5 WWE dream matches you didn't know actually happened in WCW

#3: Rey Mysterio vs Jushin 'Thunder' Liger

Two of the most famous masked wrestlers ever faced off just once in WCW.

Rey Mysterio may be considered the greatest masked Superstar in WWE history, but in the whole of professional wrestling, there are few masked wrestlers who can compare to the legendary Jushin 'Thunder' Liger. With his skills and ability, Liger helped redefine the genre after joining the Atlanta-based organization in 1991. His rivalry with Brian Pillman over the Light Heavyweight Championship — the precursor to the Cruiserweight Title — was memorable, but his oft-forgotten battle with Rey Mysterio is the true definition of a cruiserweight classic.

Joining the company in June 1996 at the tender young age of 21, Mysterio quickly showed how good he was and would become, as a match was set for the two at that year's Starrcade PPV. A meeting of the wily veteran against the young up and comer, the match was, as you'd imagine, an incredible showing by both men. Though Mysterio demonstrated a toughness that would follow him his entire career, it was Liger who got the huge win, proving that there was plenty of life left in the legendary masked sensation.
