Favorite debut in WWE by WCW wrestler(s)

[Deleted]

I know some of their runs were crap or ended like crap, but for just one moment, which WWF debut from WCW or return from WCW did you mark out the most?

Other: Lenny Lane getting squashed by Jack Swagger back in mid-2008.

I enjoyed Lance Storm's run-in debut and quick getaway, but Jericho's is one of the best debuts I'll ever see, if not the best.

[Objection!]

I'm a huge Steiner fan, so I voted for him. But everyone knows that Jericho had the best one.

While I'm a huge Jericho fan, I marked like a child when DDP debuted. When he whipped off the mask to reveal himself as Sara Taker's stalker I actually rang a mate to come round and watch it again while we bothe marked like children. It's amazing how badly the WWE blew this feud - and the invasion as well....

[Citizen Zero]

Jericho pretty much had the most awesome debut ever. No contest.

I'm not sure which one's my favorite. Do you guys want to help me out?

"Welcome to RAW IS JERICHO! And I am the new Millennium for the World Wrestling Federation! Now for those of you who don't know me, I am Chris Jericho your new hero, your party host, and most importantly the most charismatic showman to ever enter your living rooms via a television screen! And for those of you who DO know me, well, all hail the Ayatollah of Rock and Rollah!

Now when you think of the new Millennium, you think of an event so gigantic that it changes the course of history. You think of the dawning of a new era. In this case, the dawning of a New Era in the WWF! [The less inteligent fans start a "Rocky" chant] Thank you, thank you!

A new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs! What was once a captivating, trendsetting program, has now deteriorated into a cliched, let's be honest, BORING SNOOZEFEST that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor! And that's why I'm here! Chris Jericho has come to SAVE the WWF!

Now let's go over the facts. Television ratings - downward spiral. Pay-per-view buyrates - plummeting. Mainstream acceptance - nonexistent. And reactions of the live crowd - complete and utter silence!

And I know why you're silent! You're silent because you're embarrassed to be here! And quite honestly, I'm embarrassed for you! And the reason why you're embarrassed is because of the steady stream of uninteresting, untalented, mediocre "sports entertainers" where you're forced to cheer for and care for. No wonder you're not cheering! You could care less about every single idiot in that dressing room...and especially this idiot in the centre of the ring. [The Rock]

You people have been led to believe that mediocrity is excellence. Ah Ah JERICHO IS EXCELLENCE. And now, for the first time in WWF history, you have a man who can entertain you! You have a man who is good enough for you! You have a man who can make you jump up off your chairs, raise your filthy, fat little hands in the air and scream "Go Jericho Go! Go Jericho Go! Go Jericho Go!" [The intelligent fans chant along] Thank you.

The new Millennium has arrived in the WWF, and now that the Y2J problem is here, this company, from the front office idiots to all the amateurs in the dressing room [including this one] to everybody watching tonight, will never eh eh eeever be the same, a-gain!"

Does that answer your question? ;D

[YellowJacketY2J]

It rings a bell!

[Wolf Hurricane]

Goldberg: Just waltzed in like he owned the place, speared the holy hell out the Rock, and left. Now that's how you make an impact!

[wwe1993]

Jericho had the greatest debut, WCW superstar or not, I've ever seen.

[Legion]

The Big Show.

Through the ring to throw Austin through a cage.

[Next Level was WRONG]

"THAT THE CONSORTIUM!....




....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[baresolid]

History is very kind to Jericho's debut. It consisted of Jericho cutting an uninspired promo, followed by the Rock reeling off his catchphrases (literally - none of his promo involved anything other than his catchphrases). It was, however, helped by the ridiculously hot crowd that night.

I choose Steiner 1) because I'm a huge mark for him and 2) because the first words he said live on WWE television were GIVE ME A F***IN' MIC

[Crappler El 0 M]

Giant Gonzalez!

No. Actually, Ric Flair for me. It was surreal to see him on WWF TV with the NWA/WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

I can understand Jericho's debut being popular. It was exciting to see live. The crowd was very hot for him and the very first visual of him posing while the crowd goes nuts was great. The rest of the segment just didn't seem as great as so many make it out to be.

[8.2.11/SAVIOR_NEZ]

I voted Jericho, but really all of these were pretty memorable, DDP, Flair, and Goldberg in particular.

["The Rated XXX Superstar" Jed]

STING!

No, seriously, it's Jericho. That was just f***ing epic!

[DZ: WF Legacy]

I was just getting into internet wrestling news/message boards at the time, so I had Jericho's WWF debut spoiled for me several times over, but I still have to go with him. Truly unforgettable.
