What is the appeal to Rey Mysterio?

Rey's character is slightly annoying, but he's being marketed to kids. They all love him.

As many people have pointed out, he has been class in-ring for a while. His match with Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam, any of his matches with Chris Jericho, or his match on Smackdown vs. John Morrison for the Intercontinental title could all have at least been considered MOTY candidates. The Punk feud is hot shit. I even remember him having an awesome match with Mike Knox last year.

What I don't understand is all of this Rey hatred. I feel like I haven't really been noticing it until recently when he injured the Undertaker. Are you guys really going to completely turn on the guy just because of an accident? I was actually just watching a match with him vs. Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc from some year or another...amazing stuff. He deserves to be able to rest on laurels like those...but he's not. He's still churning out great work on a consistent basis. The Undertaker can't even claim that much.
