Rey Mysterio continues to work in 2024 at the age of 49. Growing up in a wrestling family based out of Mexico, Mysterio quickly became a professional. He is a poster boy for the lucha libre movement — and for good reason. Rarely do you see a wrestler cultivate a skill set with such a combination of natural fluidity and technicality in the ring. Mysterio often puts his body on the line — springing off ropes and functioning as a pseudo-acrobat. But, there’s so much more to his performance. Mysterio wrestles much bigger than his 5’6″ frame would indicate. He knows how to get over with the crowd, and his showmanship in the ring is simply phenomenal. Few — if any his size have been as naturally gifted as Mysterio.
