30 Years of Chris Jericho: His greatest moments ever

#11 Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit vs. Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin

Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit had a real friendship and their pairing in WWE at the time had magic that some in the business would marvel. The night that they squared off with The Two-Man Power Trip was fantastic in its build and execution.

Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H were running rampant in WWE, consolidating their power by holding the company's biggest titles. And they were not let go of it that easily. Jericho and Benoit eventually emerged the victors, but Triple H got legitimately injured during the match but finished it.

Chris Jericho said plans had been changed due to Triple H tearing his quads. He said:

"What I heard the day before, was that we were going to win the titles, then branch off. So it would be Jericho vs. Austin to feud for the World Title, and H vs. Benoit in a feud for the Intercontinental Title," Jericho revealed. "At the time, Hunter was IC champ and Austin was World Champ, and that's the way it was supposed to go from what I heard, which if you look at what was going on at the time, it certainly would make sense.

While those chain of events would have been interesting, the moment the real-life friends won the WWE Tag Team Championship, it ranks high for its emotionality and still holds a place in WWE History.

When AEW Dynamite aired a year ago, the show ended with Chris Jericho forming a new stable that included Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana, and Ortiz of LAX. On the second episode of AEW Dynamite, Jericho would reveal in one of the year's best promos and dub them The Inner Circle.

Chris Jericho's years of experience came into play as he was able to control the crowd who tried to hijack the segments with "We The People'' but Jericho wasn't having any of it. He said:

"Hey, calm down for one second. We The People sucked and it's dead and buried. It was a stupid idea from bad creative and all that's gone. Jake Hager is the most feared MMA fighter on the planet today and that's a shoot. That makes him the toughest man in AEW, that makes him the toughest man in the professional wrestling business, baby. He's not afraid to challenge any fighter, wrestler, boxer, MMA guy, former MMA guy, street bum, bare knuckle fighter, you name it, Hager is ready. Look at him, he's a giant."

Only Chris Jericho could pull off that move, and since AEW Dynamite has been on the air, Jericho has been front and center stealing the show and showing that he was at his best.
