He's a robot. But keep that under your hat. McMahon still doesn't have the patent on him yet. He's worried about TNA stealing the blueprints and building their own tiny luchadores.

I smell an upcoming ass-kicking stretcher job at the hands of Batista then.
Rey's knee injury there sounds extremely similar to what, of all people, Hogan had surgery for back around 2001. Bone-on-bone and the ACL gone.

Dear God. What's left to prove? He had one last great feud with top-notch matches against Jericho this year. Please, Rey, realize enough is enough. This. Mysterio's already gonna go down in history as one of the greatest lucha-libre wrestlers of all time and he's probably got enough money saved up to last him the rest of his life. Its time to call it quits. All of this. I'm usually not one to jump on the "Time to call it quits" bandwagons that we occasionally get when a wrestler gets injured, but this time, it really does fit. Rey is out due to injury more than he's active. And these days, he's much more limited to what he can do in the ring, and it's getting to the point where he's not able to do a lot of the stuff that made him special in the first place. He's accomplished everything he could possibly accomplish. And while I believe that creative absolutely borked his run with the championship (I truly believe he could have had a credible reign if creative booked it properly), at least he had a run with the strap -- something most wrestlers never get to do at all, and certainly none that are as small as he is. He's been everywhere, done everything, and if he left right now, he'd be leaving as one of the most popular wrestlers in the industry, instead of leaving as a broken down shell of his former self who stuck around for far too long. Rey needs to leave now before he starts making a mockery of his career, or worse.....injuring himself to the point where he's in constant pain for the rest of his life, can't walk, etc. If he absolutely must stay in the spotlight, he's one of the rare cases where TNA would be a better career move for him than the WWE just because of the much lighter schedule.

He also has a fairly young son,and I'd think that he would want to be somewhat mobile to watch his son get older,I would think he would want to be able to run around with him.

I agree. Personally, Rey should just retire. I mean, all these leg injuries have all-but-negated his luchadore style and limited him to a guy who runs around and jumps on people. That, and the lack of talent to compete with him doesn't help. I may have a little resentment towards him now, but it's because of the way he's been booked the last couple of years. I plan on reading his book "Behind the Mask", as soon as my library sends my order to my branch.
If Rey's going to go out, obviously one should book the Batista/Rey Mysterio match as Survivor Series in which the Animal flat-out decimates him. If Rey does retire (well, go part-time) after this, Batista will get monster heat for not only breaking a friendship, but virtually ending his friend's career.
Hey, if it works for Sheamus after taking out Jamie Noble...

Put me with the "Call it quits" crowd. You've given your fans everything you've got and have had one helluva career. You held the World Championship, and have been one of the biggest draws for WWE over the past few years. You have nothing else to accomplish.
You're body is banged up, and is trying to tell you to call it quits. It's time you listen and do so.

Like someone said earlier in the thread, the guy's been wrestling about two decades, and the lucha style has to take more of a toll on the body. You can only put so many miles on those legs.

Dear God. What's left to prove? He had one last great feud with top-notch matches against Jericho this year. Please, Rey, realize enough is enough. How many top-tier athletes and entertainers can successfully retire? I don't mean that they have financial security. I mean that they are happy and well adjusted to be outside of it. A lot of these guys only know the life of their sport. Wrestlers who have been successful are travelers, guys who are used to being on the road 250, 300 days a year. Even when they have family to go home to, the reality of what family life is weighs down and causes big adjustments. And for guys whose life has been about moving forward, it's a lot easier to start running again than to face the challenge of standing still. This is an excellent point. Reminds me of many professional boxers who are extremely successful. Rey Mysterio should be a manager to a smaller wrestler like Evan Bourne. Rey should step aside and let Bourne be the next small wrestler to be a big name. His promo skills suck which is why Rey can be valuable to him because his mic skills are good.

I hate to say it but with his pain pill addiction it's quite possible he doesn't actually have the money to retire.
Just putting that out there as sad as it sounds.

The bigger problem is that crowds would pop for Rey and not care about the guy he's managing, he'd completely overshadow a guy like Bourne. I hate to say it but with his pain pill addiction it's quite possible he doesn't actually have the money to retire. Just putting that out there as sad as it sounds. I didn't connect it to the pain pills thing, but I had the same thought: "I hope he actually has some money saved up." Nicolas Cage is apparently bankrupt now, I hear, so you never know.

Poor guy. He already missed 2 consecutive WrestleManias with separate injuries, and I hope he doesn't miss another one (unless he actually decides to retire, which is frankly the best thing for him to do).

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure that if your ACL and PCL were both blown (or torn, or injured, or sprained, or whatever) at the same time, you wouldn't be able to walk on that leg. Your knee would buckle if you put any weight on it whatsoever.
