You could make a pretty strong case for Rey being the greatest high flyer of all time, imo.

Well let's see if he meets the necessary criteria:

Is Rey Mysterio [X]

Yep, it all seems to add up!

Rey is cool & good but not as cool & good as The Big Dog, The Guy, Roman Reigns, WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

Rey became World Champion by winning the Royal Rumble and then beating Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in the same match, where as Big Dawg lost the Royal Rumble and merely beat Triple H, who has lost to both of those men. I think you'll also find that Rey's Pueblo is 619 is far better than the Roman Empire

Actually if you look closely, you'll see that HHH is the Asskicker, the King of Kings, the Cerebral Assassin, the Chief Operating Officer, the Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events, & Creative of WWE. And Roman BEAT THAT.

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?

I'm still bummed that we never got to see Rey mix it up with Dick Togo, Sasuke or any of the other MPro guys.

Actually that brings up a good question: What are some dream opponents you want to see him against now that he's popping up in random places like DDT? Preferrably ones he's never wrestled before.

Seeing Rey in weird comedy matches will be fun in and of itself, but holy crap do I want to see him against Danshoku Dino.

Rey and Eddie made it real cool to be Mexican when I was a kid. It helped beat back the racism felt from the media and politicians and from random people throughout.

Rey beat Kevin Nash that one time.

Therefore Rey is cooler and gooder than Kevin Nash.

I liked Rey in WCW but he was super stale when I watched WWE with my more casual wrestling fan friends around maybe 2007-2009ish, to the point that he was their absolute least favorite guy to watch. Maybe he's been good in recent years when not injured, though.

Backflip DDTs

Eddie only didn't do these things because he wanted to give the stepfather to his bastard son something to do for a living.
