10 Best David Vs. Goliath Wrestling Matches Of All Time

9. Rey Mysterio Vs. Kevin Nash - Nitro, 1999

From one Outsider to another, it seems these guys were destined to find themselves on the receiving end of a miniature beating at one point or another.

Let's be honest, the greatness of this match has very little to do with Kevin Nash. During his prime, Rey Mysterio could pull a great match out of a slug if he had a captive audience. And while this is one of the shortest matches on the list, it also packed a massive wallop for the fans.

The night after losing his mask - and basically his identity - in a Hair Vs. Mask match against Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, the luchador was out for blood. With nothing to lose, Mysterio demanded a match with Big Sexy to take out some of his righteous anger on the nWo leader.

After Nash gets a couple of big power moves in on his smaller adversary, Mysterio takes control of the match with a well-placed dropkick to the "midsection" and some leg kicks to knock him down to size. When he launches at Nash's face with a spinning wheel kick and takes the big man off his feet, the crowd loses their minds.

One Bronco Buster and a reversed Jackknife Powerbomb later, Mysterio scored the surprise pinfall, leaving Nash dumbfounded, Mysterio ecstatic, and the whole damn crowd in a frenzy.

This match was worth it just to see the look of wide-eyed bewilderment on Kevin Nash's big dumb face.
