coming up with our own theories. The slow burn does not work when it isn't allowed to build at its own speed and others build up anticipation for something they can't prove. Well it's working to perfection as I'm sure in many homes, various smarks are going nuts right now because Jericho didn't "Save them" or whatever.

Furthermore casual fans aren't going to scour the Internet all the time for this newz. And casual fans may be just as interested in this as when it began.

Maybe the 3rd sequence ment the third time they show two promos in one night. Tonight is the first. Next week if they do it again will be the second. Obviously the last week is the third, followed by the third promo. The third sequence. The arrival.
Again, that's just me reaching to make sense out of all of this.

I think it is great. It keeps us waiting and guessing. For the past two nights me and my friends are saying tonights going to be the night. And its not. It keeps building it and building it to a point that I just can't wait for it to happen.
It has also gotten one of my friends to think it is The Rock because of the moon they show is from Rocks Hollywood Titantron.
Anyway I think it is great that they keep us hanging and teasing us over and over again. Its like wrestling the way it should be unpredictable and that has been missing for a long time.

The thing is, EVERYONE knows it's Jericho now. So they're going to drag this on and on and on until Jericho returns, and while the live crowd will pop, most of us will go "Jericho. Yay."
It's like the return of DX. We saw that coming for like... four months on end until they finally returned on Raw.

Exactly what I think, and that's why I'm saying that this hasn't burned out. It's burned out on some of us because of all the Newz and how we keep making all these interpretations. Personally I still think it's great.

I give up. There will be no payoff. This issn't how Jerico will return. This is gonna be something else that will be lame and will die off quickly and will soon end up in the analls of Wrestlecrap in the next few months.

Well I knew it was not going to be Tonight or Jericho if it was tonight when Santino made that remark about Beliving everything MAria sees online.

I think the Jericho delay is due to the WWE graphics guys accidentally deleting Jericho's new "Tron," which made them have to start over from scratch. ;D

Don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but... X29... X is 10... plus 2 is 12... so 12-9... December 9th, the day Jericho unified the WWE and WCW/World Championships. More on this... Jericho's Title vs. Mask match against Juvi was February 22nd in 1998... 2...22.

I think we probably have all the information we need, hence the "break the code". Now we know (most likely) it's Jericho, and they know we know. So there has to be something else. But what??.... Wait I know. No, nevermind.

I recorded RAW tonight, so I went back and watched the promo in slow motion. And I noticed something pretty interesting that I haven't been able to make sense of. Throughout the cutscenes, they keep showing a wrestling arena. After pondering this for a while, I figured out that it was Ford Field during Wrestlemania 23. During the promo, the first shot of the arena is packed, and gradually it begins to empty out over time.
So basically, they took shots of people filing in for Wrestlemania 23 and then ran them in reverse. Again, I have no idea what it means, but I thought I should bring it to light.

Break the code.
Launch_19. Whatever happens will launch on the 19th.
...
I bet it's a new brand, or a new restaurant, or even worse.

I don't necessarily disagree but the problem is phoning in PPVs and RAWs because people are watching expecting something big to happen. Week-to-week I'm not nearly as down on RAW as some opinions I've seen but this was a turd from start to finish.

Hey, you never know. It could be Sid.
But no. It could be Sid, it could be Jericho. Most likely though, they're launching some stupid shit that will be forgotten in a couple weeks.
Unless it's the return of Byte This.
