#3 Big Show destroys Rey Mysterio

Big Show brutalized Mysterio at Backlash 2003

Rey Mysterio got into a rivalry with Big Show, soon after WrestleMania 19. The behemoth made quick work of Mysterio at Backlash 2003, and pinned him after hitting a thunderous Chokeslam. As his music hit, Big Show made his way to the back, but the worse was yet to come. Mysterio was placed and tied on a stretcher by a bunch of medical personnel to keep his body steady.

Suddenly, Big Show appeared from behind and swatted two personnel on both sides. He picked up the stretcher with Mysterio bound to it, and hit it with full force on one of the ring posts. As soon as the stretcher hit the post, Big Show let it go, and it fell down with Mysterio's face hitting the floor. The brutal attack was enough to keep Mysterio out of action for around a month. He came back on the Blue brand in May, defeating Crash Holly and Shannon Moore in a Tripe Threat Elimination match.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
