#2 Chris Jericho

En
Y2J!

Chris Jericho was one of pro wrestling's hottest commodities in 1999. He was an outstanding wrestler and his microphone skills had turned him into one of the most entertaining acts in WCW.

Following the dissolution of the said company, Jericho chose to debut in dramatic fashion and the premonition of his debut began way before his actual arrival. A clock starting ticking stating the countdown to ‘The New Millennium’ weeks before his arrival.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

When he finally arrived on the August 9 issue of Raw is War, he debuted against one of the most outspoken wrestlers on the planet - The Rock and it was met with resounding success. From that awesome promo, Jericho never looked back and became one of the greatest acquisitions of WWE.

Jericho had been shamefully underused by the WCW and was never given a proper push. Following his arrival in WWE, he transitioned into one of the greatest wrestlers on the planet and fulfilled his mammoth potential.
