He turned heel and then started dropping great promos and the Malenko feud pushed him to the next level.

He had a star potential but was never given a fair chance

more like B- level star.

gotta realize, wcw had the goat roster and jericho was still kinda on the comeup.

the wwf's roster was chitty in comparison, so it was no thing for him to come in and feud with the rock immediately. the rock's other feud at the time was with mr ass. let that one sink in for a minute.

funny thing is, people criticize wcw for not pushing jericho to the moon, but the wwf had an inferior roster and they still kept jericho in mid-card hell for a long time. but nobody ever bothers to speak on that.

honestly, jericho was a channel-changer for me when he was on the mic.

and i was a fan of the lionheart stuff before the heel turn and further back to ecw.

yea he un-masked alot of luchadores.

he was getting a steady push for a while.

my memory is foggy on wcw '99 tho, so i cant argue whether or not he got screwed over.

he was on the cusp of the main event but wcw had too many stars bigger to have that spot

he had to goto wwe to become a star cause they had room for it with their biggest names being relatively new to the main event (rock, austin, foley, etc)
