WrestleZone Top Ten: Chris Jericho Moments

January 12, 2012

Number 2: Stealing The Show

I will say that WrestleMania XIX was the night of Jericho and Shawn Michaels. They absolutely tore the house down, and Safeco Field erupted at the excellence portrayed in the ring between these two ring veterans. Jericho had the power, Michaels had the speed, but they both shared the spotlight due to their chemistry. What an absolutely amazing match they put on in front of 54,000 plus fans in Seattle. Possibly overshadowed by star power due to Austin/Rock, Lesnar/Angle, and Hogan/Vince, this match was given the longest time, over 22 minutes for a reason. Billed as the 5th match of the night, it was the best, the purest, and in my top five matches of all time. I can give a solid argument for this being HBK’s best WrestleMania match of all time. I appreciated this match about a year after it happened, as I watched it again and again. You will never get bored with it, as it featured great transitions, fierce offensive tactics, and also gave us Jericho’s absolute best.
