This has been bugging me for ages, but I've still not found a definitive answer, so I thought I'd ask here, does anyone know when he started to go cross eyed? I feel as though it was when Jericho threw him through the Jeri-tron that time, although I feel it's just because he injured it in kayfabe, and because there was focus on it, I noticed it more.
I've also seen people say it happened at Unforgiven 04 against Kane, but I honestly don't think he looked as cross-eyed until 2008-2009-ish.
So yeah, anyone got any idea?

I don't think a wrestling move/incident made him crossed. It's probably just what happens with age to some people.

Urban legend says the incident in Syracuse caused it.

 But for a more serious answer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_shDqGkimQAround the 4:30 mark HBK says it basically happened in a match with Kane after his daughter was born. Muscle damage more or less. |

Ah, thank you! It's weird, maybe my memory's just off, but I really don't remember it being that bad until a few years ago. Nevertheless, interesting to hear how it really happened! |

TBH, it kinda slowly happen over his career, but made way worse with the bump with Kane. I've come across stuff before that bump and saw a then, slightly lazy eye.

I always just assumed Shawn was giving people the Forest Whitaker eye:  |

A small piece of glass hit him in the eye when Jannetty jumped through the Barber Shop window.

I noticed it more by the time he was feuding with Y2J but before that it didn't look so weird.

It felt slightly awkward that one time he had a promo with Trips and kept asking him to "Look him in the eyes"

When he lost his smile, he also lost his ability to focus his eyeballs onto to a single target.

It's Kobashi Syndrome. Too much whiplash over the years and it caused damage.
Kenta Kobashi has it, too. Billy Robinson as well.
