Chris Jericho

Happy 50th birthday to Chris Jericho! Here he is during his WCW Monday Jericho run that culminated in a brief confrontation (but not a match) with Bill Goldberg. There used to be a fantastic playlist on YouTube that chronicled Jericho’s weekly antics during this time in his career and I loved watching it before it was lost to the digital sands of time. I had almost forgotten how entertaining those segments were. Chris Jericho was one of WCW’s bright spots during this time, in which Nitro and Thunder were all but taken over by the increasingly convoluted nWo Hollywood/nWo Wolfpac saga. Jericho had nothing to do with either group, opting to terrorize the cruiserweight division and taunting the likes of Dean Malenko and Goldberg. When he jumped ship to the WWF, it is safe to say that WCW would never…eeevvveeerrr…be the same…AGAIN!
