Remember when Jericho beat HHH for the title on Raw in 2000?

[THE 101]

The pop was huge...the crowd wanted that shyt so bad

But they dusty finished that shyt and Jericho handed over the belt 10 minutes later

And to make matters worse, Jericho jobbed to HHH clean as a whistle later in the show in a six man tag

They could've made Jericho a legit main eventer overnight. He was over as fukk around this time.

But the fukked up thing is HHH shouldn't have had the belt in the first place, he shoulda jobbed to Rock at Mania a couple of weeks before this but that shovel was putting in work around this time

I 100% remember this and I was so heated would’ve been an amazing opportunity to elevate him instead of the sham way they did him as Undisputed champion

 

[Womb Raider]

I never saw this before

They did Y2KKK so dirty

 

[Bob Loblaw]

Y2j is one of the greatest hhh opponents up there with rock and mankind

Remember watching this live. Me and my cousin were so hyped we threw on wwf the music vol 4 right after and started

When they hoed Hebner out and reversed it.

 

[Mike the Executioner]

They really hated Jericho in his early years. Wasn't he supposed to be in the WrestleMania 2000 main event before they replaced him?

 

[InstantKlassik]

Jericho with the Big Eagle belt

I know he would end up holding it later as part of the Undisputed title but still.

 

[Da_Eggman]

Yeah that was awesome but to be fair the belt needed to go to The Rock anyways

 

[Stop_It_5]

In the discussion for best ever opening segment of a RAW.

So much potential money and goodwill was lost catering to certain guys egos. They’ll make entire documentary series on Bischoff doing it in WCW but wont mention how much bad business was done in the names of Shawn Michaels and Triple H, two guys who wouldn’t and couldn’t have even gotten over if they had went to the competition

 

[Metal Face]

The Rock needed to the title here so

Jericho's Undisputed run could've been something special but they booked it like absolute trash

Funny how HHH was involved there as well

 

[R=G]

Cripple H was so jealous, insecure, and weak willed in 2000. His entire prime really. He knew he wasn't good enough. Which is why he always had a belt or needed a stable. A utter sham of a maineventer. It was no wonder fans chanted for him to retire 9 years later against a another non draw.

Triple H started on WCW lol

I’ve always found it funny that some people talk about this moment as if Jericho won some legitimate shoot fight and then the title was robbed from him.
