10 Money Matches WWE Rushed To Give Away For Free
9. Triple H Vs. Chris Jericho (17 April 2000, Raw)
A quick look at WWE's title history shows that Chris Jericho's shock win on the 17 April 2000 Raw isn't recognised by the promotion. Jerichoholics tuning in 13 nights before Triple H lost said championship to The Rock knew the truth.
They're also probably scratching their heads as to why this wasn't on a supershow itself.
Jericho had started to find his mojo in the WWF by that spring. His early stuttering had eased, and Y2J had developed into one of the most popular babyfaces on the roster. It felt rather odd to tease a title change only to reverse the decision later that night, and it was odder still to see all this happen without much advertising.
Yes, 'The Great One' was waiting at Backlash, but Jericho's brief flirtation with the top table deserved to happen on pay-per-view too. Although he'd get to show what he could do against 'The Game' at Fully Loaded a few months later, we can't help but wonder how different things might've been the first time around.
