Y2J received a hero's welcome when he interrupted The Rock on Raw during his first appearance with WWE on August 9, 1999. Once people realized the timer would reach zero well before the new year, everyone knew somebody important was about to make their presence felt. It all started with a series of mysterious videos containing a countdown. The man who inspired this article had one of the most unique and memorable debuts in WWE history. Since it would be difficult to make this list using every promotion in the world, we will focus on WWE, WCW, All Elite Wrestling and TNA/Impact Wrestling since those are the companies most fans are familiar with these days. This is not a ranked list, so do not worry about where your favorites fall in the order. Sunday marks the 21st anniversary of the legendary WWE debut of Chris Jericho, so we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the most impactful debuts in wrestling history. Can you remember the first person The Rock faced when he first showed up as Rocky Maivia? Do you remember whom "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wrestled on his first night? Probably not.Įven though a big introduction is not necessary for a wrestler to be successful, it gets them off to a good start, especially if the crowd buys into it. Some of the biggest Superstars in the history of the business had lackluster introductions. WWE will sometimes run a few video packages before bringing in someone from NXT to Raw or SmackDown, but even that method doesn't always create anticipation. Unfortunately, many Superstars have debuted without much fanfare over the years.
The first impression they have on the crowd can dictate how they are booked for the next year or longer.
