WWE.com posted a new article entitled “The 10 Best WWE Velocity Matches You SHouldn’t Have Missed,” where, well, they take a look at the best Velocity matches that we shouldn’t have missed. Velocity was a cyber show available to watch on WWE.com in the early 2000s, where Rey had a bunch of matches. In the top 10, our Ultimate Underdog had two of the best matches and even won first place for his match against Jamie Noble. Read what WWE.com posted below and also check out the photos of Rey from Velocity by clicking the link below.

#4 Rey Mysterio vs. Kidman vs. Nunzio vs. Akio – April 10, 2004
WWE Velocity’s one-on-one cruiserweight bouts were high-octane affairs. The thought of a Fatal Four Way Match, with an opportunity at the Cruiserweight Title on the line, probably blew the collective minds of the WWE Universe.

The bout was frenetic from the get-go. Mysterio gained an early advantage and almost nailed Akio with the 619, but was cut off by Kidman. The four Superstars traded high-impact maneuvers back and forth, going for quick covers, with no one finding success.

Unsurprisingly, the match moved outside the ring fairly quickly. In rapid succession, Akio hit a corkscrew dive, Mysterio springboarded onto his foes, followed by Nunzio crashing and burning on an attempted dive when everyone moved out of his way. The tenacious Italian grappler recovered, though, catching Kidman with a devastating DDT off the top rope to earn the title opportunity.

#1 Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble – May 1, 2004
WWE Velocity was often a showcase for SmackDown’s Cruiserweight division. There was no better example of this than when Rey Mysterio took on Jamie Noble in May 2004.

Noble did everything he could to keep The Master of The 619 grounded, utilizing a plethora of holds and grappling techniques. Mysterio, though, showed off his unparalleled speed, using it to slip out of Noble’s grasp. Rey’s offense would be short-lived, ending when Noble contorted his body into a unique position, resulting in a maneuver that nearly snapped Mysterio’s arm.

Noble continued working over Rey’s injured limb, ultimately trying to end the bout with an armbar. Mysterio valiantly fought out, though Noble was still on the offensive. The masked marvel, however, was able to reverse Noble’s Tiger Bomb attempt, leaving his foe in perfect position for the 619. Picking up the victory was academic for Mysterio after that. The WWE Universe was on its feet screaming as he covered Noble for the three count.

In honor of The Rock’s newest show, “The Hero,” WWE.com took a look at superstars over the year that define who a hero is. Of course, our boy Rey Mysterio was featured as he sure is a heroic icon! WWE.Com posted:

Reminiscent of the masked guardians that grace the covers of your favorite comic books, Rey Mysterio lives by a strict moral code that drives him to battle the forces of evil. Even when seemingly outmatched by larger opponents, including the likes of Batista, Kane and even Big Show, The Master of the 619 has never backed down, dazzling the WWE Universe with his aerial offense in the process.

In one of his most miraculous feats, The Ultimate Underdog entered at No. 2 in the 2006 Royal Rumble Match, outlasting 29 other Superstars to win the bout and go on to contend for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Triple Threat Match at WrestleMania 22. Facing both Randy Orton and Kurt Angle, Mysterio would overcome the odds to claim his first World Championship on The Grandest Stage of Them All.

Thanks to an indestructible connection with the WWE Universe, Mysterio’s incredible feats of heroism in the face of adversity have cemented the highflier as one of the most beloved Superstars of all time.

In a recent interview with CT.com , WWE Superstar Fandango mentioned Rey Mysterio when asked about WCW (World Championship Wrestling). Fandango stated that he grew up on the WCW/WWF wars, but appreciated the CruiserWeights division so much more. He said:

Was there any one match, feud or wrestler in particular that caught your eye in the first place to get you hooked on it?
I think for me obviously, being 14, 15 in 1997, ’98 was a great time because that’s when the Monday Night Wars were really starting to get really hot. At 14, 15, as a young man, you’re really into the NWO and you’re switching over to USA to see the New Age Outlaws and Stone Cold and stuff like that. For me, though, like you just mentioned, I was really into the high flying. The Rey Mysterio and Dean Malenko matches really hooked me into WCW. On the other side, it was more the story lines that got me into the WWF or WWE.

Rey Mysterio, a Paul Heyman guy? Yes! It’s true! Back in the mid 90s, Rey Mysterio used to work for Paul Heyman in ECW and was a Paul Heyman guy! In an article WWE.com and Paul Heyman wrote, they look back at 13 guys that Paul Heyman considered to be “his” guys. This is what he had to say about Rey:

In 1995, the landscape of sports-entertainment in the United States was dramatically different. No one of Rey Mysterio’s size or aerial ability had ever been featured in this country. The highest flier Americans had seen up until that point was “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka, and the most famous luchador was Mil Mascaras, who really never left his feet except for a bodypress off the top rope.

When ECW suffered a dramatic talent raid at the hands of WCW, many thought it could have been the death of our company. Our backs were against the wall. How could Extreme Championship Wrestling come back from a devastating blow? I knew our only hope was to come out blasting and make the next major show even better than anything anyone had ever seen before. We literally had to show the world we were still the innovators of new styles. Groundbreaking concepts were used on TV, unmatched ferocity was presented on the mic and the most cutting-edge style was presented in the ring.

I reached out to Konnan in Mexico, and without hesitation, he sent Rey Mysterio and Psicosis to South Philly for the next ECW Arena show. Konnan guaranteed me their matches would not only be state of the art, but also that nothing could match Rey vs. Psicosis in the United States. The ECW audience, which lived by the philosophy of “accentuate the strengths and hide the weaknesses,” never paid attention to the fact that Rey Mysterio wasn’t a bodybuilder, or 6-feet tall, or 300 pounds. The ECW audience saw a magnificent performer the likes of which the United States had never seen. Mysterio not only lived up to my expectations, but he also single-handedly opened up the U.S. market to the concept of cruiserweights. And he turned one of ECW’s darkest hours into one of our greatest triumphs. Gracias, “Paul Heyman tipo”!

Rey Mysterio has had some great matches and feuds throughout not only his WWE career, but his wrestling career in general. When you think of Rey’s best feuds, the names of Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Psicosis, CM Punk and many others are brought into the mix. However, there are many stars that Rey has yet to face. So, I thought it’d be interesting to put together a list of 5 Feuds Rey Mysterio Should Have, including how it could happen, why, and what would happen. Make sure to give the full article a read and send me your feedback. If you guys honestly enjoyed what I had to say, please make sure to vote at the end of the post and let me know! If you guys like this article, then I’ll definitely look into posting more. The first person who Rey should face is Hunico. Want to find out who the other four I thought of are? Click the view the rest of this entry link after the first piece!

Why: Without a doubt, Rey Mysterio is known as one of the best luchadors and Mexican superstars to hit the WWE roster in recent years. Hunico, who is a newcomer to the WWE but not wrestling, also dabbles around in lucha libre and is a Mexican superstar as well. What would be better than to see one of the most popular Mexican stars to go against a new and upcoming star? Hunico has stated in interviews that he is a fan of Rey and would love to face him one day. Also? Hunico was there to see Rey back when Rey was first starting out as Colibri. Hunico can fly around just as much as Rey, but can also hit the mat with his amateur wrestling background. Hunico can keep up with Rey and ground him at the same time.

How it Could Happen: Rey could cut a promo how it’s been an honor to face some of the people in the back. He thanks the fans for being around and says that he’s honored to be such a large house hold name. Mid-sentence, Hunico’s theme music hits and he walks down towards the ring. He then pulls out his heel tactics saying that “Rey’s time is over and it’s time the fans look up to someone new, like himself.” Hunico can also say that it’s time for Rey to move on and retire and let the new blood run around. This can lead to a feud between the two after Hunico attacks Rey in the ring, only to allow Rey to get the upper hand. Then after, Hunico would interfere in all of Rey’s matches, take him out backstage and cut promos about his time being up.

What could happen: Not only would Hunico be put on the map as a large name now, he could move on from the feud and be taken seriously as a future title contender. Hunico could move on to Alberto del Rio or Jack Swagger and build up his feud credentials. Not to mention, Rey and Hunico would put on PHENOMENAL matches together. They could definitely pull out some show stealing matches as they could handle each other’s ring style well.

Feud Expectation: A+ These two would not disappoint and I can only imagine the promos and matches they could have.
