Chris Jericho's WrestleMania Matches - From Worst To Best

6. Chris Jericho Vs. Christian - WrestleMania XX

WrestleMania XX brought about a story of good friends turned bitter enemies as Jericho battled Christian, with the beautiful blonde bombshell Trish Stratus at the heart of their rivalry.

For months Jericho had courted Trish, much to the chagrin of bestie Christian, who felt their friendship and tag team were suffering as a result. One vicious assault of Stratus at the hands of Christian led to the disintegration of a friendship that had netted the uperstars tag team championships and lasted nearly two years.

More importantly, it set up a match between the two at the most important event of the year.

The match was pure wrestling for the most part, devoid of the nonsensical overbooking that plagues so many matches when outside factors such as Stratus are involved. That is not to say she did not play a part in the match. In fact, she was the determining factor, her elbow "mistakenly" catching Jericho in the face and leading to a victory for Captain Charisma.

More memorable than the match was the heel turn that saw Trish slap Y2J right into The Unprettier.

One of the most underrated matches in the long and illustrious history of the event, it was completely overshadowed by the main events that followed and a notorious Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar bout.
