Chris Jericho's WWE Debut is the greatest debut in wrestling history!

He went from being the priest to being a Judas in his mind

Those are 2 of my favorite entrance songs of all time. The WWF one definitely added an extra layer to his debut

I miss young athletic Brock... his debut was great

He should bring back the triple powerbomb and the GOAT Clothesline from hell

I didn't even know who Jericho was. I was like 9 and just figured he must be a big deal. Lol

I thought everybody switched back and forth at least some.

Anyway Jericho’s ring work and mic work particularly as a heel in WCW was top notch. He started that bragging about all his fans (jerichoholics) while being a hated heel shtick before The Rock did. He would just freestyle his promos and they would let him and he was funny as fukk, and was getting all types of heat and crowd reactions, but WCW wouldn’t let him compete higher than cruiserweight/TV title level.

I was pleasantly surprised to see they gave him a debut that spectacular being that he was a midcard guy in WCW. I always thought he was dope and being held back in WCW, as he was often the most interesting thing on Nitro. Judging by the crowd pop a lot of people felt the same.

I remember WCW tried to counter by having Hulk Hogan go back to the red and yellow.

I marked out

But yeah Jericho debuting big and never really falling off for 21 years later is impressive

Damn was this after NWO?

Don't remember this. Guess it was after I stopped watching WCW

I didn’t think it was a big deal at the time cause he was never a lead guy at WCW. I was shocked the crowd was going crazy for a mid level guy

Jericho leaving was a big deal for months in advanced. I think Jericho leaving started in January of 99, maybe even late 98. He was one of those guys that everyone knew was being woefully misused. It wasn't like Rusev or Sandow where it was kind of mixed on how fans viewed their ceiling. Everyone knew Jericho was a huge star waiting to bust out and he was being misused because of politics.

And now hes turned into what made him leave WCW
