REY MYSTERIO
S
tanding only 5-foot-6 and weighing barely 175 pounds, a lack of size did
not stop the incomparable Rey Mysterio from achieving giant dreams. As a
professional wrestler, Rey Mysterio has captured the WWE Championship
and outlasted 30 Superstars to win the Royal Rumble. Whether he was
standing up to a dangerous giant like Kane or flying down from the top of a
steel cage, The Ultimate Underdog is known for refusing to be intimidated inside ring.
First establishing himself in the cruiserweight and tag team divisions, the Mexican Superstar
soon proved that size doesn’t matter when he beat the odds to win the Royal Rumble
Match in 2006. From there, Mysterio accomplished the inconceivable when he won the
World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22, becoming the smallest Superstar
ever to hold that title.
Mysterio’s accomplishments did not end there. At Fatal 4-Way 2010, the
high-flyer captured his second World Heavyweight Championship
against Big Show, CM Punk and Jack Swagger. In July 2011
on Raw, Mysterio scored his first WWE Championship with
an emotional win over The Miz. The reign was short-lived,
however, as he lost the coveted title that same night
when he went one-on-one with fellow fan favorite
John Cena.

competitors of all time!
