5 greatest matches of Rey Mysterio's career

#4 2006 Royal Rumble Match: Royal Rumble (Jan. 29, 2006)

Rey Mysterio taking The Game down

If any bout showed Mysterio’s fighting spirit, it was the 2006 Royal Rumble Match. On a night that he dedicated to his late friend Guerrero, Rey entered the 30-man, over-the-top battle royal in the unfortunate No. 2 position and held on for more than an hour to set the record for the longest time in a Royal Rumble Match and earned himself a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 22.

By far the smallest man in this wild fracas, Rey managed to avoid elimination at the hands of monsters like Kane and Big Show while dumping Rob Van Dam, Randy Orton and Triple H on his way to victory.
