10 Best Intercontinental Title Matches Of WWE's PG Era
8. Rey Mysterio Vs. Chris Jericho (Extreme Rules 2009)
Brace yourself; there's going to be plenty more mentions of "Mysterio" and "2009" on this list.
Mysterio retained the belt against Jericho the previous month at Judgment Day, sending Jericho plumbing the depths of diabolical thought. In this no-holds-barred match, Jericho set out to play head games with virtuous Mysterio, making several plays for his mask.
You know, the one Mysterio removed back in 1999 while in WCW, but we can play along...
Even at their respective advanced ages from their spryest WCW points, both men proved to be as quick and nimble as ever, blending virulent brawling with their lightning quick work. Jericho eventually did rip Mysterio's mask off mid-619, and then pinned the vulnerable champion while he shielded his face.
Naturally, this necessitated yet another rematch.
