Okay, for the first time in a long time, a wrestling storyline has gotten my attention
If you sat through Raw, you would have a "Matrix" style video with the title of this thread all the way through it.
Theories are abound that this is the tease of the return of Chris Jericho, but another, expanded theory exists

What is the meaning of the cryptic video message “SAVE_US.222” that has been playing on WWE television?
No one knows for sure what the “SAVE_US.222” video is referring too, however, I posted an interesting update here on the site earlier today explaining an idea that was passed through the WWE Creative Team which could help us understand the message a little better. Here is my update: Back in June, before the Benoit tragedy, former WWE creative writer Court Bauer suggested to the rest of the WWE Creative Team a different idea to introduce the new Hart Foundation or the return of Chris Jericho. The idea was to run a viral marketing campaign, something like an updated version of the Y2J countdown clock in which he debuted in WWE with back in 1999. Ideas included setting up web sites developed by third parties, doing things on YouTube, and mystery ads on WWE.com (one example for the Hart Foundation idea was to have a “public service announcement” on heart attacks that would take you to a Calgary-related web site). The underlying idea was to develop an interactive campaign where fans would have to try to “crack the code.” Bauer’s idea was very popular amongst the rest of the creative team until things were turned upside down by the Benoit tragedy. Some of the clues in the SAVE_US.222 video such as the WWE theme music clue and deliberate misdirects with the whole Jericho feel could be an indication that the video has something to do with Y2J’s return to WWE. While nothing has been confirmed, the piece seemed very similar to the initial idea that was thought up this past summer.
Seeing as no new posts or threads have been made here for ever, thoughts?
