The entire 'SmackDown Six' era from 2002 should be essential viewing for anyone who considers themselves a fan of guys like Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero etc. Joined by Edge, Chris Benoit and Chavo Guerrero, those men put on regular clinics each week that remain some of SmackDown's finest television.

After beating Angle and Benoit in an excellent 2-Out-Of-3 Falls match on the November 5 SmackDown, Edge and Mysterio then went into a Triple Threat situation also involving Los Guerreros 12 nights later at Survivor Series. This would be the end of their reign, because Eddie and Chavo would leave MSG with the titles.

What a stunning match it was though. Seriously, if you're at all into tag-team wrestling or WCW's Cruiserweight high-flying, this is unmissable. Rey and Edge's run would've benefitted from being a little longer, but it's hard to badmouth anything about the Survivor Series Triple Threat.
