Eyes on #2...Wrestlemania X-Seven

The Matchcard

The entire event centred around the historical feud between 2 of WWE’s finest...Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock

Match 1 - Chris Jericho (Champion) vs. William Regal (Intercontinental Championship)

A lot of the time, a match can suffer from its placement on the card. This is one of those matches!

Though the talented duo (Regal is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time in my opinion) display a lot of creativity and tell a cohesive story throughout this bout, you can’t help wondering how this match is the opener and not the Tag match that succeeds it.

The two put on a solid bout, with Regal playing hugely on Jericho’s kayfabe injured arm. A strange end, however, marred this match, as Jericho got the pinfall by using a moon-sault, a move that looks technically excellent, but very rarely ends a match.

However, that was the end, and though not the most satisfactory of endings, you can always rely on these two to produce good, solid wrestling matches.
