Chris Jericho On His Match At WrestleMania 18 vs Triple H 

Love It CVVCLIPS Bro And You Just Made The List Junior.

The world title should go on last except when it's CM Punk 400 plus days as world champion at that

Hogan couldn't perform long enough for a main event match.

Austin/Goldberg, Austin/Hogan. That's it though

@@Appalachianasshole41Can’t say that when that when Jericho/HHH only went like a minute and a half longer Hogan/Rock. Definitely could’ve main evented.

Stop playing games. We all know the son-in-law wanted to be in the main event over the bigger names😂😂😂

@@solkey1781 hogan was a risk there was no guarantee he'd be able to do a good match. Youbdont end the show on a risk. Ypu also don't end the show on anything other than the title match.

I wasn't there live, but i did watch the PPV live. And... oh boy... the crowd just didn't have any juice left. But, ofcourse, "i am", HHH had to push for that mainevent.

I was at SkyDome for this. The Hulk/Rock match was to the fans the main event. There were so many great matches It was hard to continue to pop for all of them. The Jericho/HHH finish-everybody knew was going to happen, and when the bell rang, everybody flooded for the trains, not caring about HHH @@fpshooterful

Yep then history repeated itself at WM 25 when HHH-Orton had to follow HBK-Taker.

I'm curious though if the crowd would have still been on high if Hogan had won? I think there's a good chance the buzz would have carried throughout the rest of the event

​@@benrichards399it was not about the buzz, because even if Hogan didn't won, the crowd still saw the return of Hulkamania and Hogan and Rock United to fight back the nwo. You couldn't Have had a better finish than that. It's simply that after all that rollercoster of emotions, there was no way you could Have followed that. Wm18 should Have ended with Rock vs Hogan

I’ve been to a wrestlemania. And I could not have lived with myself if I had left early.

Yes it was

Agree. Also I really loved their Hell in a Cell Match at Judgement Day 2002. Which funny enough was headlined by a match that didn't feel like a main event-worthy match in Hogan and Taker.

What held them back was the whole Stephanie angle of it at mania that took away from Jericho

I think the RAW match in 2000, where Jericho won the title until the descision was reversed, is their best match. The crowd was NUTS for that match and I was sitting infront of the TV jumping up and down when Jericho won. (and of course was really pissed of when he had to give the title back)

@@mrmoviemanic1 Vince wanted them to climb the cell with webs lol

While that main event would obviously have been brilliant, Bret was still bitter with WWE at the time. It was not simply a matter of him getting cleared.

​@@williamjansen1Bret could not have an actual wrestling match, especially with him trying to collect the insurance on his contract.

Bret was heavily concussed at this point, his career had finished for over 2 years. Not to mention his ridiculous levels of heat with WWE.

I always thought a prime Bret vs. a prime Jericho would have been an amazing match.

The rumor was they wanted to do Bret vs Angle that year.

Thanks, will do!

Off The Record was a Canadian show. Saying Hogan-Rock should had main evented over HHH-Jericho, I guess, would have been seen as a slight to a main event that featured a Canadian (Jericho) in a Wrestlemania that was in Canada. Remember too that the host of that show, Michael Landsberg, was a huge jingoist when it comes to how Canadian wrestlers were being used in WWE and WCW.

Yep nobody new how big that match was gonna be not Vince not the fans especially not hogan or rock and hogan went in as a heel and rock a baby face the crowd chose to flip it and being pros they did Jericho is talking out of his ass as usual

⁠@@bloodeagle6458hindsight is 2020, if the march wasn’t in Toronto it probably wouldn’t even gotten the pop it did and Hogan wouldn’t have returned to the red & yellow getting one last little career resurgence, It was a black swan event.

​@@mikeg2491Hogan was getting cheered every week. That's why Undertaker and Austin politicked to bury the angle.

Its easy to see it a mile away from the confrontations and hype. People already suspected Hulk Hogan was going to come back . The version of Hulk that had the biggest impact that people have been missing after years of being heel.

​@@mikeg2491toronto was one if Hogan best markets. You are right But Hogan was always going to get cheered. He got cheered the shows leading to WM too

the real ego maniac is the current booker of WWE and you can't dig that

​@@mycodingchannel9690he's alright pal.

@@IcyLife3956 maybe now. But if you know WWE history, ya know.

I mean he probably did but then changed his mind after viewing the Rock and Hogan match as it was going. You see that and probably second guess if what you do is going to make any more pops happen. That's just a guess of course.

Of course he would want that.

I mean who wouldn't. It's very much nowhere near as bad as some internet videos have made it out to be, but it wasn't Rock vs Hogan.

Yeah and if he would in the Rock/Hogan spot, he would push to go on last. Clearly you dont know his politics

@@RaulSHermanoYou know his politics? You’ve worked with him?

I don't blame him for that I blame him for taking away Booker's moment at 19 Triple h at that point had already 1 won 2 mania main events he should've let Booker win that one

Jericho is a such boring persona for the most part. That's why 😅

I wanted to see Punk/Jericho and Taker/HHH. I didn't want to see Rock/Cena.

@@Speedyreedy1218 yeah ok

@@lilkeenan To be honest, I never wanted to see any Cena or Rock match, so pairing them together was a miserable main event for me. I was like that about Austin too. Oh the days of Austin v. Rock were 😬 for me.

He has an enormous ego what are you talking about? Maybe not about this subject but he's an egomaniac tool.

I love you Ken, but you and I both know that Jericho does have an ego.

He thinks that snooze fest with Michaels was better than Angle Lesner.

​@@alphanerd7221snooze fest? You have to be a dumbass surely

I said a huge ego. Even Jericho doesn't think him and Hunter should close the show. @@mrmoviemanic1

Well to be fair, no one thought the Rock Hogan match would be what it was. It was a decent build but no one was ready for the fans to come unglued for Hogan. Plus you had Jerichos horrendous title run up to that point...this one was not on HHH.

@@mattm7798but again its freaking Hogan vs Rock both in Top 4 of all time shit they should be the main event of WM18

​@@dxtremecaliberRock isn't top 4 all time, he was second fiddle to austin for a reason

​@@mattm7798 Are you kidding me! They absolutely knew! They built that ppv based off Hogan and Rock, look at all the commercials

@@Bugs-cd2bhhe wasn’t Austin’s second fiddle. There were definitely points where Rock was the bigger draw and international star than Austin hence why Rock was more represented when WWE did global branding (video games, interviews, talk shows etc). Rock in WWE is easily top 5. Austin, Hogan, Rock, Taker and HBK round out the top 5 in WWE for me. Bret and Flair being just on the outside.

That was such a great match on so many levels.

what about Hbk vs Taker?

The title is a prop nobody gives a shit

confetti cannons. Only backstage report on that match was that they overran their time.

@@klsecond5755 Ah yeah Confetti would make sense. And that's odd because I was there. I worked Wreslemania XIX and there were launchers lining the ramp and none of them worked. Shawn tried all of them.

@@ForeverDegenerate oooh that's neat! did you meet anyone? what could've happened to them that made them defective?? Shawn fake cried when one of them failed to shoot lol.

It's not about belief when the crowd is dead.

Triple H was mark for himself because of that new York return pop but quickly found out he ain't rock or hogan

True...at SS92, the IC title match went on last, where it absolutely should have been.

Yup. Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker was on before, the crowd was alive for that match. Then it completely died with Triple H vs Orton

I never even noticed. Time stamp? Because that sounds hilarious.

Why would you not be a fan anymore?

@@Disneymagic24I’m predicting a disagreement on Jericho’s political party

​@@Disneymagic24I assume he is a cornetto cultist with no mind of his own

“Not a fan of Jericho anymore because Jim told me not to”

Lol, not a Cornette guy. I’ve actually never listened to his podcast or whatever. Jericho is an interesting case. Obviously he is past his prime but he still does have value. And I guess AEW has been getting that value, but I just have not liked his work there. I haven’t enjoyed any of the stables he’s fronted. I don’t find his matches to be very good. And yes, as a person, he’s done some questionable things, but I can totally separate the man from the character. Hell, I’ve always been an ultimate warrior fan and he was a tier one garbage person.

Roman reigns main evented 3 wrestlemania and punk dont even got 1 really

@@Yodhavu291 What does Roman have to do with Punk and Jericho? If Punk didn't walk out, maybe he would've main evented.

Benoit sucked in the ring. Jericho got a good match out of Goldberg. He's one of the best of all time.

Can say that about The Rock too. It takes two to dance junior, anything to bash the guy huh?

learn what a buffer match is

@@mycodingchannel9690 people remember the hogan rock match much more than the triple h Jericho match.

Wwf literally had a PPV called "Fully Loaded" and promoted it as a triple main event.

I know, they can promote it all they want like that, but then that defeats the point of the term "Main Event". If you just label it as "Two" or "Three" main events, then you have no "Main Event".@@Speedyreedy1218

I disagree. Some really do enjoy that match and feel it's a worthy WrestleMania match, it's just not as good as other classics from them.

There isn't one.

Jericho always had banger matches triple h just not tonight

That match arrangement made no sense

But every WM he main evented did a great PPV buyrate

@@madnomad3861 I know right. He was the perfect villain and at times a good face. I don't personally think the main event needs to always be the final match as I do believe you can have a few main event levels matches on 1 Mania. But to argue Triple H didn't help sell any Mania is very revisionist history and kinda filled with people who just don't like the dude. I mean WM2000 had it been Rock vs HHH was one of the biggest feuds ever. WM20 Is considered by some to be the greatest match of all time, WM21 Is considered by many to be one of the best storylines of all time. WM22 Triple H was cheered so much they turned him face. WM28 I feel broke it's record not just because of Rock vs Cena but because of Triple H vs Undertaker in Hell in a Cell.

​@@madnomad3861not because of triple h

​@mrmoviemanic1 WM 28 was because of rock vs cena and WM 29 was the second highest bought mania and what was the main even oh yeah rock vs cena and triple h was not the reason people bought those wrestlemania's

@@dominiclowe3640 how do you know that? He's been in the main event of 7 different wrestlemanias and every one had a big buyrate. It's not a coincidence
