This is a good point. It's also the fact that WWE will give Shawn Michaels over 30 minutes to drag anyone to a match that people will say is one of the greatest matches ever at WrestleMania and at WrestleMania only. The man is only human.

I don't think Jericho vs. Mysterio would be put on the same level though simply for it happening at WrestleMania though. HBK and Taker did make something special. Atmosphere or not. And this coming from someone who hates seeing HBK lose and sees him as the only person I can truly suspend reality as root for as if everything is real.
