Was jericho a star in wcw?

[Kings County]

i was a kid brehs but i cant seem to remember jericho at all in wcw
but im wonder how he went from a b level superstar to coming to wwf and facing off with the rock as his first rivalry

No he was a mid carder

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

He got really over despite WCW not wanting to push him beyond the mid card. He was a star in the eys of the fans but not a main eventer. The expectation was he was going to become a huge main event star in time with the WWE.

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

 

[dh86]

Yes, he was calling out Goldberg while Goldberg was at his peak, though they didn't actually do a match

 

[Tide Run This]

wcw had a dream team roster compared to wwf back then cant believe they fukked it up wcw was my shyt

 

[Wacky D]

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.

 

[YakSpiller]

He was over

Malenko feud
Conspiracy theory shyt
Rufus the security dude
One sided Goldberg feud

He had his moments but the 'big boys' didn't want him playing.

 

[Wacky D]

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.

 

[Da_Eggman]

he had 15 mins of tv time every week for a year plus but never pass 10 o clock

 

[Bob Loblaw]

heel cruiserweight Jericho stealing trophies mispronouncing names and sonning luchadors was must see

 

[Wacky D]

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.

 

[Xane Vic]

Jericho always been star...

 

[ZEB WALTON]

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)

IDGAF I will shotgun a can of beer and do a shot of jager to this song at a party if this is playing and proceed to act like an ass doing "sweet" air guitar solos.
