Just wondering...why does everyone hate him?
And I'm wondering this because I hate him, too. I just think he's all-around awful and way past his prime. I wouldn't miss him one bit if he retired right now. If anything I'd enjoy Smackdown more knowing he won't be on there.

When people overstay their welcome in wrestling and don't bring anything new to the table, people start turning on them.
That's really all there is to it. Rey can still go...not nearly as well but he's certainly not stinking up the place. Most of his storylines....for quite a damn long time now, are very similar though and there's just not much fun to be had with them.

What really pisses me off is his damn boob slam from the top rope he does after the 619. Clearly signs of ring rust... |

Never really have been a big fan of Rey's, even going back to the WCW days. My disliking for him simply goes for the fact of the whole "Eddie's dead, so lets make Rey champ in his honor deal" and he wasn't that good, IMO

I don't hate him, I was just tired of watching him back when WCW was still in business.

He's not as good as he used to be but still doesn't take a backseat to anyone and pretty much never puts anyone over. (I can only think of Del Rio lately)
Also, all of his feuds/matches go exactly the same way and it's old. Very old.

Lost his IC title to him and got pinned clean by him in the Elimination Chamber last year. I like Rey. His hate is similar to John Cena's. It's his booking that is the problem. You don't call someone an underdog who wins more than he loses. |

Because he can ONLY work as a face and this character is so limited. The last interesting feud he was in was with Eddie all the way back in 2005.

He's just boring now.
He can't go like he used to....he's hard to put in storylines....there aren't many guys he can convincingly work against....he isn't imo a world title contender.
He's stayed past his welcome in the US. If he went to Mexico like has been rumored for a while now, he'd be treated like royalty.....and honestly it's well deserved.
He's better off heading south of the border than staying in the WWE. He's lost his appeal.

Broken down, same one dimensional character, rarely puts anyone over.
Pretty much the brunt of it, which is all justifiable.

The problem with Rey is that he's broken down and way past his prime but whether he knows it or not, he's way too small to be a credible conventional type of wrestler. The only thing he can do is his flippity jippity shit. Yet his merchandise sells too well for him to not be pushed.

The only thing he can do is his flippity jippity s***. Yet his merchandise sells too well for him to not be pushed. He is also a big draw in the Hispanic market plus is among the favorite for the youngest members of the audience. I hope WWE puts him in a "Special" role, where he essentially is used very rarely and all of his matches become a big deal. |

I don't hate Rey but, a lot like John Cena, I'm fairly indifferent towards him. He was one of the guys I was a huge mark for when I got started back in 2004, but now he doesn't do a whole lot for me. In many ways, Rey is Cena without the promo skills. He can put on a good match, but his feuds nearly always amount to him going over a far more interesting heel.
Rey Mysterio may be a good wrestler, most of the time, but he's a pretty boring character.

What really pisses me off is his damn boob slam from the top rope he does after the 619. Clearly signs of ring rust... Or signs of wear and tear. I mean, good lord, the guy has been doing this style, or a style similar to it for almost 20 years. He's pushed in a certain way where he does overcome the odds it seems, and unlike Cena, due to his size, it works better with Mysterio. He also put over Alberto Del Rio pretty big, I mean, my goodness, he's wrestling for the World Title at Wrestlemania, do you think Rey may've helped him along a bit. And, this deal with Cody Rhodes might be big, and again, if Cody doesn't win, he's still put Rhodes into a main event spotlight. A feature match at Wrestlemania. Anyway, this thread has come up before, a bunch of pages worth. However, when you get right down to it, the influx of smaller wrestlers in wrestling today in my opinion can be partially, or even fully attributed to Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio paved the way for smaller guys to be accepted more into Pro Wrestling. People talk about how WWE does hire normally bigger guys, but it's down greatly from years past, and Rey may not have been the only one, there have been other guys who helped along the way. But he's the one who's made it the furthest. So yeah, that's why I respect Mysterio for pretty much changing the business, or at least helping to change the business for the positive. So, I guess for me, that's why I have such a positive view of him. |

In defense of Rey, it's not like he plays politics, he's not The Undertaker. Just like Cena, he's constantly pushed over more deserving talent because the kids love him.
