I've always respected the fact that he wasn't given much in WCW, but he allowed himself to get over pretty big. WWE didn't give him the world either, they just gave him the freedom to do his thing, and he was over pretty well. They made him champion, but they really never gave him much other than a working microphone and tv time.

Are you kidding me? The guy was put on WCW TV humuliating crusier after cruiser week in and week out. He was given a lot of TV and segment time on Nitro and had the greatest crusierweight title run of all-time. Everyone knew who Chris Jericho was the minute he walked through the curtain on Raw because of WCW. WCW would have never allowed Monday Night Jericho to go through if they had no plans on making him a star. Yes, WCW did screw him over after his crusier run. He should have been US Champ at least. But they got his name out there and if not for WCW putting him over for like 2 years, he wouldn't have had a great name recognition. WCW put Jericho on the map in the US and WWF took him and made him bigger.
