Houston Texas 04/01/2001 Wrestlemania X-Seven Wrestlemania 17 is typically regarded as one of the best Wrestlemania's in the WWE's history, the TLC between Edge & Christian, The Dudley's and The Hardy's is considered one of the greatest matches not just in Wrestlemania history but the history of the WWE as a whole. While most will think of even 2 or 3 other matches before this, the match that I always look to as my personal favorite match of the evening, the Intercontinental Championship match versus then champion Chris Jericho taking on the WWE Commissioner William Regal. This match is the end of a great feud between Jericho and Regal that the hype reel will breakdown. Regal has a true gift for comedy and Jericho was the perfect mischief maker to foil Regal from having his way. Unfortunately, after this awesome match, Jericho would lose the IC title to HHH on RAW. But what you get here is great wrestling match with the feeling that Regal is a legitimate threat to Jericho's title reign. Regal & Jericho show great chemistry in the ring, their ability to mesh styles makes for a hard hitting match with great storytelling and a classic finish. |
