Chris Jericho's 2008 was something special wasn't it?

It was in that year that he transformed from a somewhat floundering babyface into one of the most engaging heel characters of all the time, the suit-wearing Best In The World At What He Does. The turn centred around his all-time feud with Shawn Michaels, a beef that still stands the test of time today.

After shockingly winning the World Heavyweight Championship a month earlier at Unforgiven (despite not initially being in the main event and having his botty handed to him earlier in the night by Michaels), Jericho put his newly-won prize on the line at No Mercy against his blood rival, the Heartbreak Kid.

The duo went at it in a ladder match, in a bout still highly regarded to this very day. There's also just a pound between the two, at 224 and 225lbs respectively.
