#5 Edge & Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit (WWE Tag Team Titles, No Mercy 2002)

No Mercy!

In contendership for the best tag team match of the Ruthless Aggression era, Edge and Rey Mysterio's showdown against Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit featured a mash up of smooth technical holds, lucha libre acrobatics and phenomenal tag team psychology.

Edge, defending Rey Mysterio against the the bullying of Angle, worked well with the pint-sized luchador, putting together a procession of unique tag team maneuvers that had been rarely, if ever seen in WWE. Benoit and Angle, for their parts, did well too, utilizing their signature submission holds and rolling German Suplexes in back to back attempts at putting away the scrappy underdogs.

While Edge and Mysterio showed unbelievable chemistry in their determination to win, it was to no avail. A reversed and then double reversed ankle lock from Kurt Angle forced Edge to tap out while Mysterio recovered from a moonsault on the outside.
