WWE Did You Know – Chris Jericho’s WWE Debut Anniversary

In a “WWE Did You Know” type fact, yesterday was the 18th anniversary of Chris Jericho’s debut in the WWE.

After being unhappy for a while in WCW, Jericho signed a deal with the WWE (WWF at the time) in June 1999 and had his debut hyped up in the form of a mysterious “Countdown to the new Millennium” clock over the course of several weeks. On August 9th, 1999 the Millennium clock interrupted a promo by The Rock leading to Jericho’s official debut in the WWE and the arrival of his “Y2J” persona.
