Why dont we talk about rey mysterio as one of the goat?

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

Dude has been over as fukk since the cruiserweight division...gets monster heels over big time reguarly, stays with one of the best fan connections in the 'e, and can work very well.

Dude got over in AAA, wcw, ECW, WWF, WWE, WWECW, everywhere....

He is rarely discused when we talk about current or generational GOATs

 

[Scotch Hall]

its cuz rey is shorter than most of these n1ggas, he accomplished more while they watching him and complaining about him while he wrestling

 

[Red Omega]

 

[El Guapo]

I wonder this too. To me he's the GOAT cruiserweight and he's so good that outside of the giants ('Taker, Kane, Show, Khali, etc.), if he wins fans don't really consider it unrealistic when he's facing bigger opponents. He's that over.

Why cant he just go heel? all the greats did

doesn't need to go heel if he's still so over as a face



lot of the greats go heel to freshen up their character when they start to go stale

why Rey bulked up is beyond me, then what a shock, he started getting injured left and right

 

[ThatTruth777]

Dude is one of the GOATs and I been a fan since his days in WCW. Its just that if he keeps wrestling he won't have any knees left. He needs to retire before it comes to that is all I'm saying. No hate from me.

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

He bulked up in order to make it in wwe.....


Thats always the answer to that question, btw.

Steamboat never did.

Rey is definitely deserving of being considered one of the best performers of all time, and should be in the HOF one day.

 

[Hoss]

Amazing worker by anyone's estimation, so he can be ranked as an all-time great there.

Extremely marketable babyface gimmick, so the kiddies love him, and even though I don't know the figures, I'm pretty confident his merch sales are huge. Maybe one of the all-time greats in that department, too.

So what holds him back from being called a true all-time great? Probably the fact that he's pretty bad on the mic. And he comes across as more of a cartoon character than an ass-kicker.

I have nothing against the guy, though.

 

[Swiggy]

He does everything right, and he's cut down for what 80% of nikkas that ever stepped into Vince's do.

'Scust @ the hatred for him. REY DA GAWD!!!

Hopefully this slimmer version doesn't break down as easily as his fat version did. Just stay in the game long enough for one more title, Rey Rey

Rey was a heel with the filthy animals in WCW for whatever that's worth

He's fun to make fun of but you can't deny his body of work with a straight face (pause if applicable)


He has a lot of classic/near classics on his jacket


Young Rey Mysterio was like a wrestling version of young Vince Carter dude was doing worthy shyt like it was nothing every night





-P-

 

[ThatKidBlackHippy]

Yes, Rey is easily one of the best to ever wrestle in the ring. Dude in his prime is still > any high flyer type wrestler.

He needs to bow out gracefully tho, but if he still wanna stack his paper then let him do his thing.
