The reason he did so is because WCW wasn't using him for shit, and the WWF offered much better promises of using him to his fullest extent.
It's well know that in TNA, wrestlers are given more freedom to be themselves in front of the camera (i.e. not getting word-for-word scripts to read) and much more freedom to do what they wish when in the ring. In WWE, it's much more scripted, both in promos and matches.
Jericho wasn't being used properly in the WWE. When's the last time he had anything NEAR a decent World Title run? Oh, that's right. Never. When's the last time he had a decent title chase? Hmm.. well, he jobbed to John Cena right before leaving, but other than that, never. Jericho was very poorly misused throughout the last few years of his WWE run.
In TNA, not only are there a huge number of possible match ups that would leave wrestling fans salivating, but it gives Jericho a better opportunity to express himself as a creative wrestler, have more time off to concentrate on his (lol) "music," and he'll immediately become a top tier main event player.
I hope he goes to TNA just so I can see Jericho vs. Daniels/Sabin/Styles/Low Ki/Shelley/Joe.... so many great possibilities.

He's also on great terms with WWE, something I couldn't say for WCW at the time. Not everyone who's poorly used is going to jump ship, especially if they're on good terms with the company.
Besides, anyone with half a brain would look at TNA and see an even greater chance for misuse.
