10 Times Chris Jericho Shocked The Wrestling World
8. Defeating The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin In One Night To Become WWE Undisputed Champion
After nearly making history almost two years earlier, the night Chris Jericho achieved a super-rare feat would come under substantially different circumstances from the phantom Monday Night Raw switch, and at the expense of two substantially different main event megastars.
Unifying the WWE and (sort of) WCW World Heavyweight Titles at December 2001's Vengeance pay-per-view, Chris Jericho didn't have to worry about Triple H not being over-keen to put him over - he had Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to do it instead.
Entering in to the one-night tournament as the fourth choice from four (WWE Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin, WCW Champion The Rock and Kurt Angle were other combatants), Jericho left the world stunned when he pinned 'The Great One' and 'The Rattlesnake' in back-to-back matches on the December supercard.
Though ably assisted by Vince McMahon as a newly-minted heel, Jericho nonetheless milked the result in promos for years, both as stab for legitimacy as a hero and an overtly braggadocios exclamation as a villain.
