On August 9, 1999, Chris Jericho had “come to save the World Wrestling Federation” to much fanfare, interrupting “The Rock” in the process. As debuts go, it stands as a fairly iconic one. According to WWE’s recent ‘Greatest Debuts of All Time’ list, however, it ranks only as high as No. 10. Jericho himself had a simple response upon seeing his absence from the Top 5, tweeting “Hold my beer…..”
At the end of the day, best-of lists are subjective. That said, it’s easy to wonder whether or not his current relationship with WWE (or lack thereof) played a part in his positioning.
