View Full Version : The Rey Mysterio Appreciation Thread

On Sunday, Rey Mysterio became a 2 time world champion. That being said, and I know not all of you reading this thread like Mysterio, is he some what of a pioneer when it comes to little guys winning the big one?
Personally, I have always admired Rey for taking the bumps he takes night in and night out, which is too be expected because of the man's size. Also for his ability to put on amazing matches against some of the top performers in the business.
This being said, does Rey's title win open the gate for other "small" wrestlers, such as Evan Bourne ( The cheap man's Rey IMO.) and yes, even a guy like Bryan Danielson?
This is gonna be off topic but, when Michael Cole, and Jerry Lawler (I refuse to call him The King, because he is a shadow of his former self) said that the champion has a 25% chance in a fatal four way match, this I understand. However, seeing as how there was 4 title matches ( including the US Title match from the Raw previous), the statistics these clowns were yapping about all night on Sunday say that One champion should have retained his title out of the four. So :foc: Cole and Lawler. That's my rant, but seriously what are your thoughts on Rey?

Why does Vince vacate the title every few years? there's my appreciation

I don't get it?
Let me break it down for you, SaskatchewanChamp...
There's this hilarious running joke in the wrestling forum that Mysterio's first title run never happened, so that means this current reign isn't happening either.

i liked Rey in WCW until he took off the mask and went all ghetto and shit.
I liked most of his work on Smackdown for a long time.
When he got drafted to RAW 2 years ago I started to despise him. EVERY match and feud was him vs a monster..It got so tired.
Since returning to Smackdown he has been one of the stand out stars on the brand.
He should NOT be a world champion but I see why they did it. The kids love the shit out of him and make pots of money on his masks. Whatever.
His WCW work was pretty great most days especially against Malenko, Jericho & Psychosis.

Rey is a legend, he's a future Hall of Famer, and he get's the shit kicked out of him every night. I don't know how much longer he wants to go, but he has created quite a legacy.

how do people complain when creative, whether it be WWE or TNA, rehash storylines but 90% of the time Rey Mysterio's storyline is the same. OMG the oppenent is bigger and stronger than Rey....its David vs. Goliath...how will Rey over come these odds!? gimme a fuckin break Mysterio sucks.

Sounds like you're gripe is with the booking, not Rey. Unless I missed something and Rey started booking.

apparently all rey does is complain and gets what he wants...its been reported numerous times that if he doesn't like what they have him scripted to do he will bitch and complain till he gets his way...they made him champ now to appease his complaints about money and such and ziggler was supposed to win the IC title from him last year but he bitched and cried that he didnt want to give up the title so ziggler never got his chance...rey sells a lot of merch thats the only reason he is still there

My distaste for Rey comes from using Eddie's death to get the title. Rey was one of my favorites before that
Yeah, that was totally his idea.

its called the world HEAVYWEIGHT title...Rey is not a heavywieght and is not a very believable champion...im not letting WWE off the hook...their booking sucks most of the time but watching a self centered egotistical cruiserweight beat guys like Swagger, Big Show and Punk is not believable...hopefully when Taker comes back he breaks Rey's face into pieces in revenge.

Did you miss the part where Vince has decided to start "adjusting" audiences to accepting smaller champions? Because he realized that his up and coming wrestling stars, like Kofi, Danielson and Bourne, are not big men? If not -- assuming you pay attention to things the way you claim -- why would it surprise you that the little guy won? Especially in a match that is designed for mayhem and NOT simply a one-on-one environment?
Again, I don't get all the Rey hate. Especially from goobers.

You seem to be the angriest one though.

I liked Mysterio during his WCW run and the first part of his WWE run but come on now, you can hardly be considered World Heavyweight Champion if the belt is exactly* half your weight.

So, we swiftly move from "I hate a stranger for his personality," to "I'm a sarcastic little penis," to "Sorry for causing a scene, I just can't handle negative emotions and lash out at people."
Interesting progression.

You guys need help lol. Rey Mysterio is one of the all-time greats in the ring, and will, without a doubt, be a hall of famer. You guys are all judging him on "reports" you have read either here on TPWW, or some other dirt sheet website. These rumors could be, but most certainly are wrong 90% of the time, true.
Some of you are complaining about the injury he caused with his knee brace, imagine if Stone Cold would have inured someone with his, would your reaction be the same?
The "David vs. Goliath" story, that is a fair argument, however, how do you argue against it? Rey is all of what 5'8? With everyone else averaging 6' and up. When you can argue this "storyline" which I don't think it is one, but is reality, feel free to let me know.

I'm not the kind of mother fucker that bases my opinion on what other people think fella. I don't give a shit what Clark says or who's got the most credible dirt sheets. I don't care that he's working the original Spike Dudley gimmick. Honestly I don't even really give a shit how cool his mask is. This dude has wrestled pretty much the same match for like 8 years. Does that make sense? :wtf:

I like Rey Mysterio. He's not my favourite or anything, but he can put on some great matches.
Sure, his WCW stuff was insane, and I think that's partly the problem, because the usual criticism I hear on here is about how he was great in WCW but sucks now. Come on the guy has been doing all these flips/high impact moves for 15+ years, what do you expect?!
His fued with Chris Jericho last year was amazing, and he can still put on five star matches with the right person.
Character-wise though, I desperately want to see him turn heel, coz he's had the same gimmick since 2002. Having him join the SES at the last PPV would have been a great way to make him a reluctant heel, and then have him naturally grow into his new role.

Sometimes he works a little bit too "WWE" style, but I dunno he rarely has a bad match... people on here are knobs.
"WWE doesn't push small guys enough" "WTF Rey is too small to be world champion"

Hard not to, in this instance.
I think I might be quite apathetic towards Rey,
On the positive the stuff of his that I've seen from WCW has top drawer. But then we has working whatever style he wanted, was injury free and working with other cruiserweights.
On the negative he has been pretty bland since coming to WWE, he lacks mic skills and his title reigns have left "bad tastes in the mouth". The first one came as a result of Eddie dying and I think it will always be tainted by that - even if it may not have been his idea. This time around I can't help but think he played his face to get the belt so that WWE could get him to stick around during Taker's absence.
Fueds like the Jericho one aside I can take him or leave him.

His title reign wasn't his fault, it was shit awful booking. Dunno how you can blame him for that.
