[BREAKING NEWS] WWE Reportedly Releases Rey Mysterio

WWE News: Rey Mysterio Officially Released By WWE, Moved To Alumni Section



One of my favorite wrestlers

 

I thought he was released a long time ago. He must've been doing house shows or something. Last time I remember him wrestling was when he was an entrant last year for the Royal Rumble.

 

Rey will go to AAA or Lucha Underground and probably renew a rivalry with Alberto Del Rio. Those matches were good and very underrated.

 

Is there even any reason to watch Raw/Smackdown between PPVs?

Seriously, the storylines are usually only advanced on PPVs and the Raw after PPVs.

After that you get a bunch of fluff where the feuding parties participate in a bunch of tag matches and "I can't wait till _______ because I'm going to beat you so bad!"

 

There's room in the E for only one little guy who dresses up as a superhero, and that guy is now Finn Balor.

 

He has been under contract and after his release for a long time now. His contract finally ran out.

 

Not needed in 2015. Keep the attention on bringing in NJPW guys (Kenta & Devitt)

 

Devitt and Kenta are not Mexican, the WWE has no real Mexican stars who can also speak English.

Also Kenta and Devitt don't have masks so won't be able to fill the revenue Rey was still generating from mask sales while sitting at home.

So Kenta and Devitt won't be able to get the mexicans fans behind them like Rey or Del Rio.

Plus Kenta and Devitt are in NXT, do you really see Vince getting behind them on the main roster? As great as they are, there is no guarantee Vince gets behind them on the main roster.

 

They can use the Lucha Dragons (Sin Cara and Kalisto) to bring in the Latino/Hispanic audience.

 

Sin Cara is already a failed charater and they cannot speak english, Mysterio and Del Rio were bilingual Mexican superstars.

Also Sin Cara and Kalisto are not even close to the quality of Mysterio and Del Rio nor have they proven to be draws yet.

They need Mysterio to be the bridge, to pass the torch. They let both stars guy now have to build a new star from scratch.

 

Do they really need a bridge guy to Mexico in 2015? I'd much rather see them continue to bridge the gap with NJPW and other Japanese indies.

That style meshes so much better with future main event guys like Rollins, Ziggler, Ambrose, Cesaro, Balor, etc and current guys like Lesnar, Bryan, etc than a lucha guy can present.

 

Kalisto is Mexican American like Rey, and is every bit as exciting.

For whatever reason they have teamed him up with Sin Cara, who I agree is damaged goods. They have yet to give him a chance as a singles guy. Kalisto's booking coming up has been abysmal, but he can easily be Rey 2.0. Have to get him away from Sin Cara though.

 

Are they still going to change Kalisto's character into a gay hairstylist?

I thought Sin Cara was played by a Samoan guy.

 

ugh, nevermind.


played by Hunico.

 

Heyman gave one hell of a promo yesterday, it's crazy how fired up he can get and not stumble over his words. When Reigns is on the mic, it's pretty much a countdown until he mucks it up.

Last week Stardust had a great interview too, but it was only featured on the network. Probably because I'm a Stardust fan, and I love the shots he took, starts at 42s.

The more they shove Reigns down our throat, the more I hate him.

Daniel Bryan being downgraded to the IC Title match is a damn joke. Vince sucks.
