History: Chris Jericho's career started out with a lot of promise, he first made his debut in 1999 in a federation known as WIF. The federation itself only lasted 2 or 3 shows in those shows, But in that time Jericho was able to capture the WIF's European and United States Championship. It seemed that Jericho was destined for great things, but after WIF closed he wouldn't be seen until somewhere in late 2000. Where he made a one time appearance in the then growing Extreme Measures Federation to team with 17 time world champion "Stonecold" Steve Austin against the teams of X-Cold and Alex Salvatore and Keith and Scott Tazte. Jericho's team wasn't successful, but it was just a warm up match to what his future held for him. What is known about this time period is that Jericho started to train within the EMF to get better to enter the storied federation the Real Wrestling Alliance. Jericho made his first appearance in the RWA-WCW somewhere in February. He had many highlights within this time including his feud with Scott Hall, being apart of the owners stable known as the Corporate Hitmen. But those days were very cloudy as Jericho would alude that there was more than meet the eye at that time. Could he have meant of what happened at Spring Breakout 2001? The night "The Slayer of Careers" and "the Other World" was born after Jericho and Amy destroyed the career of the legendary Godfather. The night he was first seen publicly with Amy Dumas? Whatever the reason, it would not only turn out to be a ground breaking night in wrestling history, but a very special moment for Jericho personally. Because from there, it would seem that was the time feelings formed between Jericho and Dumas (or so it is widely believed). The two at some point after the RWA died, and made a plot to invade the EMF in memory of their dead federation the RWA (and later revealed that they secretly just wanted to be together). So after they both charged in, and invaded the Extreme Measures Federation. They had no promise of success, but through a bond that could not be broken. They not only were successful, but they changed the course of wrestling history. They soon were accepted by the EMF, and the Wasabi World Order (wWo). The Other World continued to make history in the Extreme Measures Federation, but as it's shown in this DVD...that is no longer most important in Jericho's life. After saving Amy from Gene Snitsky, Jericho decided that he no longer has forever to tell Amy how he feels. The two are now officially a couple, and it would seem that the future holds big things for the new couple in the Extreme Measures Federation.
