Why was he so over huh? Why? Why can't these current nu

That WCW theme he had, is the most underrated wrestling theme.
Ever.

Back in the day wrestlers were real men you could look up to.

>Why was he so over huh?
He wasnt a geek turned wrestler that tried to copy japanese manlets spots like todays generation

People love under dogs and kids wanted to buy his masks. Dude was a manlet with decent draw power, props to him.

Too bad about his shitty world title runs.

Why are the faggot contrarians native to /asp/ pretending they wouldn't hate based Reyrey on principle if he were around today?

He stayed in the low and midcard where he belonged most of the time.

>unironically using the word "geek" in 2016
Austism

>why was one of the best wrestlers of all-time over

Gee I don't know.

He also didn't have to deal with WWE shitbooking until he was already a well-established star, so there's that.

>>1951198
WWE has been ripping off puro since at least the 80s.

>>1951160
He was a once in a generation talent.

> B-b-but the wrestler isn't over, it's the mask / entrance / chant / excuse

You can't compare Rich Swann, Vidya Boy and all those other no-names to ReyRey. Guy is a legend, he started wrestling in the basement of a small church at the age of 12.

fuck WCW for putting those old fucks over every single time.

>>1953314
You should get that stutter looked at

>>1953293
Imagine being this wrong and this underage.

>>1953500
it's to bad he never fought bone saw

>>1951160
This was when underdogs actually meant something and cruiserweights were fresh in WCW/WWF

I'd take the dancing nigger Swann of Mysterio with his superior moveset and charisma (although that's not saying much)

Just like everything in wrestling, it's rehashed. So it's almost impossible to bring new ideas that interest people.

They were in their late 30s...

Because he was a true underdog who still acted like a man. On top of that, he was fun to watch in the ring and the mask got over really well with kids because unlike a t-shirt which is just a t-shirt, they could get a mask and actually look like the guy they see on tv.
Rey might only be 5'2", but he could hang with the big guys any day of the week.

>>1951160
I liked him as a kid because I thought it was cool how he jumped out of the stage in his entrance
