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

[Black Thunder]

because he's a little man in a big mans business

if he wasnt mexican he wouldnt even be allowed into the arenas without parental supervision

 

[Takerstani]

He's become like a slightly taller Hornswoggle to me the last few years that it's hard to remember how he was when I was a fan.

No one with a Jesus chain tattoo can be considered the GOAT.

 

[Ace Money]

I have no clue why,but he's more than deserving...

He could've been the Japanese equivilent of Mysterio in the E. Smh

 

[TRIPLE M]

Why cant he just go heel? all the greats did

He did in wcw.when he had the devil horns and tigress

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

He's one of the worst ever on the mic probably, that don't help

5'3" heels that can't talk don't make much sense.

Misterio is one of the reasons why I'm such a huge fan of wrestling, so I'll always consider him one of the greatest and most influential personally, along with the fact that he was probably the main factor in why the Cruiserweight style gained such traction in the US (The Psicosis series, Halloween Havoc '97 vs. Eddy, his stuff vs. Ultimo Dragon, etc.). Hell, he was even great in his first 4 years in WWE (Watch some of that 2002 work sometime, including a candidate for greatest opening match of all time vs. Kurt Angle at SummerSlam '02). It's just that, after bulking up and the multiple knee surgeries that sapped his ability, I really want him to retire for his own health.

As for Ultimo Dragon, he inspired a whole style of wrestling with Toryumon/Dragon Gate, as well as being the reason why Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Misterio and Psicosis (partially) really started to get on in the mid-90s with his booking of WAR. Not to mention what he did for the WCW Cruiserweight division. If you don't think Ultimo is a legend, you don't know wrestling history.

great thread,.....

i really wish the real arthur barr and rey rey.

could have squared off in at least wcw once.

as the real art barr was more advanced and innovative moveset wise than rey rey.

as he did everything rey could do and more, actually.


yet rey rey would have made an incredible feud for the real:

Hmmm...possible spinoff thread,bruhs? Who's the GOAT cruiser weight?

 

[PTBG]

Because Rey is the GOAT little man in wrestling history and I don't give a fukk, he is the GOAT cruiser-weight too. The dude has so many fukking classics at every company he has been at and in his prime, ain't no cruiser-weight ain't fukkin' with Rey and no joke, as an in-ring performer, I got him close to top 10 ever in my book. Now, injuries and him "muscling up" has ruined him and can't go like he used to, but the dude can get over anyone and make them look like stars. I think people are just tired of that "oh my, how can Rey beat the bigger guy" and the "David vs. Goliath" match-up and he is a face, which a lot of people hate and don't like in the WWE. But, he is cool with me for life
