Top 5 Royal Rumble winners of the Millennium

#3 Rey Mysterio (2006)

A win for remembrance.

Prior to the match, Rey Mysterio dedicated this Rumble match to his late best friend Eddie Guerrero. He entered as the second participant in the match riding Eddie’s signature car as a tribute.

Rey Mysterio showcased a gutsy performance and spent a record time of over 62 minutes to win the match. He eliminated Randy Orton to achieve the feat.

WrestleMania 22 featured a triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Championship with Kurt Angle(c), Randy Orton and Mysterio. Rey pinned the “Viper” with the West Coast Pop as the Olympic gold medalist wasn’t able to reach just in time to break the pinfall count.

A true way to pay the homage to his friend!
