10 Best Ever Shawn Michaels Matches
5. Vs. Chris Jericho (No Mercy 2008)
It was going to take something special for Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho to better the match they shared five years earlier at WrestleMania XIX, but we got it at No Mercy 2008 when the pair crossed paths again.
This time, though, it was a lot more personal. Jericho was no longer a bitter HBK wannabe, but a bitter, suit-wearing World Heavyweight Champion instead. He now hated the fans, and he hated Shawn Michaels, whose wife he (albeit inadvertently) clocked in the face during a heated confrontation at SummerSlam two months prior.
The added animosity took their matches to a whole new level - particularly when combined with the ladder concept, one that both men were by this time well acquainted with.
And after some monstrous bumps to the outside, it was the intervention of Lance Cade that proved all decisive - imagine that.
