WWE: Top 5 wwe debuts ever

[TNT87]

Jericho is my top pick followed by Kane.

 

[Super Hans]

well at least their youtube *slightly* fixed it lol

Looks like some moron with a blown-up Colt Cabana face sign is possibly responsible for the botched debut.

Santino Marella? The Italian crowd was fantastic during it. Like a soccer crowd. Also Vince McMahon bald head!

wut?

the botched original airing was because they had a "B Crew" doing the rumble for whatever reason and one of the idiots was literally staring at roman's face while AJ came out.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Damn, I was gonna say Sea Creature too.

 

[Brodeur]

I also don't get the AJ love that much. Obviously the year that followed his debut was fantastic and the best year by a single guy in a long time....but the debut was disappointing to me. Not his fault but 10 seconds of a confused Roman look while the crowd cheered? Not good.

I think part of it was the rumors that he was signing with WWE but nobody seemed to know when he'd be debuting. The camera stayed on Roman for too long, but the unfamiliar music made for a fun few moments. Even with the clumsy camera work, the crowd popping still added something to the mystery. I still enjoy watching the AJ debut reaction videos. It's a ten second phase of confusion to marking out that doesn't happen too often.

Are we technically counting biker taker and kane as a debut? because that pop with the limp bizkit music was pretty massive.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Kane ainec

Everybody saying Jericho, huge pop, went on too long, crowd turned on him, Rock destroyed him.

If the premise is watching the Rock ruin months of anticipated build up in a matter of two minutes then yes, Jericho's intro was best.

I love the "whose music is that???............................OH ****!" moments. Like when Punk came back with CoP.

Kane
Goldust
Undertaker

Biker Taker originally had Kid Rock's American Badass as his music.

 

[Sheppy]

When biker Taker returned i ****ing lost it. He looked ****ing bad ass, but he was incredibly out of shape.

 

[reckoning]

I'd choose Nakumara's as the best. Not the Smackdown one, but his first live appearance in NXT. His entrance for the match with Zayn was the one moment in the last decade that I wished I could've experienced live in person. The crowd chanting his name after they turned down the lights, then the roar when his music hit was unforgettable.


Also, going back a few years, Earthquake had a memorable WWF debut. I'm sure everyone at the time thought he was just some fat guy in the audience, and didn't realize he'd been planted there by Jimmy Hart.
