Disappointment. In a word, it's how many viewers felt after Raw concluded and the only thing newsworthy on the show was yet another DX reunion. Who are they going to run through this time, The Highlanders?

Folks who read the 'Net weren't tuning in for that reunion, but the return of Chris Jericho. Everything seemed to add up into a nice, neat package with a book signing and secret code matching up with October 29 in Philly. Unfortunately, the X_29 code was about as useful as playing Monopoly at McDonald's.

It's funny. We'll get feedback from people who say they want to be surprised. They want to see something unique in a live situation on Raw. They're tired of squash matches on WWE TV. They're tired of going-nowhere segments from Kurt Angle on Impact. Not to say the same people are now complaining about Jericho not returning, but we received plenty of feedback after Raw from people who were upset the surprise return of Jericho didn't happen.

Here's the deal. The code hasn't been broken yet. The series of book signings coinciding with Raw could be a round of red herrings to manipulate folks who are paying attention. WWE wants to have a little fun with the 'Net. They had plenty of fun when one clue didn't materialize on Monday night and hardcore fans expressed untold frustration stemming from the bad taste in their mouths.

But, those fans tuned in. And the ratings went up. Will the viewers come back next week? Some will, some won't, but enough casual fans will show up for Austin and the official one-night-only DX reunion to make up for any pissed off hardcore fans boycotting the show.

Why shouldn't WWE have a little fun with the Jericho return? Readers say they want to be surprised, and here's a golden opportunity. Yes, we were disappointed when Jericho didn't materialize. So we missed the X_29 code. Wait for the next one. After all, WWE doesn't exactly have a slew of surprises or dream matches lined up beyond Jericho's return.

For casual viewers who are paying attention to the videos, but have no idea what's going on, there was a progression on Raw when most of us are focusing on a non-deliverance of a non-promise. There was the oh snap! moment when a second Save_US video aired right before Randy Orton walked out for the main event. The announcers didn't acknowledge either of the two videos this week, but, to casual viewers, the addition of a second clip must mean they're getting serious.

Let Jericho play coy. Let WWE have some fun with the codes. It gets people talking. And if that's how WWE is going to distract hardcore fans from more pressing issues such as Wellness Policy disclosure, wishy-washy doctors, and the health of the company's independent contractors, then WWE has already won this battle.

Wait for the return. It should be worth it once the time is right. Or, as Vince McMahon told William Regal at the end of Raw, things turn out how he wants them on his clock.

The time isn't right for the return. Next week is Austin and DX. After that should be the big hype for Survivor Series. Seeing whether Jericho fits into those plans will be part of the fun the next few weeks.

Let the emotions from a disappointing Raw play out. I'll be the first to raise my hand that I was disappointed. But, remember the old saying that patience is a virtue. And the result should be well worth it.

-- In what could be a sign in the Ric Flair/WWE relationship, he is doing more promotional for WWE and their website, so things appear to be smoothing over between the two parties.

-- Melina recently did an interview with the Lilsboys in the UK where she admitted to watching TNA. Melina said: “I still watch all the wrestling I can – whether it’s TNA, Japanese or Lucha Libre – because that's my art." She says she hopes to do a WrestleMania Women's title match next year since the match at this past WrestleMania got cut short and almost axed due to lack of time.

-- Chavo Guerrero's 60 day suspension has officially ended. Chavo didn't return at last night's SmackDown tapings, however he is expected to return soon.

I think the lack of buzz is due to the fact that everyone knows he is due back at survivor series....i am excited because he works great on the mic and in the ring.....I remeber when he tore up X-Pac in his "character development" promo

Was apart of that in this video?

 

[Sarge 2.0]

I don't care what you guyses say, I'm gonna miss Brooke and her incredible ass.

 

[Warhammer]

Wait, what happened to Brooke?

 

[BlackLantern]

yes it was.....find the whole promo if you can....its fantastic....

 

[Sarge 2.0]

She was released today.

 

[DOG LIPS]

WTF??????????

 

[BlackLantern]

From WWE.com: WWE has come to terms on the release of ECW Diva Brooke as of November 1. We wish Brooke the best in all her future endeavors.

[Warhammer]

Cool. I didn't find anything else, though, but I did find this nice video.
Video took place around my way.

She was released today.

I'm going to miss her fine ass. If they don't get Layla wrestling, her ass will be next.

It's not like anyone ever disagreed with you. In fact, we all were pretty much at peace with the fact that Brooke or Kelly would get released eventually. But those of us who appreciated Brooke's spectacular ass-shaking are still saddened by it.

Mickie has a great ass too, but she's a wrestler and therefore won't really get the opportunity to shake it like Brooke did very often.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Brooke was fine from the neck down, wonder why they released her amid the angle with the Miz and Balls.

 

[BlackLantern]

I'm guessing her release is being coupled with the fact that they are looking to further Kellys involvment in storylines......either her or Layla might get moved to another show....

 

[DX]

She was released today.

I miss Positive Page.

Stephanie McMahon was quite upset when she learned of reports that implied Chris Jericho was the person behind the "save us" campaign, which was hardly a scoop. She went as far as to run all company cell phone records of the writing team, and did a forensic check of the computers for e-mails leaks. This was not the first time WWE conducted such searches. WWE didn't find any guilty parties, but did find excessive private calls, and reamed the writers for it.

It doesn't stop there. Stephanie has also talked about revising contracts to state that writes do not have ownership of any ideas or concepts they come up with while at WWE. She also wants writers to refrain from interviews, and banning them to speak of their time at WWE after they leave the company. Another idea being considered is to insert a one year non-complete clause in future contracts.

Writers were told that they aren't allowed to speak to the media without the company setting it up and Stephanie signing off on it.

I can see Layla being moved to SD and Kelly will probably eventually get moved to Raw.
