Opinions:
“Mysterio could be the greatest cruiserweight wrestler of all time. His innovative move-set helped inspire a generation of wrestlers that we are now witnessing & his work will continue to do just that. He broke down barriers for the lucha libre style in the United States & achieved his biggest accolade when he won the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22. He’s a definite future Hall of Fame wrestler and will hopefully have another run in WWE before it is all said and done.” — Jay Alletto
“Rey Mysterio is one of the greatest high-flyers in the history of professional wrestling, and helped jump-start the rise of the cruiserweight in the US during his time with WCW. With WWE he was the ultimate underdog who went on to become a Royal Rumble winner and three-time world champion. Watching Rey Mysterio wrestle is truly a thing of beauty. I will gladly place Rey Mysterio in the top 30 everyday of the week.” — Matt Burgess
“I talked above about someone who changed the game for future generations. Well, the same applies for Rey Mysterio. Someone who worked incredibly hard to get lucha libre big in the United States, Rey Mysterio has opened the door for superstars like Kalisto, Sin Cara, etc., but not only as high flyers, but as interesting and investible characters, as we saw from Rey leading into WrestleMania 22. He definitely deserves to be on this list.” — Eron Ramadanov
