#4 He was originally scheduled for the Wrestlemania 2000 main event
When Jericho first joined WWE, fans will recall the hype and fanfare surrounding his debut, and his subsequent initial banter with The Rock. However, after that debut, it appears his Y2J character was being pushed towards the background rather than becoming a focal point of the main event.
There was great speculation as to his future and his involvement in the main event scene within the WWE. When Triple H faced Cactus Jack in a Hell in the Cell match at No Way Out 2000, it was supposed to be a retirement match Foley, a grand send-off that was only fitting for the Hardcore legend.
What some may not know is that Jericho was originally slated to be in that fatal four-way main event at Wrestlemania 2000. However, the creative team asked Foley to be in the main event in place of Jericho.
It more than likely didn't sit well with Jericho, who had been advertised to be a part of the main event in several promotional posters prior to the event. Although Foley had been asked sometime before, it was a last-minute change to insert him in place of Jericho.
