10 Lost Classic WWE Matches

10. Chris Jericho Vs. Rey Mysterio - The Bash 2009

The Chris Jericho and Rey Mysterio feud of 2009 is criminally underrated - two genius workers at the prime of their careers putting on absolutely sensational matches that had real stakes and emotional investment from the audience. Their masterpiece together was at The Bash 2009, where Jericho's Intercontinental Championship and Mysterio's mask were both on the line.

The match was stupendous, an electric series of counters mixed with audacious spots. Jericho in particular put on a mesmerising heel performance, going from being calm and collected in his malicious beating of Mysterio to becoming frantic whenever Mysterio kicked out. The moment where he goes for a desperate Lionsault and fails, allowing Rey to get back into the contest is beautiful, as is the clever Walls of Jericho counter following a 619.

The real strength to the match is the clear attachment to Mysterio from the crowd, with every kick out being met with insane reactions. It's an exhilarating contest that maximised both men's strengths, with the double mask finish and Mysterio's eventual victory being met with rapturous applause. While Mysterio would go on and have a similar feud with CM Punk, this remains the greatest mask match he had in WWE.
