5. Eddie Guerrero's Title Against Rey Mysterio's Mask
It's considered by a lot of fans to be the best match in WCW history: Eddie Guerrero defending the Cruiserweight Title against Rey Mysterio at Halloween Havoc in Las Vegas on October 26, 1997. If Rey lost the match he had to give up his mask. If he won, he became Cruiserweight champion. Mysterio was only in WCW for a little over a year at the time. The reason the match was so great is because they went out there for just under 14 minutes and had a flawless wrestling match. Everything clicked. The timing was perfect. Their reversals were on point. There were some huge spots in the match like hurricanranas, a really stiff Powerbomb by Eddie and then Rey was able to pull out the win with a hurricanrana counter off the top rope. It's just amazing to look back on that match to see how skilled these two guys were. The crowd went wild for it. Mysterio ended up losing the mask in February of 1999 and wrestled without for the next two years. It's not something WWE mentions, but if you watched WCW then you saw it. There were so many great Cruiserweight rivalries in WCW, but this match stands out above the rest.
