Are we burnt out of Rey Mysterio?

[lowandmighty]

I admit he has been away a long time but I still have seen everything he does and a shit load of it over the years and I don't necessarily get excited about seeing him in any match anymore. I want him to change and reinvent himself. How? I don't know thats for the creative people to decide.

The guy is a legend and he doesnt even work as much as others due to his constant injuries and personal issues or w/e.So how can you be burned out ?I mean seriously this is like the last superstar that you should be questioning about.

Tbh I hope he comes back for one more run and has some awesome feuds with the likes of Rhodes Scholars, daniel bryan and other guys he can have good matches with.

All you haters are just the guys that are just wrestler-hoppers.All you do is follow the trend and you dont invest in a wreslter.

I totally agree with you, whats funny about these people is that they have a view set, but once someone else goes against a few peoples opinions, then everybody else after that person will post the same. >___< all that aside I'm not tired of Mysterio and hope he goes on to defeat his protege at WM one day (even though im sure it'll be the other way around)

One thing I've missed on this thread (maybe because I'm slightly hung over) is that Rey didn't have a meaningful feud in forever. Sure, the Shield "kidnapped" him, but that doesn't count.

The last two feuds that meant something were with ADR and Cody Rhodes and he did a good job of helping them get established on the bigger stage, as a veteran does with the newer guys.

Rey has a beautiful moveset and I never tire of seeing it and never will, neither will the kiddies. I get that pandering to the fucking children (Cena, Clay) get on some people's tits, but Rey isn't a serious contender anymore and if you have to sacrifice one guy to be a superhero to the kiddies, why not Mysterio? He's likeable and already wears the get-up.

I was really high on Sin Cara from his CMLL-work, but it's been too long now. He's bigger than Rey and extremely athletic, but the guy still can't speak properly and that means the audience can't relate, sadly. Even though rehashing the last living breath out of shit seems to be the backbone of pro wrestling, Rey is a unique legend and can't be replaced.

I agree with those who say Rey can't be replaced. Having said that, there isn't much he can do right now apart from strengthening the Tag Division with Sin Cara before they "implode" and have feud that concludes at a Wrestlemania or any other Big 4 PPV.

I think the issue is more "is Rey burned out" rather than fans tiring of him. It is clear they are building Del Rio as his replacement and to be fair, he is working right now in his new role. Sin Cara was a bust from day one but in reality Rey is dealing with far bigger issues than just relevance right now. Everyone has a point where the cons out weigh the pros and in Rey's case there aren't that many pros to him staying with WWE.

From a story perspective there literally is the Sin Cara match, then nothing. A heel run isn't gonna work for him, unmasking won't...

Many are speculating he might have failed his 3rd and that's why he is "off TV" as WWE prepares to deliver the first 3rd strike firing. But in reality, even if they do, Rey will still draw for at least one tour of Mexico... I think that is what will happen, sooner rather than later. He gets released, goes to rehab, tours Mexico and after the mandated year is ready to go again.

Is he the type of character we get bored with? Yes, there is little he can do to change it up and the "wow" factor has long since vanished. Indeed for a few years the only real "excitement" has been what character he'll dress as at Mania...

For Rey's sake I hope he hasn't lapsed, but he's one guy who would get a lot of understanding if he he has, far more so than a Randy Orton would as Rey is not someone with a bad rep but I think his time in WWE has come to an end for now, either way and I expect him to be the highest profile release regardless.
