Rey Mysterio: a flip pity flip flopper?

[Guest The B-Man]

I actually think hes quick for his size

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

If CMLL continue to try to push in to America, he'd be a pretty good sort of Hulk-Hogan-in-TNA-y figure, especially being bilingual.

 

AAA are the ones about to enter the American market.

[Guest The Beltster]

You'd think they'd know better. I guarantee you that AAA, CMLL or any Mexican or Japanese promotion will never EVER get over and be a resounding, sustained success in the states. Ever.

Well then.

As much as I like lucha I have to agree. We(the US) have tried on more than one occasion to give lucha a spotlight on various cable channels and it never lasts more than a few weeks. Of course those promotions were put together as a gimmick for tv. We've never had a legit lucha company air on mainstream tv but I don't think that would pick up enough ratings to stay on air.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Lucha wouldn't appeal to mainstream audiences out outside of a country where it originated. It all depends what your conditioned to and what you wanna see

From Wrestling 101:

 

Has the time come for Rey Mysterio to finally retire and hang up the mask?

He'd be a good addition to TNA's X-Division, definitely.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

:lol

 

People complain that he's too old and injured and he can't do his flips anymore, so he'd be great in the flippy-do division?

This, a million times.

 

EDIT: I should elaborate a bit, lest I turn into Ciaran. Rey can barely walk to the ring these days without ripping some kind of muscle apart in his leg, never mind do the same style of wrestling he did almost 20 years(!!!) ago when wrestling Psicosis. All he really has now is his seated senton, the 619 and that daft splash he does. Rey should have been done at least 2 years ago.

Soylent Green is.

Part and parcel of being human, I'm afraid. Besides, you should know it to be true anyway, or else Rey would be working like he's Kurt Angle (well, physically with banged up knees and all and a give no f*ck attitude towards said knees) or something.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Rey can f**k off :)

 

Seriously this guy is finished in mainstream WWE

[dsrchris 190]

It's easy, let him go do his Mexican thing for a couple of years, bring him back for a HoF spot and a Legends contract. Right now there's no need for Rey to be actually wrestling anymore.

This. Totally this. I really couldn't agree more.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

Not that Rey doesn't deserve it but him getting into the HOF doesn't really excite me

So if he wrestles in Mexico it doesn't count as actually wrestling? :P

I think his Mexico thing is doing commentary for AAA. Or was it CMLL? I dunno.

[Guest Ciaran The King]

AAA I think, but I could possibly see Rey popping up in TNA
