[SlickyTrickyDamon]

If it was a vote for Hornicane...well I'd probably still vote for Rey Mysterio.

[XCaliber]

If Helms didn't have some of the crappy gimmicks he had along the way I probly would have ended up voting for him but alas it's Rey Mysterio ftw here.

[Rollermacka]

Vertabreaker, will break your spine. Vertabreaker, does the trick every time.

Shane Helms is a talented wrestler but I'm not a big fan of the Hurricane. He just isnt as good as Mysterio.


Side note, If Helms came to TNA with his "Sugar" Shane Helms gimmick, it would be EPIC. Unfortunately, I dont see TNA doing that now with Hogan and Bischoff in charge (they'd do a crappy half assed Hurricane gimmick if anything)

[Emperor Smeat]

Went with Rey even though both were great crusierweight wrestlers in WCW but Rey had the bigger long term pushes and chances in both WCW and WWF. Rey also had the more memorable feuds in both WWF/WWE and WCW than the Hurricane.

Gimmick-wise, I enjoyed the Hurricane character more than Rey's "underdog" since the underdog style was over-used in almost every every Mysterio feud regardless of opponent.

[RiX1024]

My vote goes to Rey Rey but finisher-wise it goes to the Vertabreaker.

[MoFo]

3 Count were the shit back in the day (Starrcade ladder match?) but Rey has had too many top matches to be overlooked.

[The Gold Standard]

I feel like Rey is very overrated and underrated all at the same time.

[Joesgonnakillyou]

Rey is contender for greatest cruiserweight/light heavyweight ever and definately the most successful in the USA. I don't think any other lightweights will be able to beat him.

I see what you're saying. I am a big Mysterio fan as I respect his work. I mean you can't deny that he has had some awesome matches, and when I say some I mean alot. I never understood why he was considered to be overrated. He has been a very consistent worker most of his career. In 2002 when he came into WWE he was on fire and really has had great matches with almost every major superstar in WWE.

[Rammsteinmad]

Helms is awesome, but gotta go with Rey Mysterio on this one.

[jskinnyg]

I agree with Ramses above, Helms was badass, but Rey has just contributed a lot more...
