WWE.com recently posted a brand new article today entitled “The 20 Most Amazing Masked Wrestlers,” where they look at, well, the 20 most amazing masked wrestlers. Of course Rey Mysterio was featured, making it to #2, only 1 spot short of being #1 (which belongs to the legendary Mil Mascaras). Make sure to read the blurb they wrote about Rey and check out the AWESOME new shots of Rey that WWE shared with the blurbs too!

#2 – Rey Mysterio
No mask in this world is as universally recognizable as the one made famous by “The King of Mystery.” The story of Rey Mysterio encapsulates one of the truest tenets of lucha libre: the tradition of honoring warriors who came before. In the case of the three-time World Champion, his name and elements of his mask design were derived from his uncle and trainer, Rey Mysterio Sr. Yet The Master of the 619 has never allowed his appearance to grow stale: Over the course of his career, Mysterio has continuously evolved the design, having worn literally hundreds — if not thousands — of variations.

That’s to say nothing of Mysterio’s in-ring legacy. “Revolutionary” only begins to describe his effect. The Ultimate Underdog broke new ground in the ring, to the awe of the WWE Universe, and he’s served as an inspiration for undersized athletes everywhere, proving it’s the size of the fight in the dog that matters most.

Thanks to Anne from Stu-Bennett.Com for passing along this great Rey Mysterio interview with Tercera Caida. Of course, Rey is speaking Spanish as he promotes WrestleMania 29. (The video was shot at Axxess). Although I’m not fluent in Spanish, I got a small piece of what Rey was saying. Skip to 5:53 to see Rey Mysterio speak. Rey talks about him being out with an injury right now and rehabilitation and that the first thing that’s important is his health… The interviewer asks Rey something about Sin Cara and Rey talks about wrestling and their Mexican heritage…. Later on, Mick Foley brings up wrestling Rey in 1994 (Hey, that’s when I was born! ) and how it was a great match. Watch the video, you’ll love it!
