Smark Out Moment

UPDATE: You can check out the ride below, but here's the confirmation: yes, CHRIS JERICHO has returned to WWE on January 2, 2012. (By the way, you can check out my interview with him earlier this year). Within the next hour or so, I'll be posting a special edition of Smack Talk below as well.



On tonight's WWE Monday Night Raw, the Twitter updates flashed a cryptic message pointing us to a YouTube account, itbegins2012. So what exactly does this mean?

Well, the last time we saw something like this, it was the Undertaker's return. Before that, Chris Jericho returned. We had a one-shot promo for Hade Vansen that went nowhere (and no I don't think it's him), but essentially it seems like every time they do these things, it's a return or a debut. Brodus Clay was supposed to make his redebut on Raw tonight, but AGAIN was pushed back, and I doubt that January 2nd will be his debut as that's too far along.


UPDATE: Now there is a new video on the channel "second2012". Still pretty cryptic with nothing solid being given to us.


UPDATE: LookWithin2012. Basically the same things. This has become boring and much less interesting since it began. As with the past two weeks, check out the YouTube channel to see my analysis.


UPDATE: 2012Control. Now, they're focusing more on the girl being very important. I'm considering this a red herring and I still believe it's Chris Jericho that will be returning on January 2nd, but now, if I were to say what my second choice would be, I'd lean towards Shane and Stephanie both returning.


UPDATE: Prophetless2012. We've really gone from this starting as a little boy in a classroom seeming like he's special in some way to the girl being completely in charge and the boy being a complete pushover, it seems. The resident creepy little girl even goes so far as to throw down the book he was writing in. Ouch, what a bitch. Even though if you put a gun to my head, I'd still say Chris Jericho is who they planned on having the videos be for, I'm completely on board with the possibility of it being Shane McMahon who would start a feud with Triple H over the company.


UPDATE: The End Begins. This is, I suppose, the last of the videos. Thinking Jericho all the way here, still. I have to say, though, unless this is something I completely didn't see coming, this was definitely my least favorite of the build-up promos they've done for Jericho. Save_Us was so much better.
