#29 Chris Jericho makes Shawn Michaels repeat history
In a sense, Chris Jericho always wanted to be Shawn Michaels. The tights, long hair in the first stages of his career was a testament to that. While Bret Hart may have been the standard he strived to achieve, Shawn Michaels was his Rockstar equivalent.
Chris Jericho indeed turned heel when his feud with Shawn Michaels had escalated. While the pair had squared off back at WrestleMania 19 (more on that later), this was the clash of different men. On Jericho's show, The Highlight Reel, the two men came to blows with Jericho, throwing Michaels into the "Jeritron" screen.
Moreover, the apparent "mirror image" of a bloodied Shawn Michaels at the hands of Chris Jericho was a callback to the barbershop incident. Michaels' past had come back to haunt him, and it began a feud that would last a better part of the year. It's probably one of Chris Jericho's most significant rivalries in his WWE career and would rank very high on his list.
#28 Chris Jericho torments Stephanie McMahon
Chris Jericho was at the height of his popularity once the Invasion storyline began. Jericho was getting over with the fans, but more importantly, he seemed to be connecting with the audience ever than before. The crowds swooned to his putdowns, and it could be argued that his riffs were more brutal than The Rock's.
But the person who got the most jibes in this period was Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie, who probably was at her best playing the rich spoiled brat, seemed to be at the receiving end of Jericho's verbal wrath. While some of those putdowns wouldn't pass muster in the WWE Universe today, as a whole, those moments are still part of WWE History.
