“Welcome to RAW is Jericho“ (WWF RAW is WAR #32 за 9 августа 1999 года)

Chris Jericho: “Welcome to RAW IS JERICHO! And I am the new millennium for the World Wrestling Federation! Now for those of you who don’t know me: I am Chris Jericho, your... your new hero, your party host and most importantly, the most charismatic showman to ever enter your living rooms via a television screen. And for those of you who do know me: Well, all hail the Ayatollah of Rock-N-Rollah! Now, when you think of the new millennium, you think of an event so gigantic that it changes the course of history. You think of a dawning of a new era. In this case the dawning of a new era in the WWF. And a new era is what this once proud and profitable company sorely needs. What was once a captivating, trend-setting program has now deteriorated into a clichéd, - let’s be honest - boring snooze fest that is in dire need of a knight in shining armor. And that’s why I’m here. Chris Jericho has come to save the WWF. Now, let’s go over the facts. Television ratings: downward spiral. Pay-Per-View buyrates: plummeted. Mainstream acceptance: non-existent. And reactions of the live crowd: complete and utter silence. And I know why you’re silent. You’re silent because you’re embarrassed to be here. And quite honestly I’m embarrassed for you. And the reason why you’re embarrassed is because of the steady stream of uninteresting, untalented, mediocre “Sports-Entertainers“, for who you’re forced to cheer for and care for. No wonder you’re not cheering. You can care less about every single idiot in that dressing room. And especially this idiot in the centre of the ring. You people have been lead to believe that mediocrity is excellence. Uh-uh, Jericho is excellence! And now for the first time in WWF history, you have a man who can entertain you. You have a man who is good enough for you. You have a man who can make you jump off your chairs, raise your filthy fat little hands in the air and scream: “Go Jericho Go! Go Jericho Go! Go Jericho Go!“ [’Go Jericho Go’] Thank you. The new millennium has arrived in the WWF and now that the Y2J problem is here, this company, from the front office idiots to all the amateurs in the dressing room, including this one, to everybody watching tonight will never E-E-EVER be the same again!“
