  • Man, this is such an epic moment. Y2J debuting against the "classic" Rock. What amazing times we used to have. Moments like these keep us wrestling fans for life.

  • How was Jericho so famous even in his debut?

  • @mryoto123 Because he was known in WCW as well

  • @SyeDGeUp Ohhh right thank you.

  • nobody sold more merchandise than austin 3 :16 !!!! google that shit!!!!!

  • @fotowngoonz GOOGLE IS JERICHO

  • thus Jericho was born

  • I MISS THIS SHIT!

  • How can a heel mid-carder that came from WCW get a huuuuuge pop like that?

    WWF, that's why.

  • Too bad jericho cant talk in his storyline now lol

  • Best wrestling debut of ALLLLL time. Bar none.

  • I hope they don't fuck up his return like they did in 2007. It was the first time I actually got excited about wrestling in a while, and when he came back I got shives, but it was really short lived and got boring fast. I hope he's a heel but one of them heels that you love to hate like he's always been.

  • Best debut ever. I miss pops like these. Wrestling is awful today and no one ever cheers.

  • @jcaudill6921 Because the fans are sleeping because its past their bed time. God I miss these days.

  • Raw is Jericho !!!!

  • Thumbs up if you watched this after seeing Raw last night.

  • I hope he does the same exact thing next week...without saying a word.

  • I think he will stay heel even with this return and this is why he didn't even talked when in the ring, this way he could enjoy a babyface return (even if a bit akward) and next week start trash talk the hell out of the arena. This is better this way, heel jericho is just awesome.

  • his return today was not as good as his debut...

  • @qwerops12345 well of course, people know who he is and all at this point. plus stuff didn't get around as well as it does now cuz internet didn't really shoot off yet.

  • real wrestling fans @ 0:57

  • HES FUCKING BACK HOLY SHIT!

  • YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

  • And what was Nitro showing to combat this? A Chad Brock concert! LOL!

  • is it weird that a had a dream of y2j singing

  • I agree c u monday u rock

  • see u monday

  • @jaznpwnz 3 FUCKING HOURS AWAY!!!!! CANT WAIT!

  • @nightmaredust911 get ready to mark. the fuck. out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHA HES BACK BITCHAZ

  • This first debut was in a word: AWESOME!!

    He could have retired right then and this would still get talked about.

  • third coming January 2, 2012

  • chicago always delivers

  • Y2J > CENA

  • Greatest intro of all time.

    

  • Another great wresling moment in the city of Chicago...

  • january 2nd!

  • jericho standing like a retarded bully = win

  • I have really stopped watching wrestling since the ufc garnered my interest, but I was watching raw when this happened and I was a big fan of jericho in wcw. This is easily the moment I most remember for giving me a huge rush. I'll never forget it. The huge pop for jericho was epic

  • Comment removed

  • @extremesowhat well then your a fag

  • I'm half like omg omg omg this is awesome and half laughing my ass off because of his hair

  • the chills + minor tears.

  • Epic.

  • itbegins1/2/2012?

  • :53 the crowd just fucking erupts when "JERICHO" is flashed

  • maybe the sickest moment in wrestling history..they had been teasing crowds with running clocks for months before this, and nobody knew went it meant..nobody knew that jericho had left wcw at the time...

  • Comment removed

  • thats one good move machoman made only if he recruited the stinger

  • Being a heel didn't work for Chris Jericho that year. Everybody still loved and cheered for him so they had to turn him face. He was face 2000-2002

  • we will hear this thteme at RR 2012!!!! nr. 40!!!!

  • what is te meaning of PG?

  • @dwade314ify Parental Guidance so basically nothing violent or offensive.

  • Royal Rumble 2012 = Y2J Chris Jericho.

  • lol this isnt II Jeriicho II and its weird how hes real name is tucker and the channels name include tucker

  • @TheNEpatriotsrule1 jericho's real name is chris

  • @BlakAttk its a cod thing

  • 0:06 - "This is gonna be awesome... oh wait stay in character" *stops smiling*

  • Hbd chris jericho

  • Happy Birthday, Chris Jericho.

  • Jericho looks so gay with long hair

  • @DivasHQ gay your father idiot

  • Best debut ever

  • In the words of Pauly D, best day of my life!

  • 30 second ad to watch a 90 second video? For shame.

  • best debut ever!! y2j and hhh theme are the best!!

  • Chris Jericho-CM Punk-Everyone else

  • buen video 

  • I wish WWE was like this again and Chris jericho was back in WWE :/

  • Cena made a historic debut in 1999??? Cena was the first undisputed champion in WWE?? cena is the one that has had the Intercontinental Championship more times than anyone else??? cena is an expert in Mexican wrestling, Japanese and American??? john cena never know who is having these achievements! JERICHO BACK AND REAL WRESTLING Show

  • @gabomandela

    Cena is a much bigger star than Jericho and always will be.

  • @1991ltd jojo sorry men but he not can be wrestler, he is only a machine of money, jericho is a real wrestler!!!

  • @1991ltd Hahaha funny joke man. Your jokes are as comical as John Cena's acting career. Funny guy. Haha.

  • @JudasCage

    Laugh all you want man the facts and figures are all there. Cena sells tons more merchandise than Jericho ever has.

    You;d be right in saying Jericho is a better wrestler, and you can hate Cena all you want. But don't be a douche and try and disclaim the fact that Jericho is a bigger star than Cena. Jericho has never been the face of the company, Cena has been and is.

  • @1991ltd Hahaha there you go again. And for your information I don't hate Cena, but the single solitary moment in which you compare Chris Jericho to John Cena is a spit in the face to professional wrestling. Chris Jericho has traveled and competed all over the world and John Cena started in the US and because he's the ''complete package'' he always got the ''perfect'' push. Y2J has worked for everything he has. John is a serious worker, but fact is that genetics were the major factor.

  • @JudasCage

    What the hell man....I'm not disputing any of that! I agree with you about Jericho being a better wrestler and better in general really. But the fact remains that Cena is a bigger star than Jericho! It's a fact...the numbers are there to prove it.

    I like Jericho more than Cena, but I'm not going to be an idiot and pretend Cena isn't the bigger star. The mere fact that Cena is mentioned on every video that has nothing to do with him, including this one. Is proof of that.

  • @1991ltd I like Jericho as well, and I'll always root for him, face or heel.

  • @1991ltd no homo...

  • @JudasCage Actually Cena got his push due to Jericho. Vince hadn't seen anything in Cena at that point, but Jericho asked to put Cena over. And what really got Cena over was his rapping gimmick. Not his genetics.

  • @1991ltd but nothing compare to stone cold and the rock!!!!

  • @1991ltd he aint shit compare to austin and the rock

  • @fotowngoonz

    Well done...not sure why you're telling me that. I'll tell you that myself. But i was arguing the fact he's a bigger star than Jericho...so can't see where that came from.

  • @1991ltd I'm not disputing that Cena isn't a bigger star than Jericho. But is Jericho as far behind as you think? Jericho is a merchandise seller. Hes also a draw. Thats why WWE give him these extravagant entrances. Jericho wasn't a big star at this point in his debut, yet Vince saw something in him to let him debut against The Rock. Also, Jericho's mainstream status isn't bad. DWTS for example and hosting VH1 I think. And his band is growing in popularity.

  • @HarjSinghDF

    I don't think he's light years behind Cena. But Cena is up there behind Hogan and Austin in terms of merchandise sales. Jericho has never been the top guy in the business, Cena is to this generation what Austin and The Rock were to the attitude era and what Hogan was before them.

  • @1991ltd Except Austin, Rock and Hogan were much bigger stars than Cena. Saying that though, Jeff Hardy rivalled Cena's popularity in his final year with WWE, and sold as much if not more merchandise.

  • @HarjSinghDF

    That's not true, Jeff Hardy was popular but came nowhere near Cena in terms of merchandise sales. He sold quite a lot of those arm things though. And yeah, Austin, Rock and Hogan were bigger stars than Cena. But Cena is 3rd behind Austin and Hogan in terms of merchandise sales.

  • the pose at the end is just fn spectacular. lmfao

  • best debut ever

  • Damn I remember seeing it live and just listening to the roar of the crowd there doesn't even compare to seeing it on video. It gave me goosbumps when it happened. To this day i've never heard a louder Pop from a crowd for a wrestler since. Probably the closet i've heard was CM Punk's entrance vs. Cena at MITB.

  • Jericho is not even near The Rock.

  • @KidJohnnyStorm Yeah you are correct. Jericho is so far ahead of him that the "Dwayne" can only dream of being as impressive as Jericho. Jericho was cool. Dwayne is corny.

  • @johnmclane101 Jericho's so annoying, he has no charisma, dont even know why the keeping him there.

  • @KidJohnnyStorm Yes Jericho is not as good as the Rock but he has great Charisma and i cant wait for him to come back. He is one of the reasons why Raw was good.

  • @theguybehindyou6969 lol guys, just at look at him he is like an idiot 1:31 ;p

  • @KidJohnnyStorm WTF what did u say chris jericho is the best man he fucked scsa & the rock in one night

    can u do that ?

  • @zabo78 Yeah.

  • @KidJohnnyStorm what man

  • @zabo78 I can even do these "Walls" of him better than him.

  • @johnmclane101 "Dwane is corny". Nice joke stupid punchline. The rock was complete and utter epic win in 1999 no one talked more trash then he did, whether if he was talking trash about wrestlers, interviewrs, ring annoucers, camera men, roadie agents, he did it all hell name me another wrestler who is capable of cutting promos DURING matches...exactly. Stop riding the philp brooks cult of jealousy. Corny is what you call wwe when they try and mask their pg era with an imaginary "reality era".

  • @marie90 i agree he "was" epic in 99 but he "became" corny. I've had that opinion of him since around 2000. I am not jumping on Phil Brooks bandwagon. I am simply stating my own personal opinion. Look at Rock's promo's from mid 99 or before when he was the corporate champion and then compare to just a few year years later in 2001 and 2002. If u can't accept the fact that i have my own opinion which i am entitied to and have always stood by then there is something fundamentally wrong with you.

  • @johnmclane101 while i'd agree that 2000-2001 rock wasnt all that great compared to his 90's self his 2003 hollywood heel persona was just as good as his late 90's persona.

  • fucking legendary

  • Just listen to that roar...

  • ssss

  • just listen to that pop when his name appeared on the titanron. Amazing

  • This has got to be the best anticipatory, tension-filled debut ever.

  • SAVE US FROM PG AND CENA, Y2J!

  • @mmscott9

    WE WANT ATITTUDE ERA BACKK!!!

    RAW IS JERICHOO!!

  • whats up with the hair.

  • man, i was in college for this... i was so fuckin stoked this moment. still am. i hope his 3 coming is just ass bad ass. wwe sure needs'em.

  • This was the greatest debut of all time, because it was a legitimate shock. Nobody knew who was debuting after the countdown was over because there was no internet fags spoiling everything. Hell, now-a-days if an Impact wrestler comes to WWE, like Kharma, EVERYBODY knows because of all the internet fags spoiling it. Jericho debuting was a legit shock & people marked the fuck out. You little kids wouldn't understand because you've grown up with the internet.

  • Best Entrance Ever!

  • Thumbs up if best debut ever

  • without a shadow of a doubt the BEST build up and deliverance of a debut to date!

  • Comment removed

  • And what did Nitro put on to go up against this? A Chad Brock concert.

  • looks like someone finally shut the Rock up.

  • @MrMoviecritic2011 Not really. Look at the full version. The Rock leaves Jericho speechless at the end.

  • @MrMoviecritic2011 the rock actually ends up clowning jericho in the end with the ky jelly line

  • I LOVE THIS DEBUT

  • john cena royal rumble winning comeback was better... Just kiddin just kiddin FUCK CENA AND FUCK PG UNIVERSE ERA... ATTITUDE 1999 was the shit!!

  • Here is an interesting idea for a a Chris Jericho return.

    They hype up the return for him like they did in late 2007.

    As he is finally returning, the titantron changes from:

    "Break the code" to "Break the streak" - Y2J

    Huge pyro explosion and the crowd goes insane.

  • Bull best debut goldberg in wwe.

  • Comment removed

  • @187ORO true but this is still good they both are awsome but goldberg is a monster

  • @187ORO

    Phil Goldturd's debut was bog standard comparatively.

  • Comment removed

  • That night Raw went from war to Jericho

  • When his name appears at 0:56 and the crowd goes nuts.... Unforgettable.

  • @sirmateo75 Agree 100%. That moment is done so fucking perfectly the way the JERICHO just spins up on to the screen. Unreal debut. Hasn't been a debut done better than this that I can think of.

  • Right when i saw this on tv i was like whoooooooooooo great memories

  • This pop always gives me chills

  • the best debut ever

  • As soon as Jericho appeared on the titantron wcw new they were screwed

  • Chris Jericho will return at Summrslam spread the word

  • Chris Jeriho will return at Summrslam spread the word

  • I know I commented on this last week, but I had to check it out again. Man I miss true wrestling fans like the people in that crowd. Us Attitude Era fans are the best... crowds now-a-days absolutely suck.

  • this still gives me the chills

  • good idea for a game show: Y2J Objective: Try to make chris jericho look bad in the ring. unless ur john cena u cant do it. easy views haha jerichoholic 6 years

  • 12 years today !!

  • This was his WWF debut, idiot.

  • sick flow

  • we need people like jerhico today not john cena

  • Comment removed

  • @TheRCA99 we are not in the "pg era" anymore, it's called "The Reality Era". That's what CM Punk named it, if you think there's been kiddy shit lately you haven't watched the past 2 months of WWE Television.

  • Definitely the best debut of all time... the pop when "JERICHO" came up on the screen was crazy. Not many fans knew Jericho was coming to the WWE... all the internet spoilers & rumors weren't as big as they are now-a-days. Now-a-days, no wrestler could debut in the WWE without some idiotic jackass spoiling it for everybody on the internet. Tazz's debut was a legit shock too... but Jericho still had the best debut of all time.

  • I read in Jericho's book that when he got to WWE and Russo just left for WCW, Russo called Jericho to come back to WCW. I think Jericho should have listened to Russo, Jericho probably would have been in Jeff Jarrett's place as The Chosen One and would have been WCW Champion instead.

  • @WCWImpactWrestling But he did become WCW champion..in WWE...in fact, he was the LAST WCW Champion before it was renamed the World Championship.

  • @drewtucker21 Actually, it got renamed during Rock's reign.

  • @drewtucker21 Well played. He was the last WCW champion and first undisputed WWE champion. :)

  • @drewtucker21 Actually the rock was the last wcw champion as he was wcw champion during SS 2001 and the following night on raw it was renamed to the world championship

  • @WCWImpactWrestling Oh WOW you mean he could have been the chosen one in a dead organization instead of going on to be a legend in the top promotion? Holy shit! You are right! Jericho TOTALLY should have gone back to the same organization that treated him like shit that caused him to leave in the first place!

  • @WCWImpactWrestling Jericho is a 2 time WCW Champion

  • @WCWImpactWrestling Just as well he stayed where he was then, because he would only have been back for 2 years before WCW went bust and he would have been in the ill fated Invasion angle.

  • @WCWImpactWrestling This is completely false. Why would he have any regrets not leaving WCW after the way they treated him? Because he would of been on top for a year or so? He went on to have a great run in WWE and still remains in close contact with them, come on now.

  • @WCWImpactWrestling and undisputed champion?

  • @WCWImpactWrestling doubt it. nash as the booker wasnt letting anyone become bigger than him. he did everything he could to knock out goldberg as the top dog.

  • @WCWImpactWrestling He would have been an idiot if he stayed in WCW. WCW was on it's way to dying. Jericho accomplished so much in the WWE, winning multiple World titles and becoming a top WWE superstar.

  • @WCWImpactWrestling Why would Jericho want to go back to the poorly run WCW? let alone listen to Russo (who many people dislike) and on top of that was bought out by WWE 2 yrs later. If you read his book you would understand that staying there would not have been beneficial for him. Besides he has had an amazing run in WWE (multi-time champion) and is a lock for the HALL of FAME

  • I'm a fan of Jericho, but I always thought he should have stayed in WCW, rather than going to WWE. In WWE, he seemed more held back and not as great as he was in WCW and it shows in his style of promos and matches in WWE. He just had more freedom in WCW to do what he wanted, WWE just controlled everything he did and made him boring,

  • @WCWImpactWrestling

    ARE YOU KIDDING?

    The first guy they set him up against in the WWF was the freaking ROCK.. THE TOP GUY He was fighting lowcarders in the WCW.

  • I've watched this so many times it's ridiculous. I just devoted a whole blog piece to it. I f you wanna check it out google aussiesportsfantom and check out the piece called "Doing wrestling justice."

  • I miss Jericho! 

  • Welcome...to...RAW...IS...JERI­CHOOOOO!

  • god how i miss the attitude era

  • Love how the crowd goes nuts when "JERICHO" appears on the screen.

  • Jericho is my hero and favorite of all time

  • RAW IS JERICHO!!! oh boy do i miss hearing that

  • My first time going to WWF (then) live, before my dad (r.i.p) and i got into the building

    we saw Jericho walking to his expensive white car. He was nice enough to take a photo with me :D i was the happiest 8 yr old at that moment

  • I FREAKIN HATE CHRIS JERICHO!

  • @Hitchhikeroftheyear I HATE YOU TOO

  • @Hitchhikeroftheyear

    Sad bastard

  • Watching this debut made me remember the specific moments in WWF(E) That I just fucking loved, there was no doubt about it. Favorite being Booker T vs Stone Cold in the supermarket. :)

  • The people that hate this video are a bunch has-been, jackass, assclowns!! :)

  • Now Chris Jericho needs to return and win the IC championship and make it worth something!

  • This really started to bury WCW. Here was a guy who was basically a midcarder with them, and yet was instantly upper card material with WWE because they knew how to build a guy up.
