it's that time of the day again, time to see who will hypothetically enter ROH and stay and who will hypothetically enter ROH and leave first we had william regal who was generally accepted with a 47-1 in the polls then we had val venis who was not as accepted but still allowed in with 21-11 in the polls now as per request (yes I got a request to make one of these topics, even I'm surprised!) we have rey mysterio ok actually that's a pic of spiderman but look at the most recent pics of rey in wwe magazine can you tell them appart? anyone could make that mistake! anywho the question is simple, will the ROH fans generally accept rey mysterio, or will they tell him to GET THE smurf OUT!?

I'm not a big fan of Rey Mysterio, and somehow can't see his more flashy recent style fitting in properly.

I think he will be accepted, but there would be "steroids"-chants, atleast in the beginning. You can't deny that he is a good wrestler.

Rey would be crucified in ROH. He really sucks now IMO. A shadow of his former self. He looks decent in the E because he is smaller and faster than most of their guys, but if you were to put him in with ROH's young guys, he would look dated and slow. His weaknesses would be exposed, and he would be booed out of the building.

Rey has been plagued with injuries and I think he even said he had to change his style in a shoot interview. I mean if you see Rey vs Kurt in Summerslam (2002?) vs Rey in any other recent match there is a big difference.
I dont know what runs in the minds of ROH fans honestly to what they want and hate, as long as Rey can wrestle I dont think ROH fans would crap on him, unless they want spotfests or something.

As long as he was healthy and motivated, he would be accepted no doubt. He'd have to change the majority of live fan's minds however, as he has been using a more toned down style due to it being WWE and due to injuries. But regardless of how badly he was booked, the man was still having some really good matches. The Van Dam match, the Angle match, the Finlay match, and some of the Chavo matches. Hell the Booker match was pretty good too.
If he was healthy enough to go, he would change people's minds and be heartily accepted.

He would be boo'd, have a kickass match ala ONS against Sabu & be accepted.

In all honesty, given all of the injuries to his legs and having to work a much more low impact style, I don't think he'd be accepted in ROH. He'd definitely get some respect pops if he were to show up in a non-wrestling capacity, but there's no way he'd be able to safely wrestle like he used to and that would hurt him.

I know the diffrence between Rey and Spiderman. Spiderman does not take roids. Seriously though, he might be welcomed in but he'd get some "YOU TAKE STEROIDS!" *clap clap clap clap clap* chants.

I certainly would hope that Rey Mysterio gets accepted.
I mean, this guy is a really small guy in a big man's world, and in my opinion, is one of the main reasons (along with Shawn Michaels, Taz and others) that the majority of the ROH locker room can be somewhat successful. Seriously, if it wasn't for trail blazers like Mysterio getting the little guy over, none of these wrestlers would get over.
I mean, think about it. Guys like Mysterio, Kidman, Spike Dudley, Mikey Whipwreck, these guys were freaks. These guys who really small, but they got over big time, and helped the image of smaller guys to the wrestling fans. So Ring of Honor fans damn well better accept Mysterio in my opinion.
Not only that, but they should at least understand that all the high flying moves and all the crazy stuff he's done to blaze that trail has taken a toll on his body. I see the majority of the ROH roster like Mysterio in a couple of years.

Valid points, andrew. Mysterio really did pave the way for a lot of ROH.
You know, if I could change my vote, I would.
That said, I disagree with your last statement. I think indy guys work much safer than Mysterio did in his youth. While some undoubtedly will be nagged with injuries, many should be fine come retirement.

I'm actually shocked rey is getting alot of accepted votes since most of this thread is basically people berating him.

He seems to have this sell-out stigma these days. So he'd be booed IMO. Example: ONS & ONS 2

If his knees were healthy I could see him being accepted, but his injuries have forceg him to tone down his style along with that, he is so used to WWE style matches now. So maybe he could be accepted.

He was accepted there once, I don't see why it couldn't happen again.

Depends entirely on whether he can deliver. Jeff got booed like he did for a lot, but coming out with that douche mask and outfit did not help his case at all.

Not to mention he pretty much said he was burned out and did the gig for the paycheck. Konnan was booed just because you could see he didn't have anything left, not to mention his body gave up on him. As for Rey, he'll be accepted, but it'll take more than a match for people to warm up to him, especially if they get the pure-as-snow babyface stuff shoved down their throats.
