In #ThrowbackThursday, we head back to 2008, where Chris Jericho took on Shawn Michaels in a Last Man Standing Match in Manchester

Chris Jericho will battle one extremely athletic WWE Superstar at Roadblock: End of the Line on Sunday night - so this week's Throwback Thursday looks back to when he fought another!

The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla will go one-on-one with Seth Rollins at Raw's latest pay-per-view, which you can watch live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Rollins' in-ring skill has been compared to that of WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels, who hung up his boots after WrestleMania 26 in 2010 following a defeat to The Undertaker.

With that in mind, we have delved into the WWE archives and gone back to November 2008 when Michaels and Jericho faced off in a Last Man Standing Match - in Manchester.

Michaels flipped Jericho into a red pillar box before Jericho - who was World Heavyweight Champion at the time - applied a Walls of Jericho on top of a black cab.

Jericho was then elbow dropped through the announce desk and cracked with Sweet Chin Music but still managed to win the match - watch how he did it in the video at the top of the page.
