25 Best Chris Jericho Moments
19. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Kurt Angle - WrestleMania 2000
In a rare match for two titles, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit took on Kurt Angle who held both the European and Intercontinental titles at the same time. Angle was having the best debut year in wrestling history and he was placed in a prominent match with two of the best workers in the world.
The match was a two-falls contest with the first fall being for the European championship and the second was for the Intercontinental title. Jericho pinned his rival Benoit for the European belt in the first fall and Benoit pinned Jericho in the second fall for the IC strap, meaning Angle had lost both titles without ever being beaten.
As an aside, this performance was actually a disappointment for Jericho but not for anything that happened in the ring. Leading up to the event, Jericho was actually supposed to participate in the four-way main event against the Rock, Big Show, and Triple H. He was even featured on posters advertising the main event leading up to the show.
However, at the last second, recently retired Mick Foley changed his mind about competing at the event and Jericho was bumped down the card.
