So, is there a reason why we all hate Mysterio now?
 

I hear alot of negative stuff about Mysterio lately. Just wondering where it all came from. IMO, he's the best high flyer in the history of professional wrestling and probably in the top 5 when it comes to hard work and dedication to the business. This stemming from anything?

Probably the whole riding Eddie's Death's Coat-tails thing.

Well, I suppose but that was more the writers than Rey himself. Dunno, I actually liked his title run.

Under a prior name, did you use the phrase "MAKE IT or BREAK IT" a lot, and describe Rey as "New and Innovative?"

Hey, I still like Mysterio as well, but then again I don't watch Smackdown regularly anymore so nothing about anyone over there has gotten on my nerves.

If he was, he'd describe Rey as being too big for the main event.

I hate Rey because he sucks, he's old, and hes an average luchador at best. Plus he's like 150lbs.

I don't like him for riding Eddie's death. It may have been the writers' ideas, but he chose to go along with it. I can look past that, and focus on him only in the ring... which he hasn't done much for me lately. He was amazing as a luchador, considered the best in the world by a lot of people, but now he's just a high flyer. He's not bad by any means. he's probably better than 95% of WWE's roster in the ring. I just don't find him that entertaining anymore.

I'd say I still like him, but not nearly as much as him in WCW.

Not had any problems with Rey at all since he came back. Thought his match with Kennedy on SD this week was excellent and his match with Finlay the week before was even better.

He's Mexican

I've always hated him, starting from his WCW days.

I've got to say, I didn't particularly hate him, and still don't really HATE him.

But he's been boring for quite some time. He's not the entertainer he was in WCW, and I know that's pretty much the norm (Almost nobody's as good as they were in WWE), but still, he was a letdown. He can no doubt have some killer matches or whatever, but he's lost several steps from his WCW/ECW days.

I did find it particularly distasteful the bit with riding Eddie, but whatever. That doesn't bother me about his title run so much as the fact that he was booked as a joke and a fluke. He looked like shit, the belt looked like shit, etc.

mysterio is great to watch at times but his hi-flying is not unique (ultimo dragon etc).Riding eddie's corpse all the way to the heavyweight title is just unforgivable..and dont give me that"it was the writers..."Rey should have refused.

He's 33 years old.

I still say they should've done that "Push Eddie's Casket To Mania" match to see who won the WHC title spot at Mania 22. Would've been so much better.

Dunno, always have enjoyed Mysterio and most likely always will. One of those characters that doesn't have a shelf life and can be carried on for quite the while. If Dominic gets into the business he could even success his father (the liklihood of that happening is probably low though). I just don't see how Mysterio is 'losing a step' like alot are saying. He's just as quick, just as agile, and just as fun to watch to me even after gaining all that muscle over the years. Yeah, the riding the Eddie's coat-tails was dragged out for a bit longer than it should have. I don't personally think it ruined the character though.

Tovo = new Rey fan.

Rey is the man. Fuck the haters.

Can a child be the man?

Ultimo Dragon is better

Juvi > Rey > Ultimo

Fact.

La Parka > Ultimo > Juvi > Rey

fact

Ultimo is better than Rey? WTR?

Oops, guess I SLIPPED up there, didn't I?

Skippord is my new favourite poster.

:'( What about me?

I like Rey, and he's always been really good, but because of lack of exposure to other foreign wrestlers, most american wrestling fans think Rey is the greatest cruiserweight of all time. Far from it in fact. Like I said, I like him, and he IS good, but he's one of the most overrated wrestlers in the industry.

As for his title run, the eddie arguements are complete utter bullshit. You all say how disrespectful it is and whatnot, however, who the fuck are you? You didn't know edde, or what he would have wanted. Considering that his wife, nephew, and best friends all went along with it, seemingly without question, I'm going to assume its what he would have wanted. To be part of the show even in death. Then again I don't know. But neither do you. So it shouldn't be an issue.

And anyone who thinks rey is better than Ultimo has never seen his work outside of wwe, or is certifiably retarded.

That guy's gonna be pissed you used his bandwidth.

Fignuts is my new favourite poster.

People are hating Mysterio right now because Cena is out of action....When Cena returns people will start liking Mysterio again....

Everyone except for me...

:y: to everything

Ummm, no. I believe the Rey bashing was going along side with the Cena bashing. We are a forum of equal opportunity haters.

Also on the list of people being hated onby most people is Batista, Angle, Jeff Hardy, and entering the list; Ken Kennedy. :y:

Ultimo Dragon should be named King Of The World

Then he'll fall flat on his face at the ceremony and be called a laughing stock.

Over the past month I think Orton is also entering that list also. I hear Orton bashing all the time on these forums.

Hating Cena, Batista and Hardy isnt really new to me. Ive never liked either of them since the beginning....

Mysterio on the other hand I used to like...I dont still like him sorta, I just dont care for him on tv anymore.

To abuse, or not to abuse....

Abuse
