This was also the year where Chris Jericho turned heel and became that wonderful conspiracy victim character everybody so fondly remembers. Booker T would win the World Television Title around the start of the year, and there's a part of me that wants heel Jericho to be in that mix. It seems blasphemous to rob people of 1998 WCW Cruiserweight Champion Jericho, but Jericho as a heel heavyweight champion gaining traction at the start of the year could have been excellent as well. He'd eventually end up at that point, but it may have slightly changed perception of him, even within the company.
