10 WWE WrestleMania Matches That Sadly Get Overlooked
You NEED to check out these underrated classics!
5. Chris Jericho Vs. Christian (WrestleMania 20)
WrestleMania 20 made the bloated duration of a WrestleMania night work by mixing in some shorter bouts in between the heavier entries, making the night feel like an old school WrestleMania in some ways.
Most memories lie with the now-heartbreaking conclusion of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero standing tall, the excellent matches that each won, Undertaker's grand re-entrance, and The Rock clowning Ric Flair.
Jericho and Christian, meanwhile, had an intriguing grudge, and they boosted the show's undercard with some fantastic wrestling. Their feud centered around Jericho's curious puppy-dog crush on Trish Stratus, and Christian trying to knock some sense into his lovesick friend (WWE realises the fans knew Jericho was married, right?).
The match itself was as thrilling as it was workmanlike, with Christian even busting out a Texas Cloverleaf for the occasion (which should make it an Ontario Maple Leaf).
A controversial finish involving Trish would lead to the innovator of Stratusfaction's shocking heel turn and alignment with Captain Charisma.
Overall, this match will remind just how underrated Christian truly was, and that WrestleMania 20 had more great memories than just the contemporary choices.
