Rey Mysterio

[10.0] "This guy is truly the GOAT. 51 years old and still putting weekly bangers every week. Fantastic wrestler."

[7.0] "It's Rey Mysterio what else can you say about the Lucha legend himself. He has some fantastic rivalries against Eddie Guerrero Psicosis Dean Malenko, Jushin Thunder Liger Kurt Angle and many others. The fact that he can still put on a good match at his age is insane got to give him props."

[0.0] "A carny legend who refuses to gracefully retire, stubbornly blocking television time and marquee roster spots from younger talent who desperately need the reps to develop. He bounces around doing the 619 on autopilot while looking like a tired museum piece holding up traffic on the highway of modern wrestling. A stubborn veteran who tarnishes his own legacy by lingering long after his body and timing have completely deserted him on national television. What is this flying dragon. How did he even get more than 8 while there a lot more talent wrestlers with low rating than him. a useless one to ever exist."

[10.0] "This man was wrestling on Nitro, yet you could show any 10 year old today a Rey Mysterio match and they'd probably fall in love with this ageless wonder. From my childhood to now he has done nothing other than make me smile. He is a terrible god damned promo but it's only endeared me more to him over the years and he is capable of good character work, as seen against Brock, Eddie, Batista, or recently Dominik. That alone makes him compelling enough and has really solidified him as the lovable legend he is."

[10.0] "The best if the not the best to ever do it in ring. Sure, he isn't excellent but he make up for it by his in ring skills. Rey Mysterio is truly is goat when it comes to matches. Even today he puts on great matches."

[10.0] "Used to have Rey rated as a 9, but after seeing his latest matches I really can't understand why I ever gave him that rating. Rey is a legend, and is still delivering great matches in his bloody 50s!"

[10.0] "How can you not give him a high rating, almost 40 years of in ring experience and he looks great still, 51 years old soon to be 52 and he moves better than some guys in their early 20's, he's not the best on the mic but I'll overlook that for how long he has been great, brought huge popularity to lucha Libre as well. And he had surgery 5 times on his left knee (5 times, 5 times, 5 times, 5 times, 5 times)"

[10.0] "The absolute GOAT of lucha libre. No debate. One of the guys that made high flyers cool. He doesn't often get mentioned in overall GOAT convos, but he defo should be. What a legend!"

[10.0] "absolute all-time legend. Him being at this rating is crazy, he is one of the top wrestlers of all time and Rey really deserves his flowers. He has consistently performed amazingly wherever he's been but his run in WWE is legendary and is still wrestling after putting together a Hall of Fame career. At this point he is giving John Cena a run for his money if we are talking about GOAT status."

[10.0] "Alright, come on. How can you not put 10 to this guy. Rey Mysterio has been only getting better over his overall career. At 51 years old, he can bring shame onto highflyers half his age, Rey Mysterio is pure insanity. Even if his career isn't iconic, the guy is, and thankfully nowadays he is more recognised than ever."

[10.0] "Arguably one of the most recognized Luchador around the world.it's like if you see a masked wrestler pepole will always say Rey Mysterio.Even though in his 50's Hes still delivering good matches..Yes He can't move like he used to but that's because of his age but, He will go down as the greatest luchador of all time. and one of the best wrestlers of all time"

[10.0] "A penultimate luchador. Was able to do it all; whether coming off like a badass, plucky underdog riding his way to victory or getting jobbed out to larger men in the most brutal, gnarly manners imaginable. His longevity, especially considering his style, is absolutely insane. His mic work was always passionate and able to be resonated with."

[9.0] "Rey Rey rules. It's impossible not to like the guy. A career spanning over thirty years and most of it (aside from his most famous stretch, ironically enough) is pure gold. I dunno how he managed it, but the man simply had in-ring chemistry with everyone. One of those rare wrestlers I can pick a completely random match from and enjoy it every time."

[10.0] "Viva la 619! The highlight of every Royal Rumble he entered. I will be heartbroken when he retires, but I hope it's to Dom."

[10.0] "always is going to be controversial with a subset of online wrestling fans because he is a guy who has been more or less a WWE lifer, which you COULD say has limited his style and potential for insane 5 star performances, but i really think you gotta give it up for Rey, man. it is extremely hard to think of anyone still working today with his pedigree. instrumental in getting highflying cruiserweight stuff over in the USA (obviously this can turn into a whole discussion about the WCW cruiserweight division but there's no question as to who the star there was) and an inspiration to countless other lucha guys out there right now doing incredible stuff. possesses a gigantic catalogue of matches that are no worse than "fun to watch" and often are a lot better than that, which to me kind of offsets his kind of wahtever characterwork and some of the more down moments in his career. love this guy."

[9.0] "9.5/10 from me, Accomplishments - 9, Charisma/Character Work - 9, Cultural Significance - 10, In-Ring Skills - 9.5, Longevity - 10 and Move-Set - 8.5 = 9.3 rounded down to 9/10."

"One of, if not the most skilled wrestler of all time. Rey Mysterio is awesome at what he doeseven at age 51 he still does his crazy high risk moves he has been doing since the 90s and 2000s and still sells a great match. 10/10 wrestler in my eyes"

[10.0] "One of the best wrestlers of all time, Rey mysterio started wrestling when he was 14 years old and still performs as if he's in his prime nowadays at 51 he is an absolute legend and I am surprised that he's only rated 8.59 here which I believe he's easily a 10"

[6.0] "I ain't gonna lie I have always rated Rey Mysterio so highly in the ring but on the microphone or even as a character he ain't it. He's just there. Nothing special. And never was a believable threat to any of his opponents. He has the ability to build up some good feuds though"

"My first ever wrestling match I saw was Royal Rumble 2006 on Youtube three years after it happened (2009), when Mysterio walked out as number 2 I became a fan immediately, then he won and I was like hell yeah :D."

[10.0] "The ultimate underdog, the best luchador of all time and one of my personal favourites of all time. Rey Mysterio brought the Lucha Libre style to the United States and wowed crowds with moves never seen before. You can't help but route for him in every big time match he's been part of and he's gone through more punishment and betrayal than any other superstar. I hate the fact that he's been screwed over many times purely because of his size, especially in his initial run. Lackluster world title reigns and a fairly disappointing WrestleMania history bar one or two, Rey has deserved better than this. He has some of best looking ring gear in the business too. Still going strong even past age 50, Rey is no doubt a legend"

[8.0] "Arguably the greatest luchador in history, at least in American promotions. Undeniably skilled, Rey provided countless memorable moments, and garnered an international fanbase both because of his natural charisma but also because of his unforgettable attires. Unfortunately, injuries tampered his career, but nonetheless I can't help but be appreciative towards the man and his accomplishments. I'm just glad to see him still going."

[10.0] "He can still roll at fifty some odd years old. With all due respect to Mil Mascaras, El Santo, Blue Demon, Dr. Wagner Jr. etc, Rey Mysterio is THE single greatest luchador of all time. In theory, he probably shouldn't be able to, because he basically has no knees left and an abundance of injuries. But, much respect to him. Ten is a perfect rating for him."

[5.0] "Hard for me to keep interest in him as a character. His character is absolutely cultivated with the aim of getting over with children. That makes it difficult for me to maintain any serious interest in him. He's also very bad at promos. He's a 5 and nearly all the weight of that 5 is being carried by his in ring ability. Albeit, that is sort of overrated, it still is very much the bulk of his value."

[10.0] "Not sure how this legend is only an 8.5 on this platform. Arguably the most influential pro-wrestler of the last 25 years. His high-flying offense is not only innovative, but it also doesn't look excessive, unlike some modern luchadors. A lot of Mysterio's offense is reactive, flashy, but also meaningful, and that's what simple lucha wrestling is all about. He hardly indulged in a million Canadian destroyers for the sake of lucha wrestling. Also, one of the best TV workers of all time, and his longevity ranks with the likes of Blue Panther and Mascaras. Anything less than 10 is a crime."

[10.0] "One of the best to ever do it, imo. There's not a ton of people that can get a good match out of pretty much anyone, but Rey is one of those people imo."

[7.0] "in sorrry but over all heis on consistent enough to be an all-time if ihe wals say negro or Black terry[ Rip] and utter great match in to 50 and in the cae pf ther other two there 60s then yes i dont remember any Rey match post hos first AAA run and some in wcw and ecw that i would call top level hes never in my personal running fr wrestler of the year never even in top 20 sometimes in side top 100 for a crisier of his era he was never that influencal and or innovative the tiger faint kick is tiger masks move and the rana is aorund 15 years older than rey is[ if not older ] Daniel "Hurrican Ramirez " Garcia innovated that high 6 low seven"

[10.0] "My GOAT , the best high flyer of all time, best luchador, and still at 50 years old stills moves like a 20 year old rey, its incredible that in wwe he is still a babyface loved by everyone after more than 20 years since his debut in wwe, great matches in ECW, WCW and WWE and showed to other wrestlers that even if you're small, you can achieve greatness."

[10.0] "One of the best luchadores ever. This man is truly special. There isn't a single thing he can't do, from the high-flying stuff, to the technical one. And by the way, he's 50 years old, wrestling like a 35-year-old one. Legendary and timeless."

[10.0] "Unreal longevity with a great peak too. One of the very best to ever do it, truly. All time great underdog"

[10.0] "One of the greatest of his generation and for my money the greatest high flyer in the history of this business. The man's longevity and drawing ability have made him a staple within the industry for 4 decades. A prodigy that comes along every so often Mysterio revolutionized what a luchador and high flyer was supposed to be mixing brilliant athletics with psychology and storytelling. One of the greatest baby faces of all time and one of the greatest wrestlers of all time."

[10.0] "How have I not rated this guy yet? Pretty much THE standard of lucha libre (int he modern day at least) and a reason as to why my childhood was awesome and why I love wrestling. Forever one the greatest to ever do it, and one of, if not the, greatest lucha libre of all time."

[10.0] "Perhaps the most well-known and popular luchador of the modern era, Rey Mysterio is undoubtedly the G.O.A.T of the smaller guys and also the G.O.A.T of the Luchadores (with respect to El Santo and guys who came before him) but Rey Mysterio is probably this generations El Santo."

[9.0] "Rey Mysterio is what happens when a luchador collides with a pinball machine and somehow becomes a superhero. Standing at 5'6" and weighing roughly one steel chair, he's the ultimate proof that size does not matter--especially when you're bouncing off ropes, flipping over giants, and dropkicking logic into the 619 area code. Let's be real: Rey Mysterio has been defying physics, time, and Father Time himself since the 90s. This man has had more comebacks than Windows updates. Just when you think he's slowed down, BAM--springboard crossbody outta nowhere, and you're questioning your own cardio for getting tired just watching him."

[9.0] "Almost always loved Rey Mysterio! He was ahead of his time and is probably the most recognizable luchador worldwide. He was extremely innovative and when he was at a healthy size he was incredible. He had a couple of bad years in WWE when he got to large for his frame, but now that he is at a comfortable size he has barely lost many steps. He was always one of my favorites and seems like a lovely person as well!"

[8.0] "Rey Mysterio is the definition of timeless. From ECW and WCW to WWE and beyond, he's innovated at every level without ever losing his identity. Despite being undersized, he became a world champion and a locker room leader through sheer talent and heart. Rey never needed ego-driven storylines or to hog the spotlight -- he quietly delivered classics for decades and still makes his opponents look better. He's aged with grace, dignity, and speed most guys 20 years younger can't touch."

[9.0] "Easily the greatest masked wrestler that WWE has ever seen. He is devoted to being a wrestler for as long as his body can keep up and he has shown little sign of slowing down. His torn groin the day before his WrestleMania match against El Grande Americano is unfortunate but not his fault in any way. He can tell compelling stories, is a loveable underdog, and has brought his son Dom into the company giving us the most hated heel of the modern era."

"[10.0] The real GOAT of professional wrestling -- there is no one who has been such a trailblazer and innovator putting on all-time and classic matches for as long as he has: three-and-a-half decades. Psychosis, Tajiri, Matt Hardy, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, CM Punk, Andrade, Edge--shit, even his random tag team with Big Show in 2014 was over and exceeded expectations: the catalogue is endless and I have really only seen his American work. I just wish he was taken seriously as a talent but we all know how racist, callous, disrespectful the WWE has been and still is. His influence is quintessential in the likes of the names people put onto Mount Rushmores. He is wrestling. Legend in every sense of the word. Time has done Rey Rey well. There is no way he shouldn't be in the high end of the Top 100 on this website."

[8.0] "One of the greatest high flyers of all time, he was always a fan favorite for children although some sports in his career were a little messy at some points"

[10.0] "One of the most influential wrestlers of all time, with a career spanning more than 32 (uninterrupted! ) years, even though he started wrestling earlier than that. I know it's just a big number on the page, but the average being less than 9 still feels disrespectful."

[10.0] "My GOAT. The dude that got me into wrestling. Got that "Biggest Little Man" DVD and completely fell in love with the style. Obviously he's slowed down as time has gone on but the fact that he's hit 50 and is still putting up solid work pretty regularly is impressive. Shame that WWE never really got him quite right as a world champ, but oh well. Gonna miss him when he retires. 10/10"

[10.0] "If it was anyone else, it wouldn't have worked. The most famous luchador of all time. Anytime i've watched wrestling with a non-wrestling fan and a luchador popped up on the screen, the same question was asked. I don't even have to say it for you to know what i'm talking about. Been at the top for 30 years, and can outwork 75% of the roster today at the age of 50"

"One of the greatest to ever do it. Rey has been putting on classics since day 1 and it's awesome to see that he's still preforming to this day."

[10.0] "Hall of Fame match catalogue, jaw-dropping moveset, and he has legend status. He's proof that age truly doesn't matter when it comes to professional wrestling, and you can still be good. He was a Babyface for nearly his entire career and the fans never turned on him. He's literally so synonymous with masks, that every time a non-wrestling fan sees a luchador, they automatically assume it's him."

"One of the greatest luchador's of all time! wrestles like a man half his age with plenty years left in the tank."

[10.0] "What a legend, the most influential and best luchador oat, a phenom who turned his size into his best strength, an amazing wrestler, his ring skills are so good that even at the age of 50 he can still hoop"

[9.0] "For me, Rey is the best luchador of all time! For a person of his height, it's impressive how he could transform a "weakness" into a "strength". With his great agility, he could made some moves that was never seen before and make the match more fun to watch. Unfortunately, the only reason why I don't put a 10, it's because of his mic skills. It's not horrible, but it's not good too. And I think, that's the reason why he never had a very good storyline in his career. Nevertheless, Rey Mysterio is the guy that makes me love pro wrestling since I was kid, and for that, thank you Rey!"

[9.0] "Rey Mysterio walked so that modern wrestlers of the same style could run. An amazing career, where he clearly honed his craft as years went by. More than 30 years later, he is still performing at an amazing level, as if his gas tank was still full."

"A truly great luchador at WWE for so many years. Definitely a fan favorite and a natural babyface. Personally, he is the hero of my childhood, small yet agile, powerful and inspiring. Find it amazing the fact hes still performing well nowadays at almost 50 years old !"

"Rey is a legend in the business. Deserving WWE Hall Of Famer, and he's held every title available. In the twilight of his career he has become a guy who can be relied on to make sure the next guy can get over. He's a deadbeat father but that even helped get his own son over."
