Mysterio beats Nash

In 1999, Rey Mysterio and the former Latino World Order were locked in a feud with the NWO that resulted in Mysterio losing his mask, a disgrace among the Mexican wrestling community. That led to a match on Nitro between Mysterio and NWO juggernaut Kevin Nash.

Not only has Nash been a mega-star across multiple promotions, but he is nearly 7 feet tall, while Mysterio is listed at 5-foot-6. That didn’t prevent him from countering Nash’s trademark Jackknife Powerbomb for a roll-up pin and a surprising victory.
