Inside The Ropes recently released a clip of Chris Jericho from one of his one man only shows.
During it, he told a story how his WWE debut in August 1999 could’ve been much different than just interrupting The Rock.
Jericho wanted to bring Ralphus with him, but that didn’t happen as Ralphus stayed in WCW.
“I was leaving to go to WWE at the time, and I was like, ‘Wow, it’d be really cool, f–king Jericho shows up on RAW with Ralphus by his side!'” Jericho said. “Like, I was really thinking that. Like, what the f–k was I thinking? And I mentioned it to him! One day, like ‘Hey, what do you think about going to WWE?’ He’s like, ‘I’m in. We got to get out of here. This place is losing.’ Keep in mind he’s still driving the lighting truck around.
“Then, a couple weeks later he comes over to me, ‘When are we going to New York?’ New York is slang for WWE, old-school wrestling talk, and I’m like, ‘I never once ever called WWE ‘New York’ to you. Where are you finding this s–t out?’ Now he’s all in the wrestling business, like, ‘Kayfabe brother!'”
