10 Of The Biggest WWE Pops Ever

9. Raw Is Jericho - Raw is War 1999

With WWE and WCW desperate to out-draw the other during the Monday Night Wars, every single episode of Raw and Nitro was a must-see just in case somebody from one company turned up in the other. The biggest defection from Atlanta to Stamford took place on August 9, 1999.

After weeks of mysterious messages counting down to the supposed new millennium, the clocks finally ran out midway through a promo by The Rock. An unfamiliar theme and video started playing, until the Titantron displayed a single word - Jericho.

Out walked Chris Jericho, the talented WCW star who had been kept firmly in the midcard due to backstage politics. Despite being held back, he was still extremely popular, and the fans raised the roof when he walked out. Not only did Jericho get weeks of build-up to his arrival, but he was immediately positioned as a major player in WWE and the fans reacted to this positively with a giant pop.
