The Story of Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho - WrestleMania XIX

[@JM1993951]

Christian posing as Jericho during his Rumble entrance and Jericho attacking Shawn from behind is a classic Royal Rumble moment. One of my favorites.

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

According to Chris Jericho this is his best Wrestlemainia match and I agree.

[@NickDepp]

Him and fandango so much better

[@christianbutcher5246]

Macho Daddy the one vs CM Punk is my is good too

[@saint_silver]

Jericho's WrestleMania matches aren't that great in general

[@1223steffen]

And the his ones against hhh and edge were his least favorite

[@YourPalFry]

@@saint_silver Most of them were about as good as the rest of the card, and the rest were the best match of the night.

[@g-dub5272]

I didn’t appreciate this match as I should have being that I was waiting for Austin vs Rock 3. But looking back now, this was a damn good match

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

Wrestlemania 19 had an amazing card from top to bottom and it's one of the best shows wwe have ever put together, in my opinion Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho was the best match of the night. They told an unbelievable story and they were very similar in terms of their in ring style, I absolutely loved every second of it and what made the match even more special, it was the first time these two ever faced each other on a ppv. This for me was the beginning of Shawn Michael's epic run as 'Mr. Wrestlemania' as he would go on to have the best match of the night multiple times at the biggest show of the year and it all started with this one. 17 years later and it's still a timeless classic.

[@daviddee9336]

I think that one thing that is seriously underrated with Jericho is his strength. That double powerbomb he used was no easy feat. Really was the full package back in his prime.

[@Brianaduvessa]

Just went back and watched that RAW promo and it’s amazing. I’m glad you pointed it out.

[@MrBlack252]

This feud was so awesome. I actually got to be there in attendance for WrestleMania 19. I had awesome seats right next to the ramp. I saw everyone up close because they had to walk past me to get to the ring. The seats were so great and I remember this like it was yesterday. I saw Shawn Michaels come out and when his entrance kind of botched when he tried to shoot the confetti guns but a few of them jammed. My favorite wrestler of all time is Stone Cold Steve Austin and I was so happy that I got to be there live for his last match against the Rock.

Both their attires at mania is just beautiful. This mania was great the things that would’ve solidified it as the best is if booker won the title. And if lesnar hit the shooting star press to end his match. And the arena is just so gorgeous!

[@Kas58223]

Not a big HBK fan but I can’t deny that HBK and Y2J had the best match of the night on Wrestlemania 19, also when Chris Jericho had the Heavyweight championship in 2008 was some great matches as well was an intensity behind it with the accidental punch Jericho did on Michaels wife as well as putting HBK through the Jeritron tv he had on the highlight reel

[@Boozer13]

You better do their 2008 rivalry soon. If you make me wait, I will ruin you life 😂🤣😂. Love ur channel, dood!

[@joejupiter4138]

I was at WrestleMania XIX. I lived in Seattle at the time and there was no way in hell I'd miss it. I got a seat next to the ramp and pumped my fist like an idiot at each entrance and exit. It was awesome.

[@JZF629]

I know how you feel… my friends and I bought last-minute tickets to wrestlemania 15 and drove halfway across the country to go see it (we live in GA, it was in Houston). The trip was crazy, the event was crazy, we were up late as hell for days just being stupid and not even 20yo at the time. It was great.

[@mykalwagner5341]

You create the best wrestling content on KZbin!

[@joshinaround9551]

This really was a superb angle. The way they played up how Jericho idolised Shawn and wanted to be like him. Shawn wanting to prove himself after coming back and tearing the house down with someone he knew he could do that with. A coherent storyline that made sense. Bit different these days....

Why did you dislike this video? and could you have done better? I feel people hate just for the sake of hating.......

for me its always awkward

[@ManNamedEd]

FANTASTIC Video!! Just a great job on this one, fun to watch!!

[@imogenaris1697]

It's very impressive how you keep cranking these gems out! Jericho becoming the Undisputed Champion is still one of the greatest booking swerves of all time. What you said about him staying hungry even after winning it all rings true. Not being complacent at the top. That's a champion. Bret, HHH & Savage ( R.I.P. ) all had this in different ways. The Michaels/Jericho WXIX match felt average but the feud leading up to it was awesome. Jericho is good, & it's debatable putting him in the same league as Shawn. Eddie Guerrero, Dynamite Kid ( both R.I.P. ) & TNA A.J.Styles are moreso undisputed in that class

[@ratmachine87]

Wrestemania 19 will always be the best WM of all time!

[@jmendoza2003]

Not only the one of the greatest Wrestlemania matches but one of the best feuds in WWE History. What a better way to have Shawn Michaels first Wrestlemania in five years than Chris Jericho.

[@theonewhowokeup9987]

Noice I was hyped when HBK and Y2J started to fued. I saw Jericho as a wannabe Shawn Michaels when he was in WCW then he comes over to WWE and a Michaels vs Jericho match I thought at the time was a dream. I'm glad I was wrong.

Didn't think about how Y2J's feud with MJF was almost a retelling of this feud. Unfortunately, they turned a 4 Month feud into a 10 month feud. I feel like 2 and a half months is the perfect amount of time for Jericho to consistently work with someone. Still, both this and their 2008 feuds are still Jericho's best feuds.

Still one of the best feuds of all time and (more) proof just how awesome Jericho is and how HBK's 2nd run in WWE was amazing.

[@HA-409]

1 of my top 5 favorite matches of all time.

[@riazuddin4920]

The first ever HBK/Jericho PPV match at Mania was exceptional because the build actually felt natural. The reason for this is that long before the feud even happened, there were already comparisons between the two and JR often brought up the resilience of Jericho, much like he had done with HBK years earlier. This led to to most fans wanting the match long before the low blow!

[@danielmburgess7912]

Another great video keep up the good work.

[@brandocalrissian3294]

HBK and Randy Savage have always been my favorite wrestlers. During the Monday night wars, I was hoping Shawn would bounce over to WCW. Before Vince put him on commentary, Savage wanted to do a program with then up and coming HBK, but Vince thought Randy was done in the ring. Shawn would have never won the heavyweight title in WCW, but he would have had great matches with Sting, Savage and he would have been amazing in the cruiserweight division. HBK going up against young jericho, mysterio, Guerrero, malenko, Alex Wright and so on would have been amazing.

[@zacharyscott6779]

I wish I remember where it came from, but I remember reading that WWE wanted the handshake at the end to go by normally, but both Y2J and HBK went against it, saying it would make all the promo work before the match look useless. I agree. Jericho knew how well he played the heel character so he and Shawn thought it was the perfect way to finish the rivalry at this time. To have that "I'll never be satisfied with ALMOST beating you" attitude in Jericho to Shawn.
