Rey needs to stop fighting hosses or change his moves

I agree that it would be tricky. The bodyguard thing would be a great step. So would a career-oriented Rey, I think. He stops trying to "entertain" and starts trying to "win." I mean, Rey is only like 32 years old, isn't he? They could work that into the angle, where Rey talks about how a safer and smarter style could let him go on for years and years, and make a true legacy for himself.

Paul Heyman, as an on-screen manager, would really help out Rey, who is just not likely able to get the true emotion needed across in promos. Mysterio would just need to slightly tweak his current ring presence to the point where he is annoying and pesky in the ring, and you just want to see him flattened, but his resourcefulness gets in the way.

They could also work in something about how he's betrayed lucha culture by doning the mask after removing it, too.

Change his style, but not have him talk about it. Him not wanting to be bullied is enough. Especially if he starts being pro-active/premtive about bullying and a little paranoid, like wig out on Cena.

Heyman? Really? I would rather another Mexican.

Really? Just for the sake of putting two Mexicans together, or for a more pressing reason? Heyman and Mysterio have enough history with ECW for an on-air relationship between them to work, I think.

Well, perhaps, but Rey is evidence that they find the style exciting, and another luchador taking exception to Rey as a minor program could be sort of interesting. I wouldn't make it a major part of the turn.
