Punk's whole argument is that it technically wasn't the main event and he's right in this respect. Yes, that match stole the show, hands down, no questions asked and it absolutely overshadowed both HHH/Lesnar and Rock/Cena that followed it, which is no small feat. Punk should have taken consolation in that. But at that point, Punk was already burned out bad and he probably still had hard feelings about not getting to main event WM 27 against Cena, with Miz getting the spot, even though Punk was clearly the best heel in the company. And he kinda does have a point there too and the WM 27 main event proved him right. Plus, he was bitter about HHH not putting him over in 2011 during Punk's rise to the top, in which case he again had a point. And in 2014, Punk was scheduled to fight HHH even though it's a match nobody really wanted to see and during a time when Batista/Orton was planned as the WM main event even though it was clear to anybody with minimum objectivity that it was supposed to be Daniel Bryan in the main event. So yes, Punk was a bit too demanding, but at the same time he had a point to his argument. The sad thing for Punk here is that if he had stayed, he probably would've gotten his desired WM main event by now. It eventually was going to happen, because WWE's new crop of stars in Reigns, Ambrose and Rollins wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire and I can totally see WWE somehow using Punk in the main event some time between WM 31 and now.

Jericho is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining and well rounded performers in the history of not only the WWE...but wrestling period. And what’s even more incredible to me is that the older this guy gets, the more depth he adds to his overall presentation. He’s proved for 30 years now that he is a true a master of reinvention.

Joey Gana yes it was, just it wasn't the main event (well maybe to some fans like myself, we all know HBK is THE MAAAAAAAAAIN EVENT) it was Austin vs Rock 3 and Angle vs Lesnar!

I honestly can't remember HHH vs Y2J - to me the event ended w/ Hogan vs Rock.

Damn he was spot on this

Wasn't there a situation the same where triple H didn't want Kurt Angle to have the love triangle angle in 2000 because he believed Steph would never fall for someone like kurt

Nice to hear Chris's point of view on this. My opinion as a fan was, due to past storylines, I didn't want to boo Jericho against HHH. I wanted to cheer him. HHH had screwed him over and over. With the McMahon-Helmsley thing and the Two Man Power Trip etc. Jericho could have hit HHH with the Sledgehammer and I would've popped. I just thought the roles were the wrong way round from the second HHH returned.

It wasn't HHH'S fault he got a babyface welcome 8 months in 02 and they ran with it. That was organic. Turning Jericho heel to win the title didn't have to happen. They could've kept Jericho face.

@@Speedyreedy1218 I agree that HHH babyface made sense at that time. Therefore it made sense for his path to be Rumble, win title at Mania. I thought it made sense for Jericho to be heel,( even though I would've kept him face or tween at that time) and win the title in the way he did. It just made no sense when you put them together. I wanted to cheer HHH but I felt conflicted cheering him against Jericho because their entire history prior, HHH had been a bully, absused his power etc at Jerichos expense. I always felt by the time it became clear it was going to be HHH vs Jericho, the fan reactions for both were so mixed, it just flattened the vibe of the fued. That's how I remember it. I can fully admit, I could be misremembering it. I've never rewatched and it's been 20 years. Angle would have been a better person to be the heel for HHHs babyface at that time. He hadn't become badass suplex bald headed Angle yet. He was still smarmy, arrogant, dorky, easy to boo Angle.

@@joshsfox6266 The smaller guys (Hbk, Y2j, Angle) tend to be great faces to me. It's easy for them to play underdog and they aren't intimidating looking at all. I never saw HHH as being a bully to Jericho. Jericho would always insult his wife. And HHH being the loving, but badass husband he is is going to defend her honor not just verbally, but physically. I couldn't take Jericho seriously as a heel. Most tried to 08. I think he should've won the belt in 01 as a babyface. WM6 had two babyfaces in Warrior and Hogan fighting for the title. Ironically at the same arena too.

@sanchez501

I agree. The heel was the underdog in the match. It didn't help that Jericho always cheated to win. He wasn't a threat. They had to use a injury to Triple H to give the match some stakes. I wish they'd with held the 'Jericho has never won the big one' angle until wrestlemania. Jericho as a face, challenging for the title would have been more interesting. Still odd that they didn't do Austin vs HHH at Mania 18. For a while, they seemed to be building to that.

He's right. It was an abomination I'm which we all knew the finish to. One of those WWE Style bookings were Ray Charles could see it coming.

Oh HHH, you will be arguably the most divisive superstars of all time. Being both among the best and worst things to happen in wrestling. Talent and work ethic are great, but ego and making storylines to bury other talents. In some ways he is a modern hogan as well as a man of the smart fans. Both extremes and to me, it'll prevent him from ever being considered among the GOAT.

Hogan could actually draw with a broom, though. HHH couldn't.

I was there I can tell you this is 100% accurate. Love Jericho but Rock vs Hogan was truly special. We (the crowd) were totally burnt out by the "main event" Hell! We were more amped with Trish's match (which was actually solid wrestling!), as she came in full 🇨🇦Canadiana 🇨🇦

This WM X8 match was what caused me to check out as a regular fan of wrestling until 2017. The only reason for that match was because HHH wanted that moment to close WM as the babyface champ in the ring.

FYI - the WWE has a long history of the main event of the card not being the last match. It was always the staple under Vince Sr., but even in the early 90s it happened. I was at the Garden show in 1992 to see Hogan vs Flair. Clearly it was the main event and was billed and promoted as such. The match was halfway through the card.

"My wife would never have an affair." You mean the wife you drugged and married without her consent? It would have actually made a lot of sense to have her have an affair to be honest. Besides, if they actually did that angle, they would have turned it around anyway.

It's a shame that Jericho didn't get the chance to really run with his ideas. The guy sounds way more knowledgeable than the WWF creative team. If you listen to his ideas (with Goldberg for example) he had some outstanding angles and really refreshing storylines that would have got over huge, but every time he got sabotaged by some knucklehead (Goldberg, HHH) who couldn't grasp the concept of pro wrestling being entertainment and they wouldn't buy in. The angle with Jericho vs Goldberg (setting up for a big squash match on PPV) was brilliant, but Goldberg pulled out. The angle of a cheating Stephanie being with Jericho to go against HHH was also brilliant. It would have created way more heat for the match. It's a shame that some people in the business (Goldberg, HHH) are willing to sabotage their own matches, drawing power, and revenue, in order to preserve their on-screen character's illusion of invincibility.

Always do what Jericho suggests! I swear he is the MOST knowledgeable about scripting wrestling

It's a shame. X8 is one of my favorite all time Wrestlemanias.
