Should Rey Mysterio hang it up?
I think so. Dude gets injured when he so much as thinks about wrestling.

He and WWE must be thinking about it. But he's been such a big player for them I think they'd want to get him one last feud in. The problem is, as you said, as of late he's been getting injured almost instantly after returning so they can't build anything up for him.

Yes. He should have years ago. I can't even think of any match I'd really like to see him in even from the past five years.

Yes. He can barely last a few weeks or months before his knees get injured again.
Its possible he could become a part-timer but even then it would only be a matter of time before his knees got re-injured. |

It's time. A going away match is probably in the cards in the coming months, or at least it should

He'll go the route of 'Taker/HBK/ Triple H and wrestle when he feels like it, probably Wrestlemania season, I don't really have a problem with that as long as he's getting guys over.

As much as I'd hate to see it, yeah. Give him one last feud though.

normally I don't like the "they should go" stuff but with a guy like Rey, whose style is based so much around his mobility/not really being able to take shortcuts, I'd like to think he'd know when he's banged up enough that it either adversely affects his performances too much or just isn't worth it anymore. He should be more than well off enough financially (unlike Flair) and has nothing whatsoever left to prove.

Yes, but I say that because I was never liked him much or disliked him, he was always just like "oh ok, it's Rey" to me. He could have good matches but lately he's been the filler superstar and I wouldn't miss his character.

i dont think rey can go the whole partt ime route to put guys over, because he can only play a face, and how "shocking " is it ever for a heel to beat up a guy rey's size? not very

CSL is correct. Rey is so good in the ring, my personal opinion would be to see him stay (but I don't mind him being kept off TV every now and then to keep him fresh), but he knows what state his body is in.
Would love to see Sin Cara vs. Rey Mysterio in a passing the torch match. Let them have one match at SummerSlam, since it's right near Rey's hometown, and have Rey go over there. Then raise the stakes for WrestleMania XXX and have them face each other in a Mask vs. Mask Match. If Rey wants to retire after that, let him, but there's nothing to say he can't keep working in the WWE without a mask. |

So according to the front page, officials really want Mysterio to leave OR they really want Mysterio to stay.
Fantastic journalism guys. |

They want Mysterio to stay. He's a tremendous worker and he sells a ton of merch. There's absolutely no reason for them to want him to leave. The only thing is that they might get a bit annoyed that he gets hurt a lot -- but working such a crazy pace forever kind of does that to you. Rey has been in the WWE for like 11 years now. Keep the guy off television and have him return around SummerSlam time and give him something really special to do.

Rey Mysterio vs Sin Cara would make for a great secondary main event at SummerSlam. Sin Cara has really improved and adjusted. Makes you wonder how over he could have gotten if they wouldn't have thrown him to the wolves from the start.

Love Rey Mysterio, and the guys had a great career, but I really wouldn't be too bothered if he "retired" now (as much as anyone can truly retire in pro wrestling). The guy is just always getting injured now, I guess for his own sake he should give it up.

his last few runs have been kinda turds. i just don't see anything special about him anymore.
the whole "one last run" to a "retirement moment" thing would be cool though, i suppose. and it would def make money. but it has to stop there, no matter how many goofs keep crying for "one more run" after that. otherwise, yet another schtick will get burnt out and no one will care about anyone else's "retirement." my opinion is the most important one. |

He might as well. WWE has the top Mexican face in Of the River. Plus Sin Cara is pretty much the same thing. Back to selling oranges by the freeway Rey Rey.

Rey Mysterio vs. Sin Cara at SummerSlam would be pretty much perfect for both guys. I actually think they should give Rey the win in that match, and then have Sin Cara sort of lament the loss for a while afterwards. At WrestleMania XXX you can do Mysterio vs. Sin Cara II -- Mask vs. Mask. |

Not at all. Not sure anything I said would infer that.
What I was getting at was: how much stock can you put on a guy like Rey? How much time can you spend planning "something special" for a guy that's highly likely not to last long enough for the payoff? If anything, they should bring him back for something quite run of the mill/low key, into the team with Sin Cara so he can share the workload, a tag feud/title chase and if he manages to make it through that you plan that "something special". |

You misinterpreted what I was saying. I said that the WWE should give him time off to rest his body (reduce his workload), and then bring him back for like a special match to make a star and to make his appearances actually mean something.

I'd say yes because it's time for him to retire or at least give him a part time role to keep himself healthy or give him a mentor role to Sin Cara than tag with him. He's still popular with the kids and sells a lot of merchandise but give him one more run and see how that goes.
