How was Jericho more known than DDP? DDP was one of WCWs top faces, Jericho was stuck in the cruiserweight division, sure Jericho was better, but he wasn't in the ME like DDP was.
Jericho was building fast as a whiney heel. People were beginning to REALLY loathe him. I agree that LIKED DDP better, but Jericho was coming of age on his Mic skills.
I really don't think anybody was going to get over Taker, Austin and ESPECIALLY THE ROCK.
YOu can see how he just squashed Jericho's entrance. No matter WHO walked in there, the ROCK was going to SQUASH him. That's what the Rock did and the WWF wasn't about to put DDP or Jericho EITHER ONE over the ROCK...
