17. Rey Mysterio v. Finlay 9/5

We get another TV match between the best babyface in wrestling and the best heel, and the Finlay love continues. This match was hurt a little bit by the storyline, which was Rey being "off his game" although most Rey matches, on game or off, have him selling as much as he did here. I don't think Finlay ever worked lucha, but he was the lost great rudo in this match. I loved the little opening mat work which had Finlay reverse the headscissors using a indian deathlock, his headscissors counter into a quebradora was amazing, and he took all of Rey's offense perfectly. The bump on the satellite head-scissors was especially gorgeous. As much as I was in love with January/February Finlay he may even be better now.
