10 Worst Simultaneous WWE/WCW Heavyweight Champions
3. Chris Jericho/Chris Jericho (2001)
There was always something of a tragicomic bent to Chris Jericho's "First Ever Undisputed Champion" reign following the doubled-down death of WCW in 2001.
'Y2J' had neither the support of the audience nor respect of his peers to carry one belt let alone two at the time, with only The Rock ever seemingly willing to actually elevate him in their matches compared to the paranoid (Steve Austin) and insecure (Triple H) others that should have been there to help.
Worse still was that he was only really living down to expectations.
Jericho's talked before about the moment he found out he was taking home both titles at December's Vengeance pay-per-view, and it remains hard to parse to this day if it was a rib, a shoot, or a combination of the two. The scene saw Vince McMahon guffawing to The Undertaker in catering that the business must have been in the bin if Jericho was winning the big one.
There were several times when Chris Jericho genuinely was every bit as good as he claimed to be. This, despite his best efforts, wasn't one of them.
