Another Superstar who was a vital part of the Attitude Era was Chris Jericho, who moved from WCW to WWE as the opportunities in WCW had dried up for him. Jericho quickly became a hated heel in WWE and had great feuds with the likes of The Rock and Chris Benoit.

But, Vince McMahon was not "sold" on Jericho, according to Jim Ross. The legendary commentator revealed that Vince McMahon had an issue with Jericho's height, which wasn't good enough for him to be on WWE.

"Vince always thought, he was not as sold on Chris as I was. There’s a big part of my book, Under The Black Hat, that we talk about signing Jericho and write about it and the recruiting of it and negotiating with Vince. I had to negotiate with Vince, basically, to get Chris on the radar, because of his f****** height. That was it.”

Ross then also added that McMahon felt that Jericho could not be a WrestleMania main-eventer just because of his height and that Jericho had to wear lifts on his shoes in the early part of his WWE career.
