Rey Mysterio's Legendary Wrestling Facts

Here are some fried facts (fun, crispy, and maybe a little spicy) about the legendary luchador Rey Mysterio!

1. Masked Since Childhood

Rey Mysterio (real name: Óscar Gutiérrez) started wrestling at just 14 years old and wore his iconic mask from the very beginning, keeping the lucha libre tradition alive.

2. The Name 'Mysterio' Wasn’t His First Choice

Before becoming Rey Mysterio ('King Mystery'), he wrestled as 'Colibrí' (Hummingbird) and 'Rey Misterio'—his uncle (the original Rey Misterio) passed the name down to him.

3. WCW’s Cruiserweight Revolution

Mysterio was a key figure in WCW’s cruiserweight division in the late '90s, revolutionizing high-flying wrestling in the U.S. with matches against Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Psicosis.

4. The 619’s Real Meaning

His signature move, the 619, is named after the area code of his hometown—San Diego, California (even though he was born in Chula Vista, which is also in the 619).

5. WWE’s Smallest World Heavyweight Champion

At just 5’6', Rey became the smallest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history after winning the title at WrestleMania 22 (2006).

6. Mask vs. Mask Legend

In Mexico’s AAA promotion, Rey lost his mask in a Mask vs. Mask match against Psicosis in 1999—but he later regained the right to wear it.

7. Knee-Destroying Style

Mysterio’s high-risk moves have led to multiple knee surgeries—so many that WWE doctors once told him his knees looked like 'a 65-year-old man’s.'

8. Father-Son Legacy

His son, Dominik Mysterio, followed in his footsteps, becoming a WWE star—though they’ve had a rocky relationship (including a WrestleMania 39 match where Rey defeated Dom).

9. Almost Joined TNA Instead of WWE

Before returning to WWE in 2018, Rey was very close to signing with TNA (Impact Wrestling) but ultimately chose WWE for a Hall of Fame-worthy comeback.

10. Pop Culture Icon

Beyond wrestling, Mysterio appeared in movies (The Colón Family), video games (as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 11), and even inspired streetwear fashion.

Bonus: His Mask is Trademarked

Rey has copyrighted his mask designs—so nobody can legally replicate his iconic look without permission!

Rey Mysterio is a true underdog legend, proving that size doesn’t matter when you’ve got skill, heart, and an iconic mask!
