For whatever reason, the Jericho/Mysterio feud from 2009 just doesn't get the love that it deserves.

Following on from their Extreme Rules match, Mysterio wagered his mask against Jericho's title, and Jericho continued his infatuation with unmasking Mysterio by going for it from the very start. Jericho's litany of near-falls, as well as countering Rey's springboard into the Walls of Jericho, had the crowd losing its collective mind.

By the time Mysterio managed to finish Jericho off with the 619 and the subsequent splash, the match is truly a classic, second only to Undertaker vs. Shawn Michaels' WrestleMania epic in the 2009 running. The one-upsmanship and storytelling continuity were impeccable, and again, it's a shame that the story arc is so under-appreciated.
