Rate the Match #8: Eddie Guerrero versus Rey Mysterio, Jr. @ Halloween Havoc '97

[Mr. JL]

Randy Orton versus Mick Foley @ Backlash '04 = 8.8

A very strong rating for this match, as many felt it MADE Orton and only a few months later Triple H would UN-MAKE him. Nevertheless, a very great match-up that saw Randy Orton successfully defend his Intercontinental title in a Foley's Specialty Match that earned a high rating of 8.8 that jumps this match into fourth place.

-----

The next match is from the WCW days and was for Eddie Guerrero's WCW Cruiserweight Championship versus the Mask of Rey Mysterio, Jr. Just a phenomenal cruiserweight match-up that saw some intriguing and unbelievable spots. Plus, the build-up surrounding the match and the Mask stipulation really helped these two put together a match that the fans would really care about and be able to get into.
