Rey Mysterio

[Favre4Ever]

So I'm watching Smackdown and I've come to a strange conclusion: In every feud Mysterio has been in over the last eight months or so, I have liked his opponent better than him in almost every situation.

Now let me say that I don't hate Rey, and I don't even "not like" him. I'm fine with him; in fact, I think he rarely puts on an un-entertaining match. But here are the most recent people he's feuded with: Leather jacket wearing heel Batista, John Morrison, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, and now CM Punk. He has played the face in all of those feuds, but frankly I've been more interested in his opponent in every case.

Now despite saying this, I realize that a million little kids in the audience love the hell out of him and they let him know it during every match. But I can't help but ask: is Mysterio being booked wrong, is he being overshadowed by far more interesting and developed adversaries, or has he simply had the same exact character for so long that it's finally becoming stale?

Or maybe it's just me.
