LMAO, it's his attire. Not like it's personal clothing.
But I guess so, I just wanted to make some discussion.

Jericho's Backstage Treatment
Chris Jericho's WWE return was not penciled in anywhere on the booking sheets that were handed out before Monday's RAW from Memphis. The reports claim when Jericho did show up before coming out for TV, they made no attempt to hide him backstage according to PWInsider.com

The script for this Monday's RAW Supershow from Memphis was not finalized until around 7pm CST.

:y:

Jericho's return was awkward, but the more i think about it, the more i realized that it is a thing of gold!

The most epic heel turn in history is upon us...mark my words.

Storm said he taped his match with Jericho, but wouldn't be releasing it.

I still don't get one thing. Jericho was HEEL before he left, so how did he magically turn face when he returned? Surely all those kids in the crowd are not marks and remember him being a bad guy.

The crowd has a tendency to forget things so fast like R-Truth's heel run.

I think the r-truth one is a bit different case Miz attacked him and people hate miz, plus nobody really want to boo truth when he is doing all this funny shit.

It was a return of a BIG name people where beyond hyped to see him so of course he's going to get cheered, and even as a heel it's going to be hard for Y2J to get a ton of heat. He was able to pull it off in the HBK feud because HBK was a top face and they made the feud personal. There not going to be able to repilacte that again with him because honestly who's that big top face in the company that everyone just loves, nobody.

Still think there going to try to have him come in heel though, was prob hoping his debut would piss more people off, but it was more of a lol moment.

Take 2 of fantasy booking that will no doubt be full of loopholes, but who gives a shit.

Over the next few weeks Jericho keeps up this act of not talking and just smiling and he has a couple of matches just to pass the time so to speak. The announcers will mention how we've still not heard from Jericho since his return, what his motives for being back are, what the videos meant, who 'she' is etc. Josh can also run into him backstage on his way to the ring but like the video already posted in here, Jericho shuns him and just smiles.

Jericho enters the Rumble but does not win and Punk defends his title at the Rumble despite shenanigans from Lauranitis and Vickie. Punk comes out and opens the show on RAW the next night and gives his usual celebratory speech etc etc etc. He leaves the ring as he is walking up the ramp, the lights dim and a new cryptic video is played on the titantron that features fully on the 'she' with the general jist of the video being that 'It's almost time.' Punk looks confused and continues up the ramp.

Punk is in the main event later that night and is victorious. Throughout the match, sound and lighting effects all go off at different times that all tie in with the cryptic videos we've been seeing. As Punk is stood in the centre of the ring celebrating, the final video plays where the girl essentially says 'It's time.' The lights go out for several seconds and when they come back on, Jericho is stood over a fallen Punk with the title in his hand and the shit eating grin we've been seeing for the past weeks but that turns to a scowl as the camera zooms in to close the show.

Jericho cuts a promo the following week that goes over his motives for returning and his reasons for attacking Punk which will tie in with the whole best in the world stuff and what not. He says that he will not reveal who 'she' is because she will be here in person next week.

The she is revealed to be Stephanie McMahon and she goes over how Punk essentially caused Vince to lose control of his company and insulted the McMahon family and that she gave Lauranitis specific instructions to get the belt off of Punk but he failed in doing so. She also notes that her husband HHH could not silence Punk despite beating him in their showdown at SummerSlam? so she instead turned to someone who she knew had just as much of an issue with Punk as she did and that was an old allie, Jericho. She could also remove Lauranitis from his position and take over herself with him as her assistant.

Holy fuck Dale, even though that's your imagination.

It makes a hell lot of sense and I really, really dig that.

Another Update on Chris Jericho's WWE Status & Schedule
Chris Jericho is going to be working a full-time schedule right now according to F4Wonline.com.

He is working this weekends live event in Tyler, Texas and the live event tour of shows in California the following week. He is expected to continue to work more live events as the weeks goes on and he becomes more involved in his storyline.
Nice.

Update: Chris Jericho's Cryptic Videos & WWE Future

Chris Jericho actually flew to WWE headquarters in Connecticut a while back and met with Vince McMahon to map out his return according to the Wrestling Observer. These meetings were taking place at the same time Jericho was claiming that he would never work with WWE again.

The cryptic videos leading to Jericho's return were WWE's Social Networking Department's idea. Several in the company felt that the campaign as too smart for its own good before they started airing.

During Jericho's unique return at Monday's RAW Supershow, people backstage were noting the similarities to the Dynamic Dudes character that John Laurinaitis played years ago.

Most expect Jericho to begin feuding with WWE Champion CM Punk, leading to a WrestleMania match. There is no word yet on exactly how long Jericho is back for but there was speculation going around that he will be involved in a major program after WrestleMania 28 with a match at SummerSlam.
Some more info.
