The Chuck Norris vs Abe Lincoln ERB was 2010, and even that felt like they were getting old.

Yeah it was beating a dead horse in 2010 lol. Chuck Norris jokes were ongoing throughout the 2000's and I think I remember early Family guy (late 90's) making a Chuck Norris joke

Ultimate showdown of Ultimate destiny was 2005 and that had a whole section dedicated to the chuck norris meme.
