#1 – Shawn Michaels, WWE No Mercy 2008
If you took time off from being a wrestling fan in 2008, you missed one of the greatest rivalries in all of wrestling history. If you ask Jericho himself what the best worked period of his career is, he’ll tell you the 2008 feud with Shawn Michaels. You owe it to yourself to check it out – it starts with a PPV match between HBK and Batista in April 2008, and culminates in this epic ladder match for the World Heavyweight Championship at No Mercy.
This feud was so personal, it involved Shawn’s wife getting punched in the face, Jericho destroying the Highlight Real and “killing” his own Y2J character, and about a half dozen promos that showcase some of the best work of both men’s careers.
