It's hard to believe that Chris Jericho is still working after a legendary wrestling career spanning over 30 years. He has witnessed all the eras and transitions in the realm of wrestling since the beginning of his career in the 1990s, all the way to his current run in AEW as a veteran.
Y2J is best known for his Hall of Fame-worthy career in WWE. Jericho has had the opportunity of sharing the ring with some of the greatest wrestlers of different eras. Recently, he took to Instagram to share a memory of an event from 2002, where he main-evented last ever "WWF" show against Hulk Hogan:
"Here’s a FUN FACT! I just found out that the very last #WWF show EVER on May 5, 2002 was headlined by #ChrisJericho vs @hulkhogan for the WWF Championship! If you would’ve told a 16 year old me that this was gonna happen I would’ve laughed in your face and probably quoted a Hogan promo from Saturday Nights Main Event! Life is amazing sometimes… @wwe"
For those who don't know, "WWE" was previously known as "WWF" before they lost the trademark war against "World Wildlife Fund." Y2J took on Hulk Hogan for the World Title in the aforementioned event.
