5. Rey Mysterio wins 2006 Royal Rumble, Enters the match at #2
At well under six feet tall, Rey Mysterio has often been considered the man that walks among the giants. But in 2006, he was the giant slayer. During the Rumble match, Mysterio faced foes that all exceeded him in size and strength. What he has always had working for him is his speed, and it was his speed and ability to use it to his advantage that allowed him to succeed. What was incredible about Mysterio’s achievement was that he entered the ring at #2 in the Rumble match up. He and Randy Orton were the last two men, and as Orton attempted to throw him over the top rope he was able to reverse, it causingOrton to be eliminated. If there was ever a time when fans wanted to see a performer overcome the odds, they don’t have to look any farther than this accomplishment.
