11 Greatest Carry Jobs In WWE History
9. Chris Jericho Vs Chyna
It had been a challenging few months for WWE newbie Chris Jericho when he came up against company favourite Chyna at December 1999's Armageddon pay-per-view.
The two had worked together a month a prior as part of a grossly disappointing Survivor Series card, but calling their contest the match of the night was merely damning with faint praise.
For Jericho, the inter-gender Intercontinental Title feud was his latest source of frustration experienced since his electric debut in August. Saddled with little of interest after politically falling foul of Triple H and others backstage, the Chyna storyline was a minuscule escape route from the obscurity he'd aimlessly slid into within weeks of the famous Raw arrival.
'The Ninth Wonder of the World' had developed a passable-but-clumsy style for her matches with male opponents, but Jericho cleaned the entire presentation up better than any of her previous opponents had done.
In positioning her as his equal or better, he finally proved himself as a worthy addition to the stacked roster by giving Chyna her best ever singles match by a country mile. The reward of his first singles title reign was as much for his real life efforts as it was his predetermined victory.
