On an episode of Writing with Russo, Vince Russo shared that there were different plans for Chris Jericho's booking. He stated that Jericho was originally scheduled to beat The Rock, and if it were to happen, Y2J would have immediately become a big star.

"I met with WCW on a weekend. The RAW show was already written and bro, (Ed) Ferrara and myself, we had Jericho beating The Rock. And that would have catapulted Chris Jericho. And bro, the entire show, the only thing they changed was the finish. I'm telling you, it took them two more years to get Jericho to the spot that he would have been if he beat Rock that night." Russo said
