When fans think of great WWE moments for Rey Mysterio, his 2006 Royal Rumble win, victory at WrestleMania 22 and later run as WWE Champion must come to mind first. Incredibly, none of those were recanted on The Ross Report, because Rey wanted to discuss another fond memory instead.

WrestleMania XX allowed Mysterio the chance to see friends like Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero on top of the world as World Heavyweight and WWE Champion respectively. As if that wasn't enough, he also got to share the ring with a lot of friends during a Cruiserweight Title Battle Royal.

The surprise here is that Rey dearly cherishes that match despite it never being remembered by fans as one of his finest hours.

Watching his friends live out their dreams later in the show made him happy, as did working alongside the likes of Chavo Guerrero, Tajiri, Billy Kidman and Shannon Moore on the same card. To this day, that throwaway Cruiserweight melee is one Rey loves reminiscing about.
