Summary

Rey Mysterio says the WrestleMania 21 match he had with Eddie Guerrero belongs in WWE's Hall of Fame conversation if he could choose one bout from his own career.

WWE introduced the Immortal Moment honor in its Hall of Fame last year, with Steve Austin vs. Bret Hart from WrestleMania 13 becoming the first match to receive that distinction. Mysterio was asked which match from his own career he would put in that spot, and he pointed first to his WrestleMania Goes Hollywood meeting with Guerrero. He also named his SummerSlam match against Kurt Angle from his first WWE pay-per-view.

Quote from Rey Mysterio

Speaking with Adrian Hernandez on Unlikely, Mysterio said:

"I'm a big fan of Eddie [Guerrero] and I. WrestleMania 21. WrestleMania Goes Hollywood. I'm also a big fan of my first pay-per-view with WWE. SummerSlam. Kurt Angle vs. Rey Mysterio."

What Rey Mysterio's choice says about WrestleMania 21

Mysterio picking Eddie Guerrero over the many other landmarks in his WWE run says plenty about how much that WrestleMania 21 match still means to him. For longtime fans, it also reinforces how that bout remains tied to one of WWE's most emotionally layered rivalries of that era, even without a title change or major stipulation attached to it.

The timing also stands out because WWE's match-based Hall of Fame category is still taking shape. With WrestleMania III's Hogan vs. Andre match also receiving Immortal Moment recognition, Mysterio's comments add another high-profile WrestleMania match to the fan debate over what belongs next.
