I can’t stop imagining Ralph coming out with Jerico to interrupt The Rock.

[@Derek70388]

No joke, that could’ve been the greatest promo in wrestling history

[@codyswan3863]

[@pianoman9421]

Rock to Jericho: "It doesn't matter what your name is." Ralphus emerges. Rock to Jericho: "But The Rock knows that the giant piece of monkey crap next to you is Ralphus."

[@danshotguns4226]

@Zedrik Allen not really. Hes got a bit of a gut but he actually has abs like hogan had, gut abs. As you get older you change. Hes 50

[@I_Hate_My_Cat_]

The Rock’s insults to Ralphus would’ve been legendary.

[@mysticx0]

Ralphus was my Uncle John. He greatly appreciated his time in WCW and always spoke well of everyone. After WCW, the simple man at heart went back to being a simple man and returned to his love of driving trucks until his retirement. Sadly, we lost Uncle John in 2019 from lung cancer. His bills and burial were all taken care of by a source who wants no credit and I will keep that anonymity but it was a gracious and generous gesture from someone people speak so ill of. We all miss him so much and I know he loved all of his fans. This video would have made him swell with joy! :)

Was it Jericho?

Kind of you to share this info with the fans. Brings closure to his story. And keeps his legacy going.. sorry for your family's loss! P.s. it was Bischoff, right?

[@mysticx0]

@@Shakespeare12 well its been years now and i doubt he will ever see this nor will he get upset if he does... so, the person im speaking of is jericho. i wont get into details but ill say he was very generous and took away a lot of the early worries.

"getting big leagued by fucking Ralphus" becomes infinitely funnier if you imagine him doing that finger wag with it.

The level of entertainment that Chris Jericho provides at this stage of his career, no other wrestler can come close to that. This guy is on another level. No matter which brand, Y2J will forever be the man!

I interviewed Goldberg when he was doing MMA commentary. The man is....intense. VERY intense. He has alot to say.

[@michaelmclaren1333]

It technically wasn't his fault. Hogan, hall and Nash created the idea for bischoff. An unstoppable killing machine. That would draw HUGE money if done correctly. Of course this was hulk's WCW tho. So the big wigs at turner were in the skybox in the Georgia dome 40,000 amazing fans and one persons name on the marquis. Well two people but not one of Turner brass could name bill Goldberg. That reaction from those rabbid fans was done so because hulk's contract was up. All of them in the skybox could name hulk Hogan. And he got a half mil signing bonus because of that crowd reaction. Bill was a wrestler for 6 months at that point. As soon as the fans started backing him hall and Nash wanted him cut off at the knees. If you watch scott halls youshoot he says "we went to bischoff and said you gotta get this guy talking and beat him asap" knowing full well the fans loved the mystery of who and what Goldberg was. I was annoyed when they gave him a mic. Hall and Nash made him a Mark for himself and at the same time tried killing his push.

[@justincrediblefantasy8263]

I get really pissed off when people keep talking about Goldberg being a mark.

[@Derek70388]

The fact Jericho was able to take a 2 toothed, 250+ lb truck driver and get him over shows how talented he was. Even if WCW never went under, there was no way Jericho would’ve been more than a midcard TV champ wrestler. He made the right move going to McMahon. As far as WWE, the $$$ I would’ve paid to see Ralphus with him for his WWE debut when he interrupted The Rock.

[@mrexposethetruth6549]

I just commented to somebody else, this goofy looking fat guy was moreover then probably three-quarters the wrestlers in the business today.

[@quigonkenny]

Not sure I'd want Ralph's in the WWE, because at some point he'd certainly get into Mr McMahon's personal 'roid stash...

I met Ralphus he was a co patient in a friends room...i got there one day and my friend was in rehab and he saud u can hang out...i said u look like a guy in Wcw and saud its me and for the about 2 hours we talked ...he was so friendly and it was actually a very good convo about wrestling...and ironically he was telling me if they ever used me (i was in indies) get a contract lol

[@BeeBumper]

Did you get a contract

[@perfectblindguy]

wikipedia stated that he did get a contract. He hired an agent and the agent got him a sweet deal.

"Why, they're nice people?" Ralphus could bring peace to the world.

Bullcrap. The Jericho Personal Security shirts would've sold thousands, guaranteed. #jerichaholicsince92

[@williamblackfyre4866]

there were a decent amount of jericaholic signs back then, alot of them were women, I think he'd have sold a couple hundred at least i still think it was his best work, his cruiserweight title reigns were hilarious.

[@tonymontana1179]

I definitely wouldve bought one lol. I actually think Ralphus was more over than Jericho at times

Fun Fact: Jericho was ralphus’s agent the WHOLE time

[@chasechaney3055]

Ralphus was my favorite character in wrestling at the time! Hell, maybe of all time! Me and my squad used to make Jericho Personal Security shirts and wear them to school! We used to say he was our Savior and would be the one to stop Goldberg's streak.

ralphus vs goldberg would have sold out arenas everywhere.....

Ralphus likely had heat on Jericho for leaving him behind. Lol

One of my top 3 moments ever in wrestling- Jericho debut o in the WWE/RAW Man,what a moment...

[@benschatz9954]

WCW was so inept that they would have forgotten that Ralphus was one of their drivers and he would have probably showed up to work on his first day in WWE with Jericho driving the WCW lighting truck. Vince would have belly laughed for about 10 minutes straight then would have had them put the truck on TV just to stick it to Eric and Ted lol
