He walked out with Guerrero and Malenko and I forget the fourth one. They almost immediately showed up in WWF as a heel faction given a huge push. Guerrero dislocated his elbow doing a frog splash during one of his first huge matches on WWF tv.

- didn't the WWE do a huge Jericho puch shortly before that? - groiny Jan 14, 10:27 3
  - Actually --- Jericho debuted in July/August 99....the Benoit 4 jumped in Jan/Feb 2000... - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:34 1
    - well, Jericho was a better ring presence than Benoit, so there is that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:35
  - yeah at least a year before that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:30

- Do you not remember this at all? He felt Bischoff had mistreated him for years. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:26 8

    - How many guys are immediately given a heel faction and a title run when they join a new company? - David Jan 14, 10:30 3

        WCW was near death when he left. They were about 13months from being bought out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:35
