source: WWE.com - Kane's Pain: Once again Rey Mysterio faced off against Kane, and once again managed to score a PPV win over The Big Red Menace.

The WWE Universe voted to see a No Holds Barred match between the two Ring Titans, where the only was to garner victory would be by pin or submission. Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole believed this would stack the odds in Kane's favor, and when he walked out wearing a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon, so it seemed did Kane.  There would be no DQ to save Mysterio this time around.

With an arsenal of weapons at their disposal, the masked wonder and his arch-nemesis used everything from Kendo sticks to stop signs to steel steps on each other in and out of the ring.  Kane would elude the 619 thrice, cutting Rey down instead with the clothesline or big boot, but the pin for him would be just as elusive as Mysterio would continually manage to get a shoulder up before the three count.  In turn, Rey escaped Kane's caustic clutch and the ensuing chokeslam and each time managed to get the Monster down on the mat, only to be tossed off before three.  But it would be Rey's speed and quick thinking that would win out over Kane's brawn and well timed baiting.

Mysterio turned the tables on Kane as he was being stalked into a corner and the inevitable chokeslam onto the top of the steel steps Kane had rigged earlier, but felling the giant with a drop-toe-hold that sent Kane straight into his own set up.  That would set the scene for a 619 that connected, leading to a West Coast Pop and the winning pin by Rey Mysterio.
