Page 2 - WWE Rumor Roundup: Brock Lesnar set to feud with Powerhouse 2-time IC Champion, McMahon removed Top Superstar from major main event for being too short

#4 Vince McMahon removed Chris Jericho from WrestleMania main-event

It is a known fact that Vince McMahon prefers his Superstar to be tall and bulky. While there have always been exceptions to the rule that only bigger guys can be main-eventers such as Shawn Michaels, Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho, these Superstars have had to struggle more for their success.

As per a recent report by Jim Ross, Chris Jericho was initially set to be part of the WrestleMania 2000 main-event, but was later replaced by Mick Foley as Vince McMahon thought Jericho was too short. Here is what Cagesideseats stated:

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.
