On his podcast, Jim Ross said that Chris Jericho was supposed to be in the 4-Way main event at WrestleMania 2000, but Vince McMahon replaced him with Mick Foley, because he thought that Jericho was too short.
It is surprising that Vince McMahon did not give Y2J an opportunity to main event the Grandest Stage Of Them All. Even so, Chris Jericho managed to make a major name for himself in WWE and went on to win the World Championship on multiple occasions.
