Rey Fenix

[10.0] "An unfortunate case for him due to his booking being horrendous by WWE (and he burnt bridges from going back to AEW) but regardless of his situation he is pretty good. EDIT: it has been a couple of months since making this post, WWE actually gave this guy a chance and hes been in one hell of a run since then."

[8.0] "Him and Penta are great but you could definitely tell which has more profit potential. Now that doesn't mean Rey is a bad wrestler or anything i think he pretty good but I think his ceiling in WWE is upper mid card and lower main event scene."

[6.0] "Hurts to cut him down from the 10 i gave him 5 years ago, but he's no different than any other luchador in WWE right now other than his brother. Dragon Lee gets more shine than him. You may say that it's erroneous to dock him because of his booking, but the timehe has been given hasn't seen him get particularly over, so i gotta go for the good not great grade. Sorry Fenix."

[10.0] "This dude is the real deal. His greatest foe? BOOKING! Finding the right matchups just seems to be his biggest challenge (and he always makes his opponents look AMAZING! )"

[7.0] "Rey Fenix needs help by his bookers. I hope he has a breakthrough moment soon. he has such a good moveset, entrance theme, look etc. It is just a matter of getting everything together and giving him a push so he can show what he has."

[6.0] "I know I am in the minority here but I've always believed Rey Fenix was the better brother in the ring but I don't know what happened because last great performance I saw of him was back in 2022 against El Hijo Del Vikingo around November. I don't know what happened to him because for someone in his mid 30s to have this massive dip in performances is a bit odd but I will be here hoping for a resurgence"

[9.0] "Revising my rating down from 10 (? ) to 9. Rey Fenix is an amazing luchadore who is capable of incredible feats of athleticism and body control. He's had some really good matches, especially tag team matches. I loved his run in Lucha Underground and with the Lucha Bros in AEW. He did make a poor career move in joining the company that doesn't care as much about in-ring wrestling, leaving him as a "faceless" (heh) luchadore with nothing that makes him stand out. But put him in the right context and I think Fenix could still prove he is a top tier wrestler."

[9.0] "He's the better in ring worker of the lucha brothers, but man him going to WWE was such a mistake, in my opinion. I obviously understand why he may want to be there as his brother is doing amazing right now, but for him? He's being booked like he's any other luchador, which is absoloutely absurd. His booking during his final year in AEW wasn't good either, but WWE isn't always the solution. At the height of his career he looked like one of the best on the planet. As much as I love him, I haven't seen that in WWE, but it's very hard to blame him. Getting put in the MFT vortex has never benefited one person."

[5.0] "Man, this guy messed up so bad by going to WWE. Talk about a fall from grace, at one point it felt like Rey Fenix was destined to become the next Rey Mysterio, a lunchador that gained massive world championship level success in the USA. The Lucha Bros. in AEW were amazing, between them FTR and the Young Bucks the AEW tag team scene was the best maybe of all time. But then himself and Penta left for WWE, and they have done absolutely nothing of significance since. You are seriously telling me that in a company with barely any tag teams of note outside of the Usos and New Day, WWE cant find a way to give the Lucha Bros a tag title reign? Absolutely pathetic laziness from Triple H. Of course WWE split them up because they don't care about tag team wrestling and never have, but Rey isn't even getting a singles push, making the whole thing a waste of time. Somehow WWE hasn't given one of the best luchadors in the world anything of note to hang his hat on in the company. Since joining he's barely wrestled much and lost about as many matches as he's won. Rey is like most things in WWE these days, directionless. It's just sad because at one point Rey Fenix was Top 5 in the world, nobody could do what he could in the ring, as a singles star or in a tag team. But now he feels like a total afterthought. I understand he's had a lot of injuries and he might not be able to go to the same degree he used to, but they way he's been handled in WWE is really unforgivable. Then again, maybe he is just cashing out, can't say he didn't earn it. But now it's beyond clear Rey (and Penta) were signings strictly to keep them away from AEW, there was never a plan not a desire from Triple H or TKO to use their talents. Shameful."

[10.0] "Look at these recent scores and comments for Fenix! What have WWE done to perhaps the greatest luchador of all time? It's inhumane..."

[7.0] "He's very very very good at the high flying style. He's a master of it. But that's all he is the master of. He hasn't even come close to mastering any other facet of the art form. His score on here is narrow minded in that it only accounts for how impressive his aerial abilities are. That's not enough for 9+."

[6.0] "he can do the flips (maybe better than anyone else? ) and his mask is one of the coolest in modern lucha, but there is nothing about Rey Fenix that makes him truly stand out as a performer"

[9.0] "Like his brother I fell in love with me in Lucha Underground, but I always found him a little step behind Pentagon, nonetheless he is a very very good wrestler"

[10.0] "Rey Fenix is easily one of the best luchadores of all time, the stuff that he does in the ring is unbelievable and other worldly, his tag team with his brother Penta, the Lucha Bros are one of the greatest tag teams ever, Fenix is truly an generational talent."

[5.0] "Rey Fenix is a solid luchador in a time where being a solid luchador isn't enough, all while being in a company filled with talented luchadors. His work is okay, he has a tendency to no-sell offence which makes his opponents look shitty. He doesn't have a good look. Athletic skinny guy with tattoos, how many wrestlers are we describing there? As a tag team duo with Penta, he's good. Outside of that, he should try and find something to stand out more."

"8/10. Rey Fenix is to me the more athletic of the two in Lucha Brothers, his brother Penta is more of the charisma, the main face of the tag team, which makes it hard for Fenix to stand out as a singles star imo. Don't get me wrong he can bring the house down in singles matches, check his stuff against Osprey. He also has a bad habit of getting injured more often than Penta as well. Personally love Fenix in Lucha Bros and as a singles, he's athletic and can make for entertaining matches, just needs more promo work and charisma like his brother."

[9.0] "Rey Fenix is one of the most electric and innovative high flyers of his generation. His body control, creativity, and fearlessness in the ring are unmatched. Whether it's a singles match or tag bout, he brings insane energy and can make any opponent look like a million bucks. His chemistry with Penta is legendary, but he's also proven he can go solo and deliver bangers. Injuries have slowed him at times, but when healthy, he's a true spectacle and one of the most exciting performers to watch."

[8.0] "I love a bit of Fenix and will be sad to see him go. By a country mile he is better than his brother. A shame he never got a proper singles push in AEW as the talent was there. A shame injuries always seemed to get in his way."

[9.0] "The guy is a awesome highflyer. Not just that, he is a awesome wrestler when it comes to anything. He flies, he catches, he wrestles, he carries. The reason he isn't a ten is because of his charisma. But overall, he is a 9.5"

[9.0] "Upon seeing few of Rey Fenix matches, both as singles and as a tag team, safe to say that he is one of the most spectacular highflyers amongst most luchadores. Although, luchadores are well known for excessive use of flashy spots, Fenix can make most of his moves very important to the matches he performed. His team-up with Penta El Zero Miedo, also known as the Lucha Brothers, are the most exciting and one of the best luchadores tag team in all of pro-wrestling. Seeing them fought the Young Bucks showed how much of an amazing chemistry these two teams got. Fenix is obviously the stand-out of the two and brought amazing highlights on most of their matches. Fenix reminded me of a young Rey Mysterio due to his abilities and I believe that Fenix fits to be the next Rey Mysterio, which means he could be the next top successful worldwide luchador if booked right. The only guys that I can think of that somehow can match Fenix's highflying abilities is El Hijo del Vikingo, which is another talented young luchador. Also, I love his edgy style and calling his opponents, "ZERO MIEDO" which means "No Fear" in Spanish. His personality showed that he is not just some generic luchador that we most commonly saw on lucha libre wrestling. Truly an excellent performer and always a blast when I see him on his matches."

[10.0] "There are definitely more "flippy" guys out there than Rey Fenix but he may be the master of the ropes even still. It really looks like he defies gravity at times. I think him and his brother should be solidly in the world title picture wherever they go."

[7.0] "I used to be a big fan of Fenix, especially in Lucha Underground when I was a kid, but as Ive grown up, Ive cooled off on this flaming bird. Hes still good, but in AEW, hes far less well-rounded of a wrestler than he was in Lucha Underground and it makes me sad because Ive seen him at his best."

[0.0] "I used to like him but he's been nothing but an injury prone. Not only that but he also managed to injure the ace of All Elite Wrestling aka Jon Moxley and ruined the International title. At this point I hope they take the title from him and put it on someone who can actually wrestle and be safe."

[10.0] "The thing that puts Fenix over the top of other luchadors that can perform hair-raising dives like him is that he has a constant smoothness, basically everything he does looks like he took the time to practice it, which makes it look death defying, while at the same time looking as though he was born with the ability to do it, it can look as though he doesn't even prepare himself. His tornillos are always incredible, his handspring cutter always looks impactful and despite a language barrier, he talks with a style that shows he's hungry for the top spot."

[8.0] "Fenix is a great luchador. Fenix has a great high-flying style and can be a great tag specialist or a singles star. His athletic ability is amazing, and he has a good move set. He understands pro wrestling with good selling and psychology."

[10.0] "Easily one of the most exciting to watch wrestlers in all of wrestling and whether as a singles or tag guy Fenix almost always has the match of the night. Him and Penta have been one of my favorite tag teams ever since I discovered them and I adored his run in Lucha Underground."

[9.0] "Rey Fenix is a fantastic luchadore. Incredibly athletic and when he's on, oh boy is he fun to watch. Sometimes his matches devolve into spot-fests though, and he has had some issues with selling sometimes. I can quibble with parts of his act, but his ceiling is well above almost anybody else's."

[8.0] "[Update from 10.0 to 9.0 to 8.0] Year after year, I like him less and less. His flaws become more noticeable over time in-ring and that's pretty much his main highlight is his in-ring ability. Still an exceptional talent, but I'm getting kind of bored of the same spots every match. [Old Review]: Best high flyer in the world, full stop! How the hell is Fenix this good! He can do moves I've never even seen before, things I question how it's even possible, and can wrestle an incredible match with just about anyone. The only one that embodies Zero Miedo more than Penta is his brother Fenix because he does things I think even Ospreay or the Bucks would think twice about. Fenix is my favorite luchador and that about sums it up."

[5.0] "Admittedly he's visually amazing in the ring and has some insanely good moves but his whole style requires too much cooperation from opponents and his selling is bad. I'm not sure if he knows how to tell a story in a match or not because he's always been in an environment where it's all about getting all your spots and reversals in so there's never any story to it anyway. All the moves just blend together and just numb you to his matches. I should be popping hardest for the last move, not the first."

[9.0] "Always great tag matches and singles matches. Was lucky enough to see him right before aew and now he is a superstar. He is really awesome."

[9.0] "Possibly the best to be wearing a mask at this current moment and has enough credit to be an all time luchador by the time he stops wrestling"

[5.0] "The definition of a spot monkey. Sadly, his matches only work if you completely turn off your brain and stop thinking while watching his matches. He has potential but for now, I cannot really say that I am a fan of his."

[10.0] "One of the best flyers of a generation. It's like he's going out there and trying something new every night and I appreciate it. The label of spot monkey is a buzzword in the community but that has never once fit him. All his flying has impact and meaning to his matches and the best part is he isnt just limited to that. The dude has worked many guys with different styles to him and has always delivered huge. Nothing but respect"

[8.0] "Fenix pulls off incredible looking moves on a weekly basis, but I prefer Penta over the two. I feel there's something lacking in the cohesiveness in Fenix's matches, and he isn't as charismatic as Penta."

[10.0] "No doubt best high-flyer in the world at this moment and he has the potential of replacing Rey Misterio as the best luchador of all time in my opinion. He's very young and has years to create a respectable career, but for now, he still deserves a 10."

[8.0] "Not going to factor in his promo work as he rarely cuts them in English and I am not fluent in Spanish. Super fluid high flyer. Think of the craziest spot you can and Rey Fenix has had a part in it. Absolutely breathtaking at his best, injured or a little clunky at his worst. If he can find safer ways to utilize his talents he easily becomes a 9 or 10."

[10.0] "Might be the best Highflyer in the world for the past few years. He has one of my favorite movesets ever and a lot of his moves are really difficult but he almost never botches them. Just an incredible performer."

[8.0] "Seems a little bit overrated on here. Has good matches but theyre all the exact same. Not great on the mic but hes a really good high flyer. I cant give him a 10 or a 9."

[9.0] "I cant give him a 10 because of the mic skills, but this guy is the best high-flyer out there and one of the best performers as well. He is second to none in lucha libre and high-flying maneuvers, and he has an amazing command of the ropes. He sells very well and he knows how to tell a story."

[8.0] "Absolutely a great wrestler, and one of the best pure high-flyers ever, but DAMN is he overexposed in AEW. The dude insists on making every single match he has -- from his throwaway Rampage multi-man tags, to his Dynamite singles matches, to his big PPV matches -- feature every single flip and aerial stunt imaginable. Don't get me wrong, because I'll still find myself in awe at some of the absurdly athletic stuff he's capable of, but it absolutely loses its effect when he basically gives an "all out epic war" performance every time he's in the ring. This sadly means that when his biggest matches finally come, such as the Lucha-Bros-vs-Bucks cage match, all his crazy stunts feel less impactful because they're established as only being slight variations on stuff that we've seen him do a million times before. It almost sounds like I'm saying to Fenix: "UGH STOP BEING GREAT EVERY TIME YOU WORK! ", but I'm really commenting on a severe lack of creativity and long-term pacing that I see in him. With him being as agile and flashy as he is, he could easily add in a far greater number of less "EPIC" but still flashy and impressive athletic spots into his lesser matches so as to keep those matches fresh while still allowing him to appropriately save his craziest and most risky spots for his truly biggest matches. I'll definitely still marvel whenever he hits any of his beautiful spots, but at the same time I'll continue to be annoyed at him giving essentially the exact same performance in every single match regardless of the stipulation, story, setting, or opponent(s). If he ever manages to figure out when and when not to go "all out", and/or if he ever manages to noticeably inject some more creativity into his style, then he'll easily end up with a higher rating."

[10.0] "Stiff, rugged, and somehow still refined in his own way, Rey Fenix overcomes the pitfalls many spot monkey high flyers fall into. He uses his stiff strikes and grappling to set up the high spots, and earns it in a way others don't."

[10.0] "One of the very best high flyers of the last several years, no wrestler has ever mastered the ropes like Fenix. He makes even the most complex of maneuvers look effortless, and he understands how to time his spots perfectly in order to get the audience invested. He is about tied with (and probably slightly ahead of) Hijo del Vikingo for best Mexican wrestler in the world today."

[10.0] "Definitely one of my favorite wrestlers in AEW at the moment. The stuff he is able to do always amazes me. He is very smooth technically and is able to shine in singles and tag team matches."

[10.0] "Greatest luchador of the modern era, just an amazing high flyer! I hope one day he becomes a singles champion in aew."

[10.0] "I'd say he is the best active luchador at the moment. Amazing in tag and singles action. Does things that defy logic and rarely botches considering how many crazy moves he pulls off. He's awesome."

[9.0] "One of the most original and insane wrestlers of this generation. Rey Fenix's high-flying is fantastic, his moveset is essentially if all of Rey Mysterio's moves were to MURDER his opponents! Lucha Bros are fantastic, love their style and chemisty but Fenix has a very bright future ahead as a singles wrestler as well. His match with Kenny Omega for the AEW title is still one of the best matches of 2021. But he also had a FANTASTIC match against Lance Archer, proving he can hang with anyone in the business and be believable. May end up a 10 in the end but he's already legendary."

[10.0] "Hands down the best luchador I have ever seen. Easily one of the most if not, the most entertaining talent in AEW. Both a tag team specialist and an amazing singles wrestler. The most versatile wrestler and the best and most consistent performer of AEW since its inception. Fenix continues to impress and deliver every single time in the ring."

[10.0] "Unbelievable. He's just an incredible athlete. I love this little guy like you wouldn't believe. Top luchador of the current day."

[10.0] "Fenix is our generation's Rey Mysterio. He does things in the ring that no one would ever dream of and he's got physical charisma for days. He's a legend in the making."

[10.0] "Rey Fenix may be the most fun to watch wrestler today, maybe even of all time when it's all said and done."
