Is Rey Mysterio The Most Consistent, Good Wrestler In WWE?

By Matthew Martinez
To be honest....Rey is VERY boring.............you can predict the outcome of the match while he is walking down the ramp....when you have a wrestler who can make you predict the match before it happens....that wrestler needs to go *cough* CENA *cough*

I really do not care if you like Cena or not or even Rey....You need wrestlers who can keep you on your toes...

WWE gets a D- or an F for predictability!


Yeah, because everybody KNEW that there was no way Hulk Hogan would be able to beat King Kong Bundy at WrestleMania 2. And everyone thought Stone Cold had no hope at besting Mr. McMahon. And that John Cena sure is predictable. I mean, look at all of the PPV matches he's won lately!

That was sarcasm. I feel the need to tell you that because you're clearly an idiot.

Now onto the greatest showman in the WWE in the past decade, Rey. Fucking. Mysterio. That's right, I said it, the greatest wrestler. He may never have drawn like Triple H, John Cena, or Shawn Michaels, but between the ropes that man put on some of the best matches ever seen, and he did so consistently. If you're going to a WWE show and Rey Mysterio is wrestling, you can be damn sure that you'll get at least one match on that card that you'll remember for years to come. My greatest regret is that I've never seen Rey Mysterio wrestle live. Well, it might not be my greatest regret, but it's certainly my greatest regret in terms of wrestling.

Go on, name somebody who puts on great matches more consistently than Rey Mysterio. CM Punk? He's good, but before his work with Orton he hardly had any matches worth remembering. Orton? Over the past year maybe, but he still has a dud every now and again, and he has years of shitty wrestling to make up for. Your best bet would be Shawn Michaels, but HBK had the good fortune to get to work with some of the best wrestlers the WWE had to offer. Triple H, Benoit, Cena, Jericho, and those are only a few. Rey often is tasked with wrestling with the younger, less experienced guys that might not know how to put on a great match. But, inevitably, Rey ALWAYS gets a great match out of them.

Between WrestleMania 26 and SummerSlam of this year, Rey consistently had some of the best matches on the cards, and arguably had THE best match at WrestleMania 27. But it's not just recently that Rey has had great matches in the WWE. Look at his work with Eddie, or with Edge when they were tag team partners. Watch his matches in WCW against Eddie or Jericho or Juvi. Throughout his career Rey has put on some of the best matches you will ever see.

Now this may just sound like silly gushing, but go watch Halloween Havoc 1997, Rey vs. Eddie Guerrero, and tell me that wasn't a great match. Or watch just about any match where he teams with Edge. Or really, any match that has Rey Mysterio in the title will do, because Mysterio strikes gold in the ring no matter what.
