This is widely considered one of the best WWE pay-per-views ever. Many like to think of the epic WWE Championship main event between The Rock and Chris Benoit as the best match, but it pales in comparison to this fantastic match.

This is a common trend you should notice in this list now. This is the fifth consecutive match to feature Triple H. But that isn't surprising as 2000 was easily the greatest year he has ever had as an in-ring performer. The build-up to this match was actually on and off as Triple H had also been feuding with The Rock in between. Still, though, The Game hadn't forgotten about Chris Jericho 'defeating' him for the WWE Championship on RAW, nor his kiss to Stephanie at King of the Ring.

This was everything that their good yet disappointing WrestleMania X8 main event should have been. Triple H worked Jericho's 'injured' ribs to start it off, but was quickly pummeled by rights and lefts in retaliation. They went back and forth, had a series of goes at each other, a lot of Triple H working Jericho's ribs, great psychology and chemistry between them. The crowd was super behind Jericho.

They fought all over outside the ring, eventually leading to Triple H hitting Jericho with a back body suplex through the announce table. Triple H won as he stood up while Jericho remained knocked out from his head meeting concrete below the tab
