Could Rey Mysterio be a credible WWE Champion?

**redoneja** · 03-23-2005, 07:14 PM

Over the last couple of weeks I have heard a lot of speculation about Mysterio abandoning the cruiserweight division(which is happening now) and recieving a push toward main event status. Do you think that Mysterio could be a credible champ? He has already attained singles victories over Mark Jindrak, Rene Dupree, and Eddie Guerrero. If WWE does push him do you think he will be embraced as a championship quality contender by the fans?

If Mysterio does become WWE Champion then he will be the smallest WWE Champion ever. Over the past 16 years WWE fans have become more accepting of smaller champions: Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero, and Chris Beniot all come to mind. However, all these men still look rather large when compared to Mysterio. The only person that comes to mind to be a World Champion(in America) is "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin. Taz(z) stands 5'9" but he also had a very stocky build. I do think Mysterio has the skills to main event but his stature will be the biggest factor w/ the fans and critics.
