Best ever wrestling debuts

[Adam]

Gotta be Chris Jericho's 1999 arrival in the then-WWF for me. That crowd exploded when JERICHO appeared on the Titantron. I miss Y2J and The Rock trading the insults back and forth. I also miss Y2J's old hairstyle. Feel free to share your own thoughts!

I wish that Chris still delivered promos like that. That one was simply epic. I miss the creative Jericho of days gone by. I loved when he tried mocking Goldberg's entrance back in WCW only to see everything go horribly wrong. Freaking hysterical. I think the video below is my favorite of those botched attempts.

I think Jericho has been the best thing on Raw for a while. He's been killing it since his heel turn.

Nothing will ever beat Ric Flair's first appearance in the WWF.

Flair and Heenan. That's about as good as it gets in wrestling.

I remember Mick Foley's first appearance as Mankind. He scared the hell out of me. And that mandible claw... My God.

It was great seeing the nWo return to the WWE after so many years. One of the best things about wCw folding was watching all the people who left for money return.

I was in my early teens when Flair came to the WWF the first time around. That was pretty cool, seeing him show up with the NWA Championship. Years later I learned that Flair actually owned that belt, hence why he was able to use it on WWF television.

Oh, most definitely! Also notable because it was the first ever Hell in a Cell match. The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels put on one hell of a show... then interrupted by this big galoot.
