“Rey Mysterio will rightfully receive his place in the WWE Hall of Fame as a tribute to his career as one of the greatest WWE stars in history”, said by James Sweetnam.
Biggest Little Man in WWE:
A sport where one build usually reigned supreme, ‘The Biggest Little Man in the WWE’ proved that anyone can succeed with the right amount of talent. With his astonishing fighting spirit and high-flying ability in the ring, the proverbial underdog won the hearts of fans around the globe with his incredible likability.
As well as his devastating 619, the icon overcame the odds numerous times. His most famous moment occurred when he won the 2006 Royal Royal Rumble. He threw Randy Orton over the top rope in an incredible upset that got him into Wrestlemania’s main event.
Performances:
He continued his incredible run by pinning Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
The victory cemented Mysterio’s place among the best to ever do it, but he wasn’t done yet. ‘The Master of the 619’ finished Jack Swagger in a Fatal-4-Way to claim the title for the second time. Additionally, he won the WWE strap after defeating The Miz in the final.
During his illustrious career, he went to war with Eddie Guerrero over his son Dominik Mysterio.
In a ladder match, the 5 ft 7 superstar won custody of the boy. However, he had no idea what the boy would become.
As the family name is on the line, Mysterio must put the youngster in his place. However, doing that will be easier said than done after Dominik betrayed his father at Clash of the Castle.
About Rey:
It’s Rey Mysterio’s 48th birthday on Dec. 11. Even though he’s almost 50, he’s still flying around the ring like a teenager. Hopefully Dominic can learn something from his father about the importance of longevity in the business, because whatever Rey does is working.
The legendary Rey Mysterio has captivated audiences around the world for over 35 years with a unique wrestling style that has been imitated but never duplicated.
For Rey to be announced as a Hall of Famer in the middle of his career is a testament to his immense impact on wrestling as a whole.
