WWE Bio

He stands only 5-foot-6 and barely weighs 175 pounds, but a lack of size hasn’t stopped the incomparable Rey Mysterio from achieving giant dreams, like capturing the WWE Championship or outlasting 30 Superstars to win the Royal Rumble. Whether he’s standing up to a dangerous giant like Kane or flying down from the top of a steel cage, The Ultimate Underdog is a competitor who refuses to be intimidated. Trained in the proud Mexican tradition of lucha libre before he was even old enough to drive, Rey Mysterio adopted his ring name in tribute to his uncle and hid his face under a mask as lucha custom dictates. In a world of hooded high-flyers, the exhilarating Mysterio stood out enough to earn the attention of ECW and WCW where his thrilling bouts with such rivals as Eddie Guerrero and Psicosis became the stuff of legend among sports-entertainment fans. His greatest successes, however, were realized after joining WWE in 2002. First establishing himself in the cruiserweight and tag team divisions, the Mexican Superstar soon proved that size doesn’t matter when he beat the odds to win the Royal Rumble Match in 2006. From there, Mysterio accomplished the inconceivable when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22, becoming the smallest Superstar ever to hold that title. Mysterio’s accomplishments did not end there. The Master of the 619 has West Coast Popped his way to victory over such standouts as CM Punk, Chris Jericho and JBL, and earned both the Intercontinental and WWE Titles along the way. Although he was sidelined for nearly a year after a vicious attack from the snide Alberto Del Rio in August 2011, the masked Superstar made a thrilling return to Raw on July 16, 2012 and made it clear that he’s gunning for The Miz and the Intercontinental Title. A hero and inspiration to the WWE Universe, Rey Mysterio continues to show that it’s not the size of the man in the lucha that counts, but the size of the lucha in the man.

Breakdown

Who doesn’t like Rey Mysterio? In this year’s version of the game, his famous Finisher The 619 is easier to perform, as pressing the Finisher button against a standing opponent launches Mysterio into a Hurricanrana Whip into the second rope as an automatic set up for The 619. He’s advanced to three 100 ratings (Jump, Agility and Speed) so he hops up onto the turnbuckle like a cat and he has five other attributes in the 90s. Pepper your opponent with Springboard Dives and Outside Dives if they escape the ring. With all the options for him, we liked the drama of hitting The 619 and then climbing to the top rope and using a Wake Up Taunt. Press strike or grapple for a diving attack and pin combo option to end the match by pinfall.
