Y2J DEBUT

[DannyMcPhils]

I remember this....when WWE wasn't shit

[NateAiyach]

Is Cooking... *crowd cheers*

[bmoreravens12]

He debuted interrupting The Rock, returned in 07 interrupting Randy Orton. He should had interrupted CM Punk when he returned this year!

[MegaCoffebean]

7:55

[12stormtrooper]

Remember watching this live.EPIC!

[ghostflyable23]

On August 9,1999, RAW became Jericho

[AdamnWrecka]

This is classic

[adpolo]

y2j

[TheDelusionalJester]

I loved the Jericho and Rock rivalry. Some of the most comical promos ever came out of it.

[rockfans1]

lol the rock is wearing panties

[thomase316]

:O HE SPOKE

[PSXTonyTone]

That face at 1:42

[GeorgeLRockwell87]

Jericho and the Rock were awesome on the mic. I'd be embarrassed to be there now, but I would have loved to have gone to a live event during this era.

[BillToady]

The pop at 1:34 is so huge. Amazing stuff.

[MrSmooth62]

Rock: Where do you come from?

Y2J: I'm from winnipeg you idiot-

Rock: It doesnt matter where you come from!!!

[slmnsulaimon]

He looks like Alfalfa with that one strand popping up on his head.

[mehmood248]

:troll:

[FireMarshallBilll]

Y2J and The Rock.

Greatest Mic Workers in the business.

[mg86ta1]

6:46 .. your welcome.

[daveintheclouds]

probably the best mic worker i can remember.

[flyinbrian2011]

thumbs up if you kept on replaying for the crowds reaction at 1:34

[viahoal]

Miss this era so bad

[triandasl]

LOL Rocks face looks like he just smelled a shit when Y2J walked out.

[mortalalien]

So Jericho was warning us of the PG ERA?

[diasslo]

Jericho was already known in that era, I'm proud real fans

[MrBigShot123456789]

1:35 real wrestling fans

[nwiyouth1993]

@MrBigShot123456789 to right mate

[UchihaItachi1986]

Y2J basically described the current state of the WWE

[ttluvslita13]

he looked like he was about to cry when he said its my show to the rock when he first starts talking lol

[thevein2010]

go jericho go!

[PopR1ne]

check ur big fat ass directly into the smackdown hotel!..lmao

[jrb4989]

i wanna party with y2j on nye

[ilovebaseball805]

I MISS THIS JERICHO.</3

[APro20]

Y2J's speech here would totally make more sense for WWE's product today.

[gengarjetty]

@APro20

that's what I was thinking too. wwe really needs a revamp..

[gengarjetty]

lol they didn't censor federation.

[Gogeta5SSJ]

@gengarjetty they don't have to censor the federation only the logo needs to be censored and whenever they say WWF...

[ohwhatamasterpiece]

wow jericho took forever to TRY and entertain.... i assume at this point the Rock was a heel and he STILL easily took the crowd with, as the Miz ( my fav wretsler said) his 45 catchprhases destroyed.. this NEW .... Y 2 J

[tolibester]

@ohwhatamasterpiece No, Jericho was the heel at this point, Rock was face.

[Entrycut]

@ohwhatamasterpiece The Rock was obviously a face there because he was talking about whooping big shows ass infront of all of The Rocks fans

[ohwhatamasterpiece]

@Entrycut i was unsure cuz jericho made his debut so i thought he was face here... iunno but watching it a second time it does see obvious the rock is a face

[DX3666]

I love Jericho but ... WTF is this haircut ! O_o

[thepowerKRAZE]

I wish he could've kept "WHAT'S MY NAME BITCH" in the intro instead of "yeah, you know i gotcha, yeah".

[jbm62370]

one of the best wrestlers ! it's super to see him again. Nowadays, we have no more like him ! 

[richardrockstar14]

go jericho go!!!!

[mcrencpt]

King: You know what that is

JR: yeah lol

[1991krob]

he always got to wear some bright ass clothing when he makes an epic entrance doesnt he

[Jslp1234]

@1991krob and yetits the same type of top he used in both is return in 2007 and 2012

[1991krob]

@Jslp1234 yeah but i thought it was a cool jacket last night

[WWEFaNOFKANE1997]

He's Baaaaaaack!

[TheUltimateDT]

RAW IS JERICHO

[ilySpanky]

I find it funny how he's wearing a sparkly silver shirt here and he's wearing a similar sparkly silver vest in his '07 return. :)

[ghostflyable23]

where they chanting *asshole* before they said *go jericho go*

[04h239]

its begins tomorrrow night!

[stratikeo]

Jericho's experience as a singer has obviously contributed to his mic skills. I mean, it's basically like being a rockstar... except you wrestle.

[ghostflyable23]

lol Rock's pose at 8:17

[Prodigyx3000]

that was the coolest debut of all time straight up

[Arkipelago2]

1:24 repeat it over and over.

[masterbrice]

SAVE US FROM BOREDOM Y2J

[BrDaKa]

y2j_save_us

[IAmFiiCTiON]

3:33 ..Mhmm.. that's how you spell it!

[AJSTYLES3100]

the very best era in the WWE !!!! JERICHO WILL RETURN AND HE WILL KICK EVERYBODIES FAT ASS :)

[80sHillValleyKidBTTF]

The most stupid censor in 1:58 look at the WWF Logo behind him the W is censored and the F isn't WTF....

[marcowowo]

Chicago,a true wrestling city with history like this.Excited for Monday,and Extreme rules come April.

[80sHillValleyKidBTTF]

@marcowowo Ya Chicago.... In 2005 when Cena created the spinner WWE he was cheered. Then in 2006 at Wrestlemania he was booed. Then in 2011 against Punk He is booed again. Then last Monday Night Raw still Booed. Ahhhhh city of Chicago so awesome!!!

[tarikjames13]

@80sHillValleyKidBTTF he got booed in chicago the week before wm 27

[ChuckLonewolf]

From the Future

[Zer0Fallen]

Funny, he did step into the arena and break the walls down.

[TheGuilttrip]

gotta be best moment in jerichos career! hoping the pop is just as big in 2012!!

[TraumaER]

People never appreciated Y2J until he left and saw how untalented the rest of the roster was and is.

[bambebom]

@TraumaER and i think that is why ALLLLLL The world was wishing that the mystery man be chris jericho

[JazzyJames019]

What is this from a movie/documentary? If so whats the name of it?

[ParkLaneTottenham1]

Best.Debut.Ever. He was just as good on mic as the Rock imo. Far more original with his insults anyway JUNIOR.

[ZDAWGGG]

First The Rock, Then Randy Orton, Now it's CM Punk who he will come for.

[ZDAWGGG]

LOL I love how he says the ratings are going down, and then the fact shows up on the screen

[XxRAUMxX]

(Y)ear 2012

(2)nd of

(J)anuary

[OrlandoBanks]

Raw is Jericho

[TheDarrellDean316]

01/02/2012!!!



[JazzyJames019]

@TheDarrellDean316

Whats suppose to happen on that date?

[hockeymick3]

if that was in august how was it the millenium countdown?

[SageNemesis]

@hockeymick3 It wasn't the millenium countdown, it was the Y2J countdown. They just got the idea from Y2K.

[hockeymick3]

@SageNemesis oh i see

[BloodStevei]

1:34 The arena explodes! :O

[wetback626]

Jericho needs to go back to this gimmick!!! RAW IS JERICHO!!!! his music and his titantron were way better back then this save.us shit sucked..

[NefariousNarcissist7]

@wetback626 Dude,his old for this.Obviously

[sayanroy36]

@wetback626

yeah right. when he's 41 years old

[wetback626]

@sayanroy36 hogan and flair still wrestled way past their 40s -__-

[sayanroy36]

@wetback626

yeah, and look how they are ridiculed for that. but anyways, its not about wrestling ..jericho still has at least a couple years left in him. im talking about the gimmick. its gonna look stupid if a 42 year old man was doing this

[quatrobeinte420]

@ Rvd744 totally agree with you WWE needs a New Hero And New Writers

[brockhit]

rock killed jericho debut

[Darkstar2520]

holy shit now thats a fucking POP

[shiringham]

The rock was pumped

[sayanroy36]

only way more talented.....

[KaneAnyt]

Jericho was the original CM Punk both on-show and backstage

[benjlac86]

@KaneAnyt I think CM Punk is way more like Rowdy Roddy Piper than Y2J

[Mikeraske]

I remember watching this when i was about 7. My brother and i were so disappointed when we found out it was Chris Jericho. We were like "wtf, the lion tamer guy from wcw?" hahaha

[madsylver]

@Mikeraske Guess you and your bro were the only 2 people that didn't like the video. I was'nt disappointed.

[Mikeraske]

@madsylver Haha nope. I became a Chris Jericho fan afterward.

[rvd744]

jericho basicaly explained what wwe is now!

[davismjUAB]

Too bad Y2J had to debut in front of the greatest WWF superstar of all time. The Rock makes him look like an idiot in about fifteen seconds. How dare that little jabroni come on the people's show.

[soupkiwi]

y2j come back and kick alberto del rio ass

[ChrisJerichoIsHot]

the best moments in the WWE are in Chicago

1. Austin vs Bret WM 14, where Austin passed out and made himself a star.

2. Y2J Debut

3. CM Punk winning the WWE championship

[ryu2cammy]

@ChrisJerichoIsHot it was wm 13 when it was Austin vs Bret.

[andasin]

king-"u kno what that is JR?"

JR-"yarhh"

lolll jim rosss is a plaayaaaa

[Sasfoot]

I remember watching this with my brother as it happened. We went absolutely ape shit when we saw JERICHO on the Titantron. As hardcore ECW fans, seeing him get this treatment for his debut was awesome.

[Rayla840]

I woulda loved to have seen Bitchoff's face during this segment!!!!. Unforgettable moment!!!!

[Maximum007]

Back when the arena was filled with 95% true wrestling marks.

[DWiens421]

It's amazing how WWE transformed the WCW version of Jericho (a guy whose main talent was finding loopholes in the rulebook) into the badass that we knew as Y2J. A debut like none I've ever seen before.

[schooltrashers]

@DWiens421

Of course. WWE is better at making stars better than WCW.

[shitineversaid]

Jericho was something like a prophet lol

[Thejeditusken2]

it's already been 12 years since the countdown

[Sasfoot]

This was fuckin' awesome. After all the years of WCW keeping him as a mid-carder, the WWF finally gave him the push that ECW fans knew he deserved.

[MrEdog1234]

I miss Y2J andd thee Countdown. . . . /:

[Meth90wu]

You talk about your Y2J plan, well the Rock has a plan of his own its called the K Y Jelly plan

The Rock is the greatest on the mic, no one comes close.

[clayjf]

@Meth90wu

Except Jericho is better on the mic.

[Mindux518]

@clayjf lol yes y2j is god, one of the best, but lol rock is BEST ever on mic and thats the bottim line. cause scsa said so.

[abolacadernos]

Y2J's speech here would be perfect for WWE now. All the things he said perfectly match what the WWE is now, pure PG garbage. BTW if he ever makes this speech again then put John Cena in the ring because unlike what he said to the peoples champ everything else was the truth about Cena

[kmcook01]

This was the best ever, not because it was simply Jericho, but because, it was a BIG name leaving WCW for the WWF, which at this time was unheard of, it was ALWAYS the other way around. The MASSIVE pop is because the live crowd respected Chris as a performer, not solely based on his name :0)

[hosamb]

save us y2j

[AJROCKZ123]

I hope he grows his hair out again before he comes back! 3RD C0:00MING!

[icelynx360]

@AJROCKZ123 I wish too but that won't happen.. :P

[09polars]

The fact he debuted with The Rock MADE this moment. IF Y2J had done this with someone like The Headbangers, Val Venis, or even an Al Snow, this moment wouldn't have been this great.

[ATCRyderX]

This never gets old. Man I miss Real WWF!

[TheStoneDX]

Excellent quality , Bad Sound

[Traynor921]

Excellent quality. 

[syxx573]

back when wwf could take a talented mid carder who made his name on his own merit and turn him into a star

[plomoazul]

IIIIIIIIISSS COOKING!!!!

[Giddyland]

Love jericho Lol

[bossmandadon4life]

lol jericho rocks

[RANDOMFLOWZ]

the rock is the man..............

[teambringit95]

OHH WOWW, the videoo endedd b4 the rock cud finish his catchphrase!!!

[marblehillpjs]

lol the great one's voice squeaked

[reefinit]

why didnt they capitalize on this feud right after his debut instead we had to wait almost a year

[mcarter13647]

the rock needed some pants

[666Horns]

I love seeing the Rock get upstaged even if it's just for few seconds LOL

[Sasfoot]

I remember watching this for weeks and wondering what was going to happen. My brother and I nearly flipped our lids when we saw JERICHO on the Titantron.

[jimbob83100]

Is it sad that in the first five minutesa Jericho just summed up wwe today?

[USPSAman]

greattest debut ever. I mean the Y2J theme is just brilliant. Wonder how he comes up with this stuff.Jerichoholic for life!!

[thejessica19931]

the hair is always funny at this time

[aspectra]

The thing I remember most about this time is that they mistimed the clock to coincide with the program. It was scheduled to go off around 7:15 PST, and ended up happening around 7:35.

[kwstas1993wrestle]

hhh

[JuStevens6]

He'll be back again

[ThaMysteryMask]

best days ever!! wrestling now a days is just blah..

[metamofia]

hell... wwe is jericho!

[icharlie1890]

LOL

Jerry Lawler: You know what that is JR?

Jim: Yeah.

Jerry Lawler: You do?

[metamofia]

His 2nd coming was shit

[ddman481]

it would be perfect timing if he were to give this speech today

[MakeYourLifeWork]

Its funny. As hard as The Rock tries to have one over that faggot Cena, cENA ALWAYS CLOWNS THE rOCK SOMEHOW in the end AND LEAVES THE rOCK Butthurt in the middle of the ring, hahaha. His facial expressions say it all! hahahahaa

[MakeYourLifeWork]

Piece of shit ROCK.. Instead of building Jericho he tries and BURY HIM in his debut, I cant stand that motherfucker, Im glad that faggot Cena owned his ass.

[IR305]

@MakeYourLifeWork kiss my ass. Cena sucks.

[moh490234890238490]

@MakeYourLifeWork Cena didnt own anybody. The Rock just helped elevate him, there's no reason to Bury Cena and of course he wouldn't help build Jericho evryone's fighting for the top spot.

[moh490234890238490]

@MakeYourLifeWork Besides him and Rock where Tag champs if you remember. I'd call that building Jericho up.

[STDxDyselxicLube]

Poor Jericho still thinks he is in WCW.

[MrConsiglerie]

y2j was before his time...if he made this speech noow wwe would sooo much better

[chrisAKAchig]

Y2J was an asshole but he was one of the essential figures in the Attitude era. Got a massively oversized ego but that's what makes him cool, still a fan of his even if I hate him.

[dimastoj]

the rock disliked this video lol

[supajb]

once again wwe needs someone like the old jericho to come along

[akbars12]

this greatest moment of wwf & wcw war games

[MrVENGAA]

chris jericho got shame by the rock in the last 3min

P.S. FUCK JOHN CENA

[rageahollic33]

@MrVENGAA ok i aint bashing but cena is cool but his super cena always main event mania character sucks maybe if has more moves like 15 and has like aheel dont give a fuck what peple say attitude then he would br awesome. so iam saying is fuck super gimmick give him a new one.

[KratosBoika]

this is too great man, how i miss these days

[niltash4ever]

JERICHO IS EXCELLENCE.

[pazea8]

I wish Chris were the owner of WWE

[bunkhouse]

I have to agree this was the best debut ever for the WWF. The Undertaker's debut with Brother Love at Survivor Series was surreal, but it was lacking the anticipation of Y2J.

[SpudAlmighty]

haha I think I about fell out my chair when this was live on tv. Lionhearts debut is one of the most fun things that happened in wrestling!

[Romchikthelemon]

O Yea

[nomarsenrab]

4:13 oh no!! he said the "F" word

[SweetBrwnSuga]

@nomarsenrab lmao! they didnt catch that to edit it out? I thought he said fuck, until i replayed it a 3rd time.

[duncandun]

4... 3.. WERE COUNTING DOWN! .. 2 COUNTDOWN!! .. 1 COUNTING!

[HandfulofRain87]

That move The Rock does from 08:11-08:20 is pure awesomeness.

[hatfieldd]

wwe needs to make a video of stuff like this all the suprise returns and debuts that no one was looking for
