Half the folk still aren't over his title run, what chance does he stand if he gave Taker a boo-boo?

He was poorly booked. Big deal. Not his fault.

The thing about Mysterio is that while he's been good on his 7-8 year run in the WWE, albeit injury prone, he's also been the EXACT same character for 7-8 years. Also, because of the way he's marketed to kids, that will NEVER change before he retires, much the same way I'm sure Cena will stay the way he is for some time to come. He's stale. We're all over it, and I think that's the crux of what the Rey hate is really all about. I still enjoy Mysterio matches but I can't remember the last time I didn't root for the heel he was facing over him. |

I'll also put in that one of my favorite matches ever was Angle vs. Mysterio back in '03. Two guys with loads of chemistry.

I never actually want Mysterio to win either, but I can still appreciate the man's work and look forward to his matches.

Was that the SummerSlam opener when Angle was dressed like a peppermint? That match was indeed amazing.

I don't know what to say other than I have seen him live several times and he is up there with HBK, Eddie, and The Undertaker as the best wrestlers to watch live.

The last Smackdown I went to actually had Rey vs. HBK. That was getting good until the finish.

Yeah I'm in the same boat then. Also in his defense, despite being stale I have no idea how to book a heel Mysterio.

Last time I saw him it was Rey and Batista vs Show and Jericho at Hell In a Cell... I don't know how that match came off on TV, but Rey was on fire, he was amazing.

I've thought about this.
A good way to make Mysterio a heel would be to have him lose a match clean to a face, but then blame it on his size disadvantage. Have him demand a rematch where things were more 'fair' where the opponent would have to wrestle on his his knees, wear a blind fold, tie an arm behind his bag, etc. He can keep the schtick up for a while, constantly using his physical shortcomings to his advantage and portraying himself as a 'victim'. |

He needs to join the S.E.S!!!
Maybe Punk can win a match eventually that says Rey has to join them, at first he's reluctant kinda stringing along, then about a month or two into it, Punk can be fueding with someone who Rey is trying to help, Rey can then attack whoever he's helping and say he's realised the S.E.S. really do look out for each other etc... And that he's better off with them. I'm not much of a booker, just throwing an idea out there. |

Another one would be maybe the mask angle in reverse. Maybe he loses one of these "if he loses he has to take off his mask" matches that seemingly happen once a year, and instead of doing it he like refuses and it becomes a big thing.
I dunno how long a heel turn could really last though, there are far too many little kids at those shows. |

Personally, I don't give a shit about blood either way, but badass or not, it's fucking dangerous.

I really want to change this thread title from 'to' to 'of', by the way.

Rey Mysterio is a good wrestler but he has become very formula based for quite some time now. He is capable of damn good matches (see: WCW, the Smackdown 6 era, the Eddie Guerrero feud in 2005)

You don't even have to go back that far. How about Over The Limit?

Haven't seen that one, was it pretty good? Punk and Rey given enough time I've got no doubt it would be a solid match. I think it's Rey's character that is more of an issue than him in the ring. While he has gotten repetitive, if you think about most baby faces have a basic formula for typical RAW or Smackdown matches and then pull out all the stops on PPVs. People hate on guys like Rey and Cena but never said anything bad about Stone Cold or The Rock for example, despite them having pretty much the same match every week. Could it be a double standard?

A little off topic, but anyone remember the rumor in early 2006 of Rey turning heel and bullying Kurt Angle? ![]() |
