Chris Jericho's
first appearance on WWF (Raw is Jericho)
What a great
introduction for Jericho. Having him interrupt The Rock was the best
debut I've seen on WWF. I knew Jericho was on WCW and watched him a
few times, but he never got that push over there due to the older
talent stealing the spotlight from the younger talent.
WWF kept having
a vague build up to his introduction by having the jumbo-tron glitch
with a take on the Y2K bug. And, they called him the Y2J as he was a
living glitch himself. And, it all went down on this night.
It is
interesting that he talks badly about WWF in the Attitude Era, but
Jericho's argument is clearly more in tune with the current WWE PG
era. I loved the Attitude Era because of spots like this. It is
brilliant way of introducing a new heel,and sticking it to WCW. I
loved selfish of the talent during this era and that no one was
really a good guy really.
Jericho really
fit into the WWF Attitude Era fairly well I felt. And, this was a
great start. I also enjoyed hearing The Rock dress down Jericho in
his counter response.
Note: It seems
some people in the crowd knew Jericho was coming from WCW to WWF. I
also like that Jericho pretends to hear the crowd cheering for him
instead of The Rock.
