Throughout the mid 90s, Shawn Michaels was considered as the greatest sports entertainer in the world. While many will say Shawn rose to the top thanks to his backstage stroke and his relationship with the office, The Heartbreak Kid backed everything up with his performances in the ring.

When Shawn took time away from the ring after WrestleMania XIV, other superstars in wrestling began climbing the ladder. A superstar who moved from WCW to the WWF was one Chris Jericho, an incredibly talented superstar who had worked around the world to become an exciting and entertaining wrestler in his own right. When HBK returned to the WWE in 2002 and after Shawn worked his return angle with Triple H, the decision was made to start a Chris Jericho vs Shawn Michaels storyline that would result in a WrestleMania match in 2003. HBK vs Y2J at Mania would end up becoming one of the greatest matches to ever happen at WrestleMania.
