Chris Jericho's role in WrestleMania XXV was to help promote a movie that Vince McMahon was rumored to have wanted absolutely no part of until he heard it had all that Oscar hype. While Mickey Rourke didn't reprise his role as Randy the Ram to face off against Jericho, three of WWE's legends took to defending the fabric of the old school. Neither Roddy Piper's nor Jimmy Snuka's efforts were all that inspiring, but when Ricky Steamboat took to the ring, he dazzled the crowd, both in person and at home, so much that he got a curtain call against Jericho at Backlash the next month.
