WWE is pish!

[celtic_4_ever]

It is not...

Well some times it is.

[Don Corleone]

Here's what I can tell you. This past June, prior to Benoit's death, Court Bauer, a creative team member who was recently released, approached the rest of the staff with an idea for either bringing back Jericho or introducing the New Hart Foundation. I guess he'd gotten the new Nine Inch Nails CD and was impressed with the viral marketing campaign they'd done, which included things like leaving zip drives on merchandise tables at live events, which fans would find, take home, and discover new videos or songs on. The idea was to do something similar on Raw, something "Jerichocentric" that would basically be an updated version of the countdown clock which he debuted to in 1999. Ideas included websites set up by third parties (so as not to be traced to WWE, and to ensure there wasn't an obvious WWE feel to them), deals on Youtube and TV, mystery ads on WWE.com (for example, in the Hart Foundation idea, maybe a "public service announcement" about heart attacks that when you clicked it would take you to a Calgary-related website). In other words, very similar to the ROH Project 161 storyline, except the idea was that it would be a fun thing that fans could get excited about in trying to crack the code, as opposed to something creepy involving stalkers or blood or emos. At the time, the rest of the team loved it, but hadn't talked to Jericho about it yet, and then things went into disarray when the Benoit tragedy and everything related to it went down. One of the keys to it, which is the main reason I suspect that this is what save_us.222 is all about, is that there would be clues indicating that this was all about Jericho (the music CD thing for example), but also deliberate misdirects and red herrings (WrestleMania 99). Again, this may have nothing to do with Jericho but it does seem very similar to the original idea, plus the feeling is that one way or another he's coming back soon.

Cena is out for 6 to 8 months

WWE Champion John Cena has suffered a complete tear of his right pectoral tendon and is heading into surgery, according to noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews. Because of the seriousness of the injury, WWE officials will not allow Cena to compete this Sunday at No Mercy, and he will have no choice but to surrender the title.

aye i no its fake but so is evryting, although generally the matchs r shit and just av it on in the background

[Gary Sausages]

Just thought id throw in that im a wrestling fan.

I know fine well its fake and a lot of people think its sad and whatever, but at the end of the day, its entertainment, and the more you know about it, the more you appreciate it. If youre going to say "Wrestling is fake and pish", its generally because you dont know a lot about it, same with a lot of things. I dont see how watching wrestling week in week out is hugely different from watching Lost or Heroes.

[celticmad117]

austin was great on raw, he was always good to watch bring the back the old boys from a few years back

[Gary Sausages]

Raw this week was the best its been in a LONG while.
The opening segment with DX was Hilarious, as was Austin.
Santino Marella is the best thing in the WWE right now...
... well until Jericho comes back.

[celticmad117]

DX should stay, fuck the 1 night get rodd dog, billy gun, xpac back
