BINGO!
PWInsider.com contacted WWE regarding Rey Mysterio's status with the company as he was moved quietly to their Alumni section today.
WWE responded with the following statement:

"Rey Mysterio is no longer under contract with WWE."

So, Mysterio's long run with the company is officially over.

Good for Rey, but I don't want to see him shamble around lucha underground. Just retire Rey Rey.

AAA's scheduled a press conference for Tuesday? I wonder what this could be about :iiam:


I hope he shows up in LU like Alberto since I really don't have the time to follow AAA proper.

Eh, if he's happier, working a lighter schedule, and not travelling nearly as much I think he might surprise people.

I like Mysterio and it's kind of a shame that his last memorable WWE moment is getting booed out of the building because he entered the Rumble at the wrong spot.

Just want to agree with the correct opinions that Rey Mysterio was absolutely amazing and legit one of the best wrestlers ever and it sucks he was never given a well booked quality title run in WWE.

Daniel Bryan made Rey lose all love of wrestling until he quietly retired.

Frankly this is bull poo poo. Ray is still legally owned by the Latino World Order and this isn't for either him or the WWE to decide.

I stand on land.
Apparently his last match was at last year's Raw After Wrestlemania, where he lost to Wade Barrett. Also this kind of shocked me but apparently his last PPV singles match was losing to Intercontinental champion The Miz at Summerslam 2012 :stare: (there were mostly tags from there, along with a multi-man match and battle royals)

He was very good, but I hope he stops wrestling because I don't want him to explode. It's amazing to me that Sin Cara vs. Rey Mysterio never worked out.

I've got no dispute about Rey being an all time great, but the 619 has always struck me as bad finisher.

Rey Mysterio was my first favorite wrestler and was who got me into wrestling in the first place. It's a shame WWE is a piss company full of poo poo idiots. Hopefully he'll wrestle Ricochet at some point in the future.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
It's a drat shame Rey's last title run lasted a night because WWE has no idea how to slow burn. If that taught the WWE anything it's that people won't forget who CM Punk is god you're so loving stupid just wait like 6 months.

I loved the Luchadores when I was a kid more than almost anything (Other than DDP and Raven of course) and it's always such a shame that promoters think all kinds of illogical poo poo about the division, like they'll never be able to be seen as main eventers (while they make no attempt to create new ones anyway) or it ruins diversity (Where for the longest time the entire Divas division has the same gimmick and would change heel/face alignment every week). They don't need to do anything but warm a crowd up and put on good matches. You've got 3 hours just use it and let them go a million miles an hour.

I have nothing against Rey, but my favorite thing about him is always going to be a match he had with Kane where it was demonstrated that Kane knows at least 5 distinct counters to the 619.

Let me make that as clear as I can: Rey went to the 619 well 5 separate times in a match with Kane and failed every single time.

He should probably retire at this point, be an on air personality, but I don't really want to see him wrestle

I stopped watching wrestling quite a while ago, but drat if Rey Mysterio wasn't one of the people who got me into it way back in WCW doing crazy acrobatic poo poo that was just surreal, and I ended up being a hardcore fan for 10 years. Definitely one of the all time greats. I wouldn't blame him for taking one good last run with a lighter schedule in a high profile spot in AAA, but please take it easy on yourself Rey.
