20 Greatest Foreign Stars Who Made It Big In WWE

5. Chris Jericho

It's yet another Canadian on the list, in the form of wrestler and rock star Chris Jericho. Jericho moved from WCW to WWE in 1999 and used a countdown clock to build up to his entrance, referring to himself as Y2J - a play on the Millennium Bug. His subsequent career will be remembered for great character work, whether it was as the first WWF Undisputed Champion or on his interview show the "Highlight Reel". He departed the company in 2005 when his contract expired, before returning two years later. He is now used by the company mainly to put over new talent and works as a real asset to the WWE.
