The historic feud between Chris Jericho and The Rock, was undoubtedly one of the most underrated feuds of all-time. During what is now known as The Invasion Era, Jericho and The Rock were both allies for the WWE side of the angle. However, Jericho had been growing jealous of The Rock, and wanted his WCW Championship. At the 2001 No Mercy pay-per-view, The Rock and Chris Jericho stole the entire show with a 25 minute wrestling clinic. Unfortunately for The Rock, Chris would leave with the strap. Oddly enough, the very next night on Monday Night Raw, the two would put their differences aside and win the tag team titles from The Dudley Boyz.

After Y2J and The Rock dropped their tag titles to Booker T and Test, their bitter rivalry would pick right back up where they left off at No Mercy. The two would continue their feud for several months, culminating with another epic encounter at the 2002 Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. While Jericho would once again defeat The People’s Champ, their feud was pretty even, in the grand scheme of things.
At this point, it appears Jericho could be nearing the end of his legendary WWE career. If that is indeed the case, it would certainly make sense to re-visit this rivalry, for a definitive end to one of the great WWE feuds.
