You mean there are only ten? No matter where you go in the world, there are very few cruiserweights on the level of Rey Mysterio. He revolutionized wrestling for smaller performers in North America and is the most popular luchador in American history. A multiple time World Champion, Mysterio is a superhero come to life with some of the most impressive high flying moves in history. Speaking of history, there’s this.
There’s a reason he’s one of the best ever.
WWE has released a new Top Ten video of Rey Mysterio’s Wildest High-Flying Maneuvers. The list is a countdown of various Mysterio spots from over his twenty plus year career in the United States. It continues moments from all three of Mysterio’s major American promotions, including ECW, WCW and WWE. Mysterio will return to WWE tomorrow night at SmackDown 1000.
Opinion: Mysterio was my favorite wrestler in WCW and it’s always cool to see him come back, even if it’s late in his career and he might not be the star that he used to be. Still though, he’s a major name and someone who can make others look good in the process. You can’t beat credibility, and Mysterio is one of the biggest names of all time, which makes him that much more valuable.
Are you excited for Mysterio’s return? What is your favorite spot of his career? Let us know in the comments below.
