5 WWE Superstars and the reason behind their nicknames

#4. Chris Jericho - Y2J

Do all of you remember 18 years ago when the new millennium was right around the corner? Everyone was excited to move into the year 2000 and Chris Jericho used the opportunity to coin a new nickname for himself as he prepared for his WWE debut.

Taking advantage of the Y2K craze of the time, Jericho called himself Y2J when he jumped ship from WCW to Vince McMahon's promotion. It was an ingenious move to take advantage of a cultural phenomenon and the fact that he is still called Y2J today just proves what a great decision this was.
