5 Taking Out Sabu (ECW One Night Stand, 2006)

Rey Mysterio and Sabu were two wrestlers that had styles that worked very well against each other, even though on paper they were different types of characters. Their encounter saw a lot of innovative spots put together, with each man looking to top the other.

Of course, due to this being an ECW show there were plenty of extreme moments as well, which led to Mysterio crashing his opponent through a table. With Sabu propped up onto one, Mysterio springboarded into a seated senton to drop Sabu through the wood, which was a cool spot in the encounter.

3 Swatted On A Stretcher (Backlash, 2002)

Putting Rey Mysterio against Big Show was always going to open up some crazy possibilities, simply because of the size of both men, and that was the case at Backlash in 2002. They had a fun match, but what people recall is when Big Show had Mysterio on a stretcher, and wielded him like a bat.

It was an incredible moment of strength from the World's Largest Athlete, but it also showed a lot of trust from Mysterio. He was stuck without protection and just went flying into the ring post while being on the stretcher in a spot that few fans will ever forget.
