WWE: Vince McMahon Wasn’t Interested In Chris Jericho Due To His Small Height

Now enjoying a successful run in AEW, Chris Jericho is amongst the all-time greats of WWE. Despite wrestling for a rival promotion, the pro-wrestler still has his fan following intact.

Unlike some of the superstars, Jericho wasn’t gifted tonnes of pushes by the company. Y2J earned his cult following, Jerichoholics what we say, with his mic skills, charismatic ring presence and of course, by providing a safe work environment for co-wrestlers. In his WWE career, Y2J has given us some of the classic matches and amazing promos. But what if we say, all this Jerichoholism came to the lights due to Jim Ross? Yes, you read that right!

None other than Chris Jericho himself has revealed that WWE Hall Of Famer, Jim Ross was responsible for his career in WWE. It all happened when a user took to Twitter for reacting on Ross’ shocking revelation on his Grilling JR podcast. “Exactly!! I listen to Jim Ross’s podcast. Stunned Jim had to sell Vince on Jericho. Chris is so talented, he doesn’t get the top guy love he deserves,” a user wrote. Replying to it, Y2J tweeted, “Well @JRsBBQ was always a defender of mine. He was pretty much single handedly responsible for getting me signed to @wwe.”
