I definately think that Jericho paved his way to the success he had in the WWE with two matches. The first was his Ladder Match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship with Benoit at the 2001 Royal Rumble. Both guys looked good and put up one of the best matches in recent WWE history. It was then that I think people started to really see these guys as major superstars, not just upper-midcard. Then there was that match Jericho & Benoit had with Triple H & Stone Cold for the World Tag Team Championship (which was also the match Triple H was injured). Benoit & Jericho were the technically better wrestlers, yet underdogs, while Triple H & Austin were the top two guys at that moment. Benoit & Jericho won launching what I think will be looked on as a bigger part of wrestling history than what people make it. There was also the Vengeance Undsputed Championthing with Jericho, but the previous matches really baked him for that moment.
