Think, all the signs point to it. Not that the IWC are dumb brunette chicks with great butts, but that the IWC (most of it, that is) will believe a flimsy story for no reason. Take, for example, this "Save_Us.222" thing. For WEEKS, perhaps MONTHS I've seen people go "He's [Jericho] Definitely coming back tonight." Raw comes and goes, no Jericho. No NOTHING. Just another Save_Us Promo.
Cut to tonight, Santino's promo, with Maria, saying that Stone Cold will come back, and Santino brushing it off, as if Maria is just a rumormonger who will believe almsot anything without any doubt put forward, just like the Internet to this Save_Us shit.
I believe it was Raven who said that smarks, while they think they're smart, because they know a few insider terms and how to use them, that they can't be tricked or worked, as it were, yet these people are some of the easiest tricked. (Just paraphrasing.) See, the IWC may not believe in the power of Kayfabe, but just how easy is it to take the Internet for a ride?
Again, let's use Save_Us as an example. Ever since they started airing, people broke the codes down, thinking they were so smart, they CRACKED the code, and they passed along this information. First, it was No Mercy (?) that everyone was buzzing about, because JERICHO of all people was coming back! That PPV came and went, and no Jericho. Week after week after that, people were saying the same thing.
So I ask, is Maria, and her easily fooled nature a metaphor for the IWC as a whole, or is it yet another conveniently placed series of coincidences?

Damn, that's deep.
I was actually expecting this to be a look at the hypocrasy of this sect of the fan base demanding talented women's wrestlers and then having every thread based on one devolve into a "POST PICS" thread.

Well I always joke and say that I am the type of fan that thinks they know everything, but the shows are so predictable that I think anyone can see what happens next. With that said I want to be surprised with something that happens on Raw, SD, or ECW.

Different subject altogether, although I personally don't think that's a double standard, it's just differing opinions in different time frames. |

Where did the ICW get the idea that Save Us was Jericho?

All i know is once Jericho appears, about 2/3 of the chat in the AIM chats will be gone because people won't be able to do any more save_us.randomthing jokes.

I think that segment was WWE laughing at everyone on the internet. I'm not sure why they would want to do that, since at least people are talking about it. Certainly better that people watch these promos and come to the wrong conclusions, rather than watching something else on TV while WWE is on. WWE's attitude towards internet fans has always been silly IMO. It's not just internet fans who thought that Jericho was going to appear this evening. At Cyber Sunday people were loudly chanting his name and they did the same at RAW. It's said that the "IWC" represent only a relatively small group of WWE's fanbase, but I'm starting to wonder how true that actually is. |

Interesting theory, but I'd say unless this becomes a weekly occurrence, it was just the E having their fun. I also agree that Raw is so predictable, it's not hard to see what's coming next.
But if Vince and co. think we are really clueless, he's way off base, we might not know it all, but he shouldn't underestimate us either

Honestly, I am not completely convinced that the Save_Us thing even IS Jericho. I know that Jericho is supposed to be returning one of these days, but there is no guarantee that the Save_Us videos have anything to do with him. And to be honest, I really hope that they are NOT Jericho, because we knew it was coming. I would rather have some total surprise be the outcome of those promos.

I have been wondering that myself, I mean just about everybody explores youtube, and the WWE had a whole PPV where they encouraged fans to use the internet. So it's not like its a wild thought, to believe the "smarky" percentage of fans is higher than peeps want to believe. |

The first thing I thought of when I saw this thread was "Being Maria Kanellis."
Except that instead of living in her head and seeing what she sees (ala Being John Malkovich), a lot of the people in this forum would be in her chestal area giggling like madmen and making motorboat sounds.
