Classic pre WWE Chris Jericho

[Pooledogg]

Man, the buckle of my belt is bigger than the TV championship

[postmasterw00t]

@Pooledogg must be a big buckle

[glizitchesforbizitch]

even flow!

[outoftheblueize]

@glizitchesforbizitch such a good theme for jericho back in the day.

[SeanDaRyan]

HOW DO I GET ONE OF THOSE MONDAY NIGHT JERICHO SHIRTS??!!?

[thatonedude675]

Everytime I hear Jericho's WCW entrance music, I just keep waiting for "EVEN FLOOOOW"

[undisputed4life]

From Calgary?

He's from winnipep yo-...

Ah shit, somebody beat me to it. :(

[LeaderOfTheFlock]

Jericho just shouted me out @ 03:03

[KryptonDaVillain]

@LeaderOfTheFlock LOL.

[0verdrive177]

the look on his face @ 49 is priceless

[fireheartis1]

Man Chris has always had the craziest hairstyles I've ever seen. It's funny because he always makes them work for him.

[juiceonroids]

What a hair-doo BAYBEH!

[irage101]

Calgary, Alberta? He's from winnipeg you idiot!

[sethious1]

didn't realize Chris Jericho had such an awesome theme song back in the day haha

[Giles147]

Scheduled in a Un-Scheduled match

[MattTY2J]

"From Calgary, Alberta, Canada... I'M FROM WINNIPEG YOU IDIOT!!!"

[billypopali]

love they announce him as leader of the jerichoholics



[brittandmike28]

And this was the unique stuff that WCW would do from time to time cuz it wasn't planned and just thrown together....Heel vs Heel...Ok Jericho tonight your wrestling Raven...

[bigjew899]

These three minutes were better than the last three years of WWE!

[coolhanddean]

i think i remember this match, this was a good one

[ifyouseekay1000]

Funny both of them started in ecw

[TheARobb21]

@ifyouseekay1000 Actually Raven started in WCW as Scotty Flamingo in 1992. He went through the WWE as Johnny Polo after that and THEN got to ECW in '95.

[Legend89Killer]

I forgot about the good days of Raven.

[EzMoneyBoy464]

Damn WCW Theme Music For All Their Superstars Sucked.. (Except The NWO & Goldberg).

[sgtraytango]

@EzMoneyBoy464 even though WCW used a lot of generic themes, I still think their wrestlers had the best theme songs, from Buff Bagwell to Macho Man's 1999 theme (What Up Mach?) to Raven, Jericho, Goldberg, nWo (both groups), Kronik, Malenko, Bischoff

Hogan's "American Made" theme >>>>>>>> "Real American" any day of the week

[EzMoneyBoy464]

@sgtraytango Macho & Buff Daddy's themes were okay. But Better Than WWF not even close.. From HBK's iconic Sexy Boy theme, To D-Generation-X's Break It Down, Austin's memorable Glass Shattering entrance, to classic Rocky's Do You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking?, Undertaker's chimes & purple lights, & Kane's piano riff with pyro made every entrance magical..

[sgtraytango]

@EzMoneyBoy464 agree to disagree then man, only theme you listed that I ever liked was Kane's original organ sounding theme when he first debuted and boy did I despise DX (shameless nWo ripoffs) and I honestly never understood what was so special about HBK as a wrestler either so...

Just pointing out how people can have such huge differences in opinion. If you like the WWE themes then cool but me personally, WCW had the best wrestlers, theme songs, matches and feuds

[EzMoneyBoy464]

@sgtraytango Like you said, Everyone has their own personal opinion. As for HBK, He was the TOP wrestler in any company from 96-98 (when he got hurt). He was in main event matches in every WWF PPV during those years. His charisma far outweighed nearly the whole WCW roster. The only wrestler who had more charisma than HBK was Hogan & Flair.

[EzMoneyBoy464]

@sgtraytango As for the nWo knock off.. Both factions were started by members of "The Kliq" (HBK,HHH,Hall,Nash,& X-Pac). Both factions were similiar because the members of The Kliq had identical personalities.

[EzMoneyBoy464]

@sgtraytango As for the nWo knock off.. Both factions were started by members of "The Kliq" (HBK,HHH,Hall,Nash,& X-Pac). Both factions were similiar because the members of The Kliq had identical personalities.

[ArtofDestiny]

Lol WCW always had some interesting stages for their pay per views

[onemandynasty08]

OMG...Its Johnny Polo...lol

[onemandynasty08]

Evenflow???????



[yorkiethebaby]

i prefer wcw jericho to wwf/e jericho... just sayin...

[alexangel3030]

Raven = best promo's

[Bucsfan818]

woahhhhhhh hold on.

how can u be scheduled in an unscheduled match. thats like waking up dead or even turning up missing

[gazz12345a]

Thumbs up if you think Jerichos WCW theme music suits him better.

[sgtraytango]

@gazz12345a i would but there doesn't appear to be a thumbs up button on this video's comments strangely

Jericho was much better in WCW, his look, his gimmick, his theme music, the Liontamer, he got to do a lot of the high flying that made him famous in Mexico and Japan as well as the technical ability that had the ECW fans loving him and I miss his column in WCW Magazine

[WazzTheSecond]

Classic Jericho! Just awesome! I love how he didn't let the whole situation be about Raven, instead he makes it all about him! Good work.

[derdo916619]

anyone think raven looks exactly like jeff not now but then

[syxx573]

some of my fondest memories of the wcw have to do with chris jerricho's character

[SebastianNebula]

That's so Raven...

[DemonKingMMA]

@SebastianNebula Ravens of Raverly Place

[TheoHuxtable07]

@SebastianNebula lol

[poobumbutt]

"You loser!"

[ToM2CoOL]

jericho - the best.

[SaintsRow2OwnsGTA4]

the lone dislike.. must of been because raven lost this match.. quoth the raven, never more.,

[VirtuaCory]

@SaintsRow2OwnsGTA4

Love your username...Saints Row 2 rocks.

[Tgunn0838]

WCW killed itself by playing the old guys card every freaking Monday Night, they lost all their good talent because of the egos who controlled the matches, right here is seeing the potential of Jericho on the Mic and his fan base as by the cheers, Monday Night Jericho.

[Hartebreaker84]

@Tgunn0838 people forget this was a bigger crowd than wwe got at the time! that's how good y2j was

[Tgunn0838]

@Hartebreaker84 WCW was a bigger deal than WWF, but WCW hired great talent, but didn't want that talent to grow for some reason, I guess the old guard still had to stroke their egos back then, actually they are still stroking their egos today-Hogan, Flair- but WWF rebound with austin, the rock, HHH and Kurt Angle, young talent, fans were energized by the change.

[Hartebreaker84]

@Tgunn0838 Yeah absolutely!! you catch what I mean why Y2J was never pushed when he got bigger reactions than most of the has beens! lol

[hello11197]

@Hartebreaker84 People also forget that WCW used to give out free tickets so it can look like they filled up the arena.

[Hartebreaker84]

@hello11197 Yeah?? Ok that's a separate point to be honest but I respect what your saying!! My point is the crowd is bigger FACT and Jericho was getting huge pops for a mid carder so why the hell wasn't he getting pushed for US title then and eventually World title that's the mistake of the company once known as WCW!

[SebastianSlasherMP]

I didn't realize until now but watching this video I think WCW was trying to turn Jericho face... Captain Obvious?

[WWFinurhouse]

is the announcer of WCW is the announcer of TNA??

[SebastianSlasherMP]

@WWFinurhouse

If you mean Mike Tenay, then yeah he was with WCW back in those days and does commentary for TNA these days.

[WWFinurhouse]

@SebastianSlasherMP i really admire this guys, not going to wwe..especially sting!

[SaintsRow2OwnsGTA4]

@WWFinurhouse yes mike tenay

[joepescifromcasino]

Ok the guy with the green shirt @ 1:07 i think that guy has been to every WCW event ever he's always there

[krazygreen]

Pause exactly at :18 seconds, you see a guy running in the back while Jericho is making his entrance

[Hartebreaker84]

This is a man WWE should have taken he was better off in ECW only he wouldn't have been paid as much! Should have won the World Title!

[Hartebreaker84]

This is a man WWE should have taken he was better off in ECW only he wouldn't have been paid as much!

[TheKogunEnjou]

That face at 0:47 is frigging hilarious.

[Epitomeofextreme]

1:44 ... how do you get scheduled in an unscheduled match. Raven blooper.

[Mkdude27]

Even flowwwwwww

[zdevlin88]

lmao 3:20 deff classic jericho

[krazygreen]

Great promo by Raven and Jericho. Good chemistry here.

[hitmanhart670]

Jericho had potential to get over big time inWCW and they fucked it up

[telfordmc09]

jericho had the full package,great wrestler,great entrance music, and his promos were irritating,camp, and funny at the same time.

[lilprincekilla]

i remember once jericho beat raven when they fought. once the lion tamer was locked in, raven tapped quickly.  not sure if this is the same match but if it isn't, i think that'd be the reason raven didn't wanna fight jericho-again. that lion tamer's no joke

[DeadJ0ker27]

God I wish i could go back in time.

[grindcore19283746]

haahahahahahaha raven was such an emo fuck

[datcheeseyguy]

"he has to do this on the fly, thats the rule of thumb around here" lol that was how wcw actually worked

[ramennoodlechef]

his mic skills was equally as great as his wrestling.

[SebastianSlasherMP]

Never realized before, but with the cult following Jericho was having with this awesome character and him facing Raven (A Heel) was WCW trying to make Jericho a face before he left for WWF?

[24KJimmyKarryt]

Love how jericho came out to Even Flow by Pearl Jam.

[wwekane2468]

@24KJimmyKarryt It was actually a nock off version.

[marie90]

raven had come as you are

[WrazzlinMachine]

sexy

[CRooster3]

This video makes me want to hook up my N64 and play WCW/NWO Revenge!

[jspees88]

Why was Jericho announced as the "self-proclaimed'' leader of the Jerichoholics? Who else would be the leader of the Jerichoholics?

[grindcore19283746]

@jspees88 good point

[angeltosome]

I love how Raven always sat down in the corner. Simple, but memorable.

[MrSocko1295]

Two of the greatest personalities in wrestling history....FUCKING RAVEN AND CHRIS JERICHO

[evilmidget]

good 'ol thunder.

[briangavemeherpes]

Jericho is hands down the best on the mic

[Whyisthisthat]

@briangavemeherpes What About Raven? The Rock OR Mick FoLEY

[briangavemeherpes]

@Whyisthisthat I respect your opinions. However, when i watched,Raven lacked the same charisma. He was dry and annoying. The same for the Rock, he did the same routine, ad nauseum. Every line the same scripted droll from last week. Sure he got a crowd excited, but it I am talking mic skills...

Raven at least could ad lib.. the rock was reiterating the same lines to death.

Mick Foley Ill give you is good. Not great but good as in engaging

[neomysterio]

@briangavemeherpes The rock awlays had funny new material. He was great in his last heel run.

[briangavemeherpes]

@neomysterio i respectfully disagree. the rock n sock connection was mildly amusing but after that, eh. to each his own

[bearinthebigbluehaus]

Wow, whoever decided to make the whiniest characters in WCW at the time and put them in a promo together, brilliant xD

[thypettingzoo]

JERICHOHOLIC!!!!!!!!!!

[33BryXRaven123456]

The greatest era and time to be watching wrestling and they were kicking the WWF/E's ass

[ramostarr]

but nonethe less there just as good :)

[BrandonTheBeast83]

Heel ve heel here

[mrmadry]

@BrandonTheBeast83 I think Jericho was a face at this point.

[ssjcajas]

@mrmadry no Jericho was heel. Jericho hadnt been face in WcW in a long ass time.

[krazygreen]

Quote the Raven, never more.

[ChuckZombie]

Also Raven's music was a rip-off of "Come As You Are"

[gnetikjakhammer]

yeah, they also had a thing for kicking the SHIT outta wwf at this time.

[Rvd420WHAT]

Raven = the most OVER RATED wrestler EVER

[jlf1286]

well, he wasn't really as known for his wrestling ability as was his ability for storytelling and promos. but he was never as good anywhere other than ECW.

[Ahtahs]

@Rvd420WHAT

You have no idea what you're talking about, so shut the fuck up.

[Rvd420WHAT]

Youre right.....Im wrong..Raven is not over rated.

People actually have to think that you are really good first in order to be over rated. Raven MARK!!!

[MichaelGareth2008]

@Rvd420WHAT actually john cena and hogan are

[WhiteKnight402]

Snickers... ffs

[GodsBrothers]

haha best era of Jericho

[Kiryutka22]

he was great! ! !

[ermonski]

0:14

Snickers logo FTW

[CanadianRock2]

What was that?. Jericho is from Manitoba Canada. Not from Calgary, Alberta.

[nakatasnoodles]

"Scheduled, in a unscheduled match" Only Raven could say something so dumb, and still it sounds soooo good!!!

[lettersfromaboy]

@nakatasnoodles You just heard two of the greatest ever to be on the mic. They are totally different, but are both greats of the mic.

[whattheheckification]

WCW had some cool stages

[5alpha]

considering wcw i think raven's promo was a shoot

[mrCLICKman]

0:21

HIS PENIS IS THISSSSSSSS BIG

[lilmissrocky06]

Ugh, I miss WCW.

[Firebreather01]

Even thoiugh Jericho seems to be a face here, imo, he's a better heel. When he's the bad guy, you HAVE to love to hate him

[NigelMcGuinnessMark]

The same could be said for Ric Flair.

[MrColtini]

Jericho>Raven

[darilyn92]

LMAO YOU LOSER!

[cultofpersonality123]

u mean the cena fans are parasites and hypocrites.

[doomchill]

raven sounded young!

[jww112093]

Well at this time, he was only in his early thirties

[jewmaxin1984]

jericho was in mid 20s during this point

[jww112093]

Not Jericho, Raven.

[kingperry14]

"What about me? What about Raven?"

[jovey15794]

Jericho isn't from Calgary, he's from winnipeg......

[PatVanHalen5150]

Technically he's from Long Island, NY. His father played hockey for the New York Islanders.

[jovey15794]

He was born in New York.....but that doesn't make him a New Yorker...

[angelusgabrielus1982]

New York Rangers

[AwesomeChay]

Chris Jericho = Rock and Roll

[RazaZainProductions]

Jericho deserved so much more..Even at mid card level he had his followers who followed him into WWE.

He's the living legend..

[y2jfanlill]

Yummy Chris looks sexy in those tights.But I love his shorts now' because I can see more skin. Jericho has a real sexy body.

[ProfessorHobo]

Bobby Heenan was hilarious in this!

[KoRnYwAyZ]

Gotta love the 90s, sure as hell kicks this decades ass 100 time over.

[NeverwinterKnight77]

So very true.

[smallbrownghost]

for sure. the mid to late 90's are the best era of wrestling in my opinion. you had ecw kicking all the asses, this amazing wcw run for jericho, austin's amazing run in 97 and 98, ddp's 97-98 run, and so many more. for the past 3 years around wrestlemania i try to get back into wrestling but can't because they have idiots like cena. batista, and randy orton running the company. at least they're putting out dvds so we can see the 90's in all its glory again. or agaaaaane as jericho would say

[fonominalone]

Raven is a god on the mic

jericho as well

love both these guys

[moraisvendeta]

i really really miss that jericho i used to be a big fan!!! now i totally hate him!!

[asyrawwr]

wow. im still his fan even as heel. he's awesome.

[IsThisNameGone]

I love Chris Jericho, he's such a legend.

[ssjcajas]

this was a really good match

[nwoder]

What about Raisin?

[fhb3isback]

Oh yeah! Raisin's back!

[philhowell1986]

The Real Jericho! (: *****
