#1 2002 – Chris Jericho vs. The Rock
Trending
It's incredible to believe that this match was over fourteen years ago, but it's true. All those years ago, the current best friend of Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho, faced off against one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood today.
The match stipulation was that it was for the Undisputed Heavyweight championship, which Jericho had won by defeating both The Rock and Steve Austin on the same night. The match was tremendous, as the men managed to tell a story in the ring through their great commitment.
It caught a lot of fans off guard when Jericho had captured the title in the first place, so combining that with how well they worked together led to the match being as good as it was.
No one can deny Jericho's ability, but based on popularity, The Rock was on a completely different plane. The buildup to the match consisted of a back and forth verbal barrage by both men.
If there is a criticism of the match, it was the finish as fellow Canadians Christian and Lance Storm came out, causing the referee to be distracted when Jericho was tapping out. Even though Jericho won in the end, it took a lot to stop The Rock.
