10 Legendary Pro Wrestling Rivalries

#5 Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn

Rob Van Dam in the clutches of Jerry Lynn's cradle piledriver finisher.

Rob Van Dam was one of the most difficult opponents for wrestlers to prepare for, because of his uncanny agility, martial arts prowess, and supreme technical wrestling ability.

It was these attributes that earned him the nickname "Whole F'n Show." However, there would come a challenger who could match Rob Van Dam move for move, strike for strike, and his name was Jerry Lynn--whom the fans dubbed "the NEW F'n Show."

If you are into five-star technical wrestling matches mixed with brutal strikes and chairshots galore, you need to look no further than virtually any match involving these two legendary rivals. At times they seemed like mirror images of each other, though Van Dam probably won more of their contests.

This was just one of the feuds that made the ECW what it was. Wrestlers were determined to put their bodies on the line in the name of entertainment and it was an unreal sight back in the day when things were more conservative.

Here's a match from ECW's Living Dangerously PPV in 1999.
