Two world class performers that now each ply their trade with Lucha Underground produced another forgotten gem, in part out of necessity. Mysterio was popped for a Wellness Policy violation around the time of SummerSlam in 2009, and would be sent home for a few weeks.

Knowing he'd be taking a leave under a dark cloud, Mysterio set out to re-establish his indispensability by having as great a match with Morrison as possible.

Tons of near falls and signature reversals occurred in the final minutes, ending with Morrison staving off a Mysterio 'rana and finishing with Starship Pain. Mysterio was on an absolute roll in 2009 quality-wise, and incredibly, this won't be his final appearance on this here list.
