7 Best trilogies in wrestling history

#5 Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho - Great American Bash (July 20, 2008), Unforgiven (September 7, 2008) and No Mercy (October 5, 2008)

Shawn Michaels flies in his trilogy bout with Chris Jericho at No Mercy 2008

Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho had clashed at Judgment Day in May 2008. However that battle was between two babyface's and had none of the animosity or violence of their pay per view matches later that year.

It all got very personal between the pair on Raw as Jericho smashed Michaels's head through his Jeritron 2000 television screen, turning heel and setting up an intense grudge match at The Great American Bash when Y2J intentionally focused his attack on HBK's injured eye, and busted him open in the process. Jericho won by stoppage and it looked like Michaels may have to retire.

However, after Jericho punched Michaels's wife, Rebecca in the face at SummerSlam, the pair would fight again in an unsanctioned brawl at Unforgiven. Michaels would pummel Jericho senseless in an intense match-up. However, Jericho would end the night as World Champion after stealing away the World title as a late replacement for defending champion, CM Punk in the World title Scramble match in the main event.

That set the stage for a classic Ladder Match with the World crown at stake at No Mercy the following month. After a keenly fought contest, Jericho managed to knock Michaels off the top of the ladder and retain his title.

The best feud of 2008 is one of the best wrestling trilogies of all time.
