Chris Jericho WWF Debut - August 9, 1999

So most people are hoping and predicting that 1/2/12 is indeed foreshadowing Chris Jericho's return. So, I thought it might be fun to look back at each of Jericho's big debuts. The first is back in 1999, the culmination of the Countdown to the Millennium, and arguably the greatest debut in wrestling history.

One of my favorite debuts ever. A few minutes made Jericho look stronger and better than he did in his entire WCW run. They kind of dropped the ball a bit after, but to his and their credit, he got past that.

I hope, if it is Jericho, they don't blow it like they did his second return though. I get what they were doing by showing him in the back right before the commercial, but it ruins the surprise. They did it with Bischoff too...cannot stand that.

Ha, I didn't even read your comment until after I posted the second video. I said the same thing about showing Jericho and Bischoff before their actual appearance.
