That's pretty damn scummy that WWE is trying to force Rey, who has busted his ass for the company for years at the expense of his health, to keep working for them when he's finally ready to settle down. Jesus Christ, no wonder Punk walked away if this is the type of shit they try to pull. I mean, I get the contract clause and everything, but the guy keeps getting re-injured every time he returns. If even Rey has finally reach the conclusion that it's time to hang it up, why try to force more miles out of him?

I imagine Rey chilling at home in his favorite lazy boy with his left leg up on a leg rest and a remote in his hand, looking through the TV guide channel when one of his kids come up to him with the mail for today. He takes the mail and sees a check from WWE and looks at it for a long moment before say no and telling his child to throw it away with all the other junk mail. He then proceeds to keep looking through the TV guide channel like nothing. And he's wearing a wifebeater & sweat pants with his gut hanging out. And is still wearing his mask.

I'm sorry but how on earth does a dirt sheet find out something like that. Do they have sources in payroll??

I'm pretty sure that Rey has gotten so accustomed to his Fat Shirt that he always has one on. He does it in the Fat Shirt. He showers in the Fat Shirt. If he loses his Fat Shirt for whatever reason, even if he's otherwise decent, believes himself to be naked and shrieks in horror.

See he was cashing them, but he wasn't wearing his mask and the bank knew a kid couldn't make that kind of money, so he'd been telling them they were for his boss Mr. Macintosh. They finally found out there was no Mr. Mcintosh and quit allowing him to cash the checks.

I just imagine that if Rey doesn't cash the checks soon, he'll end up with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of credit in his PayPal account courtesy of WWE.

So why does Rey not getting paid make him a winner?

You may not agree with the clause in the contract but it takes 2 parties to sign a contract.
Rey knew the deal when he signed the contract. That's the way it goes.

Wait a minute....... People still get paid by cheque in 2014? I didn't know cheques even still existed. yes... and checks are also how people in America pay their bills.

We can only hope that Rey really DOES want to hang it up, and not just limp over to the Impact Zone or AAA.

That leads to one other question, in theory: Assuming, for one second- Rey is planning to hang it up instead of limping to TNA or AAA: As said earlier, the WWE presumably wants Rey back another year for merch purposes, not for the ring. Assuming he's retiring- why couldn't Rey just say "I'm done- I can't wrestle anymore. Let me out of the contract and I'll sign over the rights to the Rey Mysterio gimmick- you can make merch for it or repackage someone to the next Rey Mysterio in perpetuity?"

Or perhaps he melted into a puddle of goo.
A puddle of goo can't cash a paycheck.

They should release him from his active wrestler contract, which he clearly can't fulfill and offer him a deal where he makes appearances in Spanish speaking markets as a sort of ambassador, for the same amount or more money, in gratitude for his years in the company

No way Rey would sign over intellectual rights to his gimmick to WWE. Especially since he had it before coming in and it's a cash cow. More than likely, Mysterio wants to hook up with AAA like he's been planning for years and WWE knows that and want to get back the money they spent all the times he was on injury reserve before he goes. Sin Cara was suppose to be the heir apparent but flamed out. So Rey is there until Kalisto moves to the main roster and becomes a success.

There are probably too many steps between his car and the bank teller desk. Dude's knee can't handle that shit.

The desk was too tall for Rey, the cashier couldn't see him.

I still think that it's kind of bullshit that the E can extend a contract if you miss time with an injury. there are situations in pro sports where contracts just go on hold, like suspensions.
