The Cashbox: Three Reasons Why 1/2/12 Won’t Be Jericho

December 21, 2011

Every clue hidden within the "It Begins" videos for 1.2.12 seems to point to Chris Jericho. I certainly understand why most reasonably minded wrestling fans believe said videos are leading to his WWE return. It's logical.

And that's the very reason I don't think they are for Chris Jericho.

Actually, I have three reasons I feel this way:

1) It's TOO Logical

Vince McMahon and WWE, in general, rarely go with the most logical scenarios. Especially when it involves an angle such as this – a distant payoff and a ton of hype building up to it. Was there a plan in place when this idea was originally thought up? I'm sure there was, but I can only imagine how many times that plan has changed since it began.

Vince will use the person HE wants at the time of the reveal, regardless of who it was supposed to be two months prior. And logic? Screw logic. Vince will spin it however he wants to and wrestling fans will live with it.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
