Good afternoon, this is my first time posting in this community, and I hope you like it, or at least appreciate what I write. In other communities, no matter how hard I try and write good posts, they don't read them or answer me, so they aren't appreciated. So, I'm going to try here, and if I do something wrong, please let me know in a comment. After all this, I want to talk to you about the man who is, in my opinion, the best fighter, both technically and personally. I'm referring to Rey Misterio.
But Rey Mysterio has been harassed all his life for his height, with offensive tacks. But this has never affected him, nor has he ever shown the public that it affects him, since he has a beautiful family, a wife who loves him, and a life full of luxuries. But it wasn't always like this.
Óscar Gutiérrez was born on December 11th in San Diego, California, to a Mexican family. Born in the United States, he has always been proud of his Latino roots. His uncle, Rey Misterio Sr., began training him at age 8. His first professional fights were at age 14, and he wrestled only once under the nickname "La Lizartija Verde" (The Green Lizard). His first official name was "El Colibrí" (Hummingbird), but his and his uncle's intention was to inherit the name to continue the tradition.
childhood. He was contacted to offer him the chance to join a new company that was forming in Mexico City. At 17, King embarked on the journey without knowing what it would bring. On paper, it didn't seem like a bad idea, but weeks and months went by, and the company didn't start. This began to affect him, as his savings were running out. One day, unexpectedly, he called his girlfriend at the time, his wife, mentioning that he wanted to continue, that he wanted to return, since he didn't even have enough to eat. She, being his pillar, decided to drop out of medical school to find a temporary job and send him money so he could continue to fulfill his dream, showing us that true love always wins. Today, this woman who sacrificed herself to support her boyfriend is a woman who lives peacefully with the love of her family and the gratitude of her husband, and it's not like she says thank you every day.
The biggest Royal Rumble of all time arrived, with 40 superstars participating. Misterio entered at number 29 and was eliminated by White Barrett. Then came the Elimination Chamber, Rey managed to qualify and challenge for the championship, but sadly for him, H defeated him again, eliminating him last.
Days passed, and he faced Cody Rhodes, where he typically broke his opponent's nose. Unlike the Undertaker, Cody was noticeably affected by it. He started wearing a mask for protection and challenged him to a match at Romania 27. Misterio accepted, and they faced each other. Cody emerged victorious, albeit with a bit of cheating. They fought again at Extreme Rules, and Rey got his revenge, spitting on the victory and ending the feud. Later, Art Truth attacked him for his rude turn. They faced each other at Over The Limit, where he lost, allowing him to push him, just like he had with CM Punk.
Team with Sin Cara and problems with WWE
He began teaming with Sin Cara, something that sadly didn't benefit either of them. The company and Rey began to have differences. WWE had a fairly tight schedule, and Rey was frequently injured, which meant he wasn't on programming or pay-per-views. His last appearance was at the 2014 Royal Rumble, where he was eliminated by Cesaro. WWE seemed to have a grudge against wrestlers at the time, as several big names left the company.
Rey Misterio is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, a pioneer of the high-flyer style and with memorable matches. WWE hasn't always been able to capitalize on his talent, but his legacy is undeniable. Despite his ups and downs, Misterio remains a living legend and a symbol of world wrestling.
