Billed as the same exact height and weight as Buddy Rogers, Chris Jericho has had a completely different career to say the least. Upon arriving in the World Wrestling Federation in 1999 Y2J was immediately thrust into the big time by interrupting none other than The Rock, in what has been remembered as arguably the most iconic debut of all time.

Jericho didn't exactly hit the ground running however, and for a few months after making his debut he was a healthy scratch from pay-per-views and found himself feuding with Chyna. He was able to rebuild himself though, to the point where in December of 2001 he became the very first undisputed World Champion in company history.

He defeated The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night by the way, if you weren't aware.
