If the U.S. champions are built like Cesaro and R Truth it doesn't look good for Rey Rey.. He's not gonna do any heels any favors because his slaying can't be top news when hes not even a dragon (anymore..).. The best way for him to help others his through the tag team division like with Sin Cara. Him leading them to the tag title would build him up as the new top luchador and he could actually use some of Rey's moves after they use them together.

The problem is no one lays on the second rope like that in any other match. He also has to take a long pause. when the crowd sees the set up, everyone stands. rey has to give everyone time to see it. people hate missing a finisher live.

rey and sin cara was a terrible tag team. they never had any flow. both of them are much better singles competitors. just because they both wear masks, doesn't mean they have to team up. sin cara beat cesaro last week, it looks like he might be getting a singles push. 619 will get a big pop after returning from injury. i think a transition title run to give his last wm match a little meaning would be a good send off. us title makes sense because he would then have held every current title in the company.

Well the verdict is in, most people on here are oozing with cynical observations and negative vibes. All it takes is a vibe dictated by the op.

So Rey's finisher is flawed in that it doesn't parallel something we can imagine happening in real life? Does that mean that his opponents are flawed for selling it? When two wrestlers exchange punches like drunk chimpanzees, you imagine that happening?

Good fucking grief people. Rey adds a different kind of wrestling to the dynamic, some of you are bored of it already because you're just malcontent sacks of shit with crass sympathies for whatever the fuck attempted to entertain you.

When Rey takes down a bigger opponent, they grant Rey spots that involve his speed and agility overcoming size and strength. Is it convincing enough for you? Hell no, but then you're fucking stupid for expecting something that looks more like a shoot fight and less like a pro-wrestling match.

Rey has capital with the fan base, if he appears for any reason people will buy tickets just for that. He is worth every penny they pay him because he's a perennial favorite in a business that at it's core is a massive popularity contest.

I understand believing that with medical bills being what they are today, it might cost more to heal him than he brings in. Let's not micromanage the shit out of his wrestling ability just to float our supposedly high brow insights.

I think its time for Rey to hang up the boots, gracefully might I add, before WWE management is forced to cut him off. Lets face it, the product has moved far beyond Rey Mysterio. Coming off of Eddie's death, WWE never gave much thought to giving Rey the boot during his first series of injuries. However, its evident that the WWE Universe doesnt hold Rey to the same regard it once did. Before his last injury he was slated to be WWE Champion, but now he's teaming with Sin Cara and barely getting a reaction with that. Thats how much his stock has fallen. Its not worth WWE's time and money to keep Rey around. What he physically had to offer has come to an end. Storyline wise I can see him managing Sin Cara or something but then again that would have to lead somewhere. And theres still the money factor. Give him his last Mania match and let him go his way. Rey has had a storied career but he is not worth what he is being paid.

I pretty much stopped carrying. I don’t like to see him anymore. The 610 has gotten lazy with that weird looking splash. Don’t get me wrong I don’t wish him harm or happy that he is hurt. Just not interested in watching him no more.
