10 Great Matches From WWE Vengeance PPVs

10. Rey Mysterio & Billy Kidman Vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team (2003)

Vengeance 2003 was easily one of the best single-brand pay-per-views ever (it was in fact the first ever Smackdown-exclusive PPV). Boasting great matches up and down the card from a motivated and hardworking roster, it was a real gem when it could have just as easily been a humdrum affair.

One of the sleeper matches that evening was the WWE Tag Team Title match between the Self-Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team, who had recently split from Kurt Angle, and the team of Rey Mysterio and the Billy Kidman, former Filthy Animals who were stalwarts of WWE's cruiserweight division.

The babyfaces dazzled early on, hitting the amateur wrestling standouts with all manner of high-flying moves. At one point, Kidman even busted out the rarely-seen Shooting Star Press to the outside, before TWGTT cut him off and began working him over with their fluid tag team attack.

Billy eventually came back because YOU CANNOT POWERBOMB KIDMAN TWICE, allowing Rey to come in like a Mexican house on fire, dizzying Haas and Benjamin with his lucha offense. Kidman gave Rey an assist for a hurricanrana for a very close near fall which had everyone in the arena thinking that was it.

In the end, however, a clever blind tag from Shelton Benjamin allowed the Minnesota man to pin Mysterio following a powerbomb/springboard clothesline combination. There was a lot of action in this unsung, 15-minute match. It's well worth checking out on the Network if you have a quarter of an hour spare.
