Chris Jericho established his presence in WWE by featuring a weekly countdown clock that ended in his interruption of The Rock during the August 9, 1999 episode of WWE Raw.
Jericho introduced himself, criticized WWE as uninteresting, labeled The Rock foolish, and promoted his status as an entertainer.
During an episode of Talk Is Jericho, Jericho revisited the promo segment.
“There is a lot of MJF in this promo. Not that he is influenced by me, but it’s obvious he is [laughs]. I feel like I’m watching a modern-day MJF promo right now,” said Jericho.
