Talk about it here.

Jericho is wearing Iaukea's skirt and has an easel with him. He calls himself the "Ayatollah of Rock & Rollah" for the first time and they are pointing out that Jericho has gone through everyone in the division and there are no other challengers on the horizon. He promises to retire the cruiserweight title soon since no one can beat him. JJ Dillon is out to tell Jericho that the Executive Championship Executive Executive Championship Committee has decided there will be a 15-man battle royal and the winner will challenge Jericho at Slamboree the same night. Jericho is upset at first until he realizes his odds are good. He ends up revealing a defaced Dena Malenko poster and pretends to be upset. JOE MALENKO comes out and looks like a total badass. Jericho cracks me up ("I've got no problems with you, shooter") before Joe gives him a dad lecture. Jericho points out that this has all been misconstrued and he has total respect for the Malenko family. Jericho ends up sneak attacking Joe with the "leg of Rey Misterio" and they've done a great job putting heat on Jericho going into Slamboree.

I was hoping that Joe was going to surprise the fans by busting out a few moves. It was better for the angle to leave all the payback until the PPV however.

Jericho has pretty much demolished everyone in the division so therefore he is retiring the Cruiserweight belt. JJ comes out and makes his best ruling in a while announcing the cruiserweight battle royal and subsequent title defense at Slamboree. The potrait of Dean is defaced and Joe Malenko comes out. Jericho ends up attacking Joe as he takes the picture. Great build up.

Maybe the last really strong beginning-to-end angle in WCW history (though of course Slamboree isn't really the end).

Loved everything about this. Also enjoyed Gene pulling the mic away from Joe before they lost the crowd.
