From the second wrestling icon and veteran Chris Jericho aligned himself with Kevin Owens in mid-2016, fans were under no illusions how this best bud partnership would turn out later down the road. But did that make the journey any less hilarious, creative, or intriguing? Not a chance. And if you think it did... well, you probably just made the list!

Sure, the fact the committed Canadians weren't given the 'Mania main event stage they evidently deserved after stringing together easily the most engaging and entertaining feud of the year coming into the 33rd Show of Shows has soured many fans' perception of the long-running mates-turned-bitter-foes feud in the years since.

But take nothing away from the run that reinvigorated a stale-growing Le Champion once again and came equipped with weekly teases and winks at an inevitable break-up that rarely felt forced or lazy in the slightest.

And, of course, that Festival of Friendship segment and KO back-stab will go down in history as one of the most celebrated pieces of business either man has had the honour of gifting the WWE faithful.

Vinnie Mac may have hated the climax, but pretty much everything pre-Goldberg squash was an utter delight to behold.
