Rey Mysterio's Replacement, or just another storyline?

[darbare]

CM Punk wearing his mask this past Friday Night has got me wondering....Is he the next replacement for Rey Rey? I personally wouldnt like to see this, but for the moment Im gonna play Devils Advocate....Rey is believed to be on his last remaining year or two in the company....Injuries and his style of wrestling put in this predicament but we cant complain cuz he is a legend....but, with Punk wearing the mask it got me thinking.....they need a replacement for Rey Rey.....they could actually use his straight edge gimmick for good one day and be an upstanding role model for kids in this PG era....theyll even buy his masks....so....is this the start of CM Punk the new age Rey Rey with him possibly being a role model and selling masks or is it a storyline....again, I would hate to see this happen as I believe he truly shines as a Charles Mansonish heel....whatya think

I think you're reading just a bit much into Punk wearing a mask. This is just like when Angle lost his hair. He wore a toupee/wig to hide it and Punk is just doing sort of the same thing. As soon as Punk's hair grows back, he'll lose the mask.

 

[Drunken Aviator]

its probably just to hide the seven staples he got in his head and further the storyline.
if anyone is to replace rey itll probably be kaval/low ki.

yeah, Punk is not replacing Rey, there wrestling styles are nothing alike, he is only wearing the mask until his hair grows back, its called covering it up. That is the only reason he is wearing the mask

Ummm, no. Punk is a heel, and I really can't see him turning face anytime soon. I really don't think WWE would want to encourage kids to wear the mask of a man that resembles a creepy cult leader. Punk is just wearing this mask until his hair grows back, and I really don't think there's anything else to it than that. Mysterio is the loveable little guy who everyone wants to root for. He will continue to sell masks until he retires.

just askin a hypothetical question cuz none of us really knows what could happen.....none of you know if theyll turn Punk face next week....they turned Randy and Edge face....anything can happen...theres no rules and regulations specifically on CM Punk not turning face....all Im saying

Punk will not turn face next week or in the next couple of months. I can guarantee that. He is a creepy and evil heel, not a cool heel. The crowd will not get behind him any time soon.

The crowd began to go apeshit for Orton before Wrestlemania, and they haven't stooped ever since. Edge got a huge pop when he returned at the Royal Rumble, but after that, the crowd never really accepted him as a true face. He would constantly receive mixed reactions. Also, Edge is a way better at being a heel than a face.....way better.

Punk is a heel, and will not be the next Rey. Punk will lose the mask when someone either rips it off or his hair grows to a decent length that doesn't look awful. Honestly, I think if he cuts his beard to the way he used to have it, he wouldn't look bad with a buzzcut. But that's just me thinking that. Punk won't have the mask for very long at all because we all know what he looks like without it, and WWE is teasing us from seeing him bald. And Punk will become the next Rey when Undertaker starts wearing pink and baby blue in his attire.

No way Punk replaces the Rey. Punk is heel first of all and there is no way they move back to a face considering how successful his heel run has been. Yes you say Orton, but they had no choice to turn him. The crowd popped like nuts for him despite being a heel. Edge was moved face, but look how long that lasted.

Like LJL said the mask is just to cover up the missing hair, just like Angle used the toupee. However I don't think Punk will wear the mask until his hair grows back. I expect him to lose it maybe at MITB or even just an episode of SD. Maybe a mask vs. mask match against Rey to end the feud. I just can't see the mask lasting long, but who the hell knows.

I think that punk having a mask is building to a mask vs mask match at summerslam which obviously rey wins (by then punk will have his hair back also) but to answer the question no i dont think he will be the next rey if anything that will be Kaval/Low-Ki

 

[Ruthless-RKO]

How can punk replace rey...he just wearing it to either hide the stiches or becuase his hair is gone, kinda like kurt angle did for a while back in 2002...as soon as his hair starts growing back, he'll take it off..

CM Punk's mask idea is just a momentary solution I think to further the storyline and embarrassment of it all, and that's about where the mask idea ends.

I don't see Rey Mysterio ever being replaced, the size of him, the mask, and the abilities in the ring is something that you have to look a long time to find the proper replacement for it, and therefore it'd be hard to replace Rey, and if they really were gonna replace him, it sure as hell wouldn't be with one of their current top heels who's working a great program currently.

 

[SuperKnockout]

I think that the mask will be used at Fatal Four way as a distraction. you saw Kane try to remove it? well what if Jack removes it and Punk rolls out of the ring? I agree with the idea that it is to cover the hair, HOWEVER I think it can have a good role in the Fatal four Way match.
