10 Things You Totally Forgot About Chris Jericho

10. He Was Removed From The WrestleMania 2000 Main Event

Chris Jericho's WrestleMania debut was set to come in the main event of the 2000 installment... until it wasn't.

Early promotional material for WrestleMania 2000 pictured Jericho (who was mere months into his WWE run by that point) alongside Triple H, The Rock and Big Show. Although Y2J was smack-dab in the middle of the Intercontinental Championship picture on the road to WrestleMania, it wouldn't have been a stretch to see him contending for the top title at the event, especially since he had history with Rock and ended up competing for the championship afterwards anyway.

Jericho's placement on the poster was no coincidence. Rock, Triple H and Big Show all wound up in the Fatal 4-Way for the WWE Championship at 'Mania, but between the end of 1999 and April, he was replaced by Mick Foley. The Hardcore Legend was originally expected to retire from the ring following his instant classic with Triple H at No Way Out in February but was eventually convinced to return for the WrestleMania main event, booting Jericho from the bout in the process.

Even if Jericho did take part in the match as initially planned, he likely would have been eliminated as early as Foley was, so it hardly would have mattered.
