According to PWInsider, the general feeling backstage at Raw last night was that everyone was happy with Chris Jericho's return to the company and how it came off on TV. Jericho was described as being happy to be back.

Speaking of Jericho, Shannon Rose sent this in:

New York Times Bestselling author & Pro-Wrestler Chris Jericho book signing at St. Pete’s Times Forum Wednesday, Nov. 21st from 5p -7p

Tampa, FL: November 20th – Wrestling star Chris Jericho will be signing his New York Times bestselling book A LION’S TALE: AROUND THE WORLD IN SPANDEX (Grand Central Publishing Hardcover, $25.99) on the Plaza at the at St. Pete’s Times Forum Wednesday, Nov. 21st from 5p -7p.

Chris has been on a world win book tour throughout the U.S. and Canada. Reviewed by Publisher’s Weekly as “…funny, insightful and compulsively readable autobiography…" A LION’S TALE charts the journey of a kid from Canada with a dream and the determination to see it come true. Chris begins at the Hart Brothers Pro Wrestling Camp and goes on to endure years of struggle and hard work as a wrestling star in Mexico and a wrestling villain in Japan. Jericho then ascends to the World Wrestling Entertainment as the first undisputed heavyweight champion and, ultimately, creates a niche for himself in the internationally renowned World Wrestling Federation.

Y2J recently returned to WWE on Monday Night Raw to Save Us.

Regardless, this is an opportunity for Jericholics to meet the one and only.


John Silva sent this in: Just thought I'd pass along a note about WWE 24/7. I live in New Jersey and I have WWE 24/7. The winning "Pick Your Big One" was supposed to be Survivor Series 1987. I looked today on my 24/7, and instead of Survivor Series 1987, they uploaded Survivor Series 1994 instead! I guess this is proof positive that no matter what the fans vote on, WWE will just do whatever it pleases anyway.

Matt Shannon also sent this in: On WWE.com in the WWE 24/7 section, it is clearly stated that in the Pick Your Big Ones, the 1987 Survivor Series had won. Imagine my surprise and disgust when I go to the Big Ones section and see that instead of the 1987 Survivor Series, the 1994 Survivor Series is airing. Just went to WWE.com again, & now they changed the text to say that Survivor Series 1994 was voted in, even though they still have the picture of Ricky Steamboat up. Something is not on the up & up here. For WWE to say that Survivor Series 1987 had won, only to play the 1994 show then change it on their website after the fact is blatant false advertising. I'm going to have no choice but to cancel my subscription after this month is over if they don't show the 87 show, & I encourage all fans to flood WWE's email boxes about this debacle.
