We've all been there. Boy makes friend. Boy and friend meet girls. Boy and friend like girls. Boy and friend make bet to see who can do dirty things first. Girl finds out about it, confronts boy. Boy realises shallowness of actions. Boy resolves to become better person. Boy and girl get close as a result of his improved actions. Boy and friend fall out. Boy and friend fight. Girl betrays boy at WrestleMania XX. Girl kisses friend. Boy's heart broken.

Such was the story of Chris Jericho and Trish Stratus, the Canadian super couple, in 2004. Chris Jericho and Christian had bet one Canadian Dollar on who could sleep (I assume) with their beau first, Jericho with Trish and Christian with Lita. Trish overheard this however, and called Jericho out on it. Y2J improved his behaviour, and became friends with Trish.

Somehow, all of this led to a match between Jericho and Christian at WrestleMania XX. The two put on a truly underrated Mania match, with Christian pulling out the victory after Trish inadvertently hit Jericho. Well, it wasn't that inadvertent, as she slapped Jericho twice after the match and made out with Christian on the stage. Jericho was distraught on the big screen in the background.

Damn Canadians.
