The Switchblade, but Rey is great also so if he moves on, respect.

yeah this might be the easiest choice for me this whole tour its rey.

Rey. He has remained in a consistant uper to top postion for a number of years, put in consistent performances and always been pretty over. Its a good comeback given how his first World Title run got sandbagged.

never forget him winnning the wwe championship just to lose to Cena XD on same night just so they could do Punk vs. Cena title vs. title.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Rey-Rey for me . He's done more than he expected in WWE. He's pure class.

 

[Spitfire]

Jay White obvs.

Also went with the Switchblade here.

I love Rey to death, but when it comes to this century, even with the ratio of active years, Jay White just feels so much more like a better Wrestler and Performer nowadays. Rey always lacked a bit on the mic and with injuries and quite a lot of horrible booking holding him back, I always felt like his actual potential was kinda squandered. Yea, the WWE gave him a lot of Title runs and he was always on the upper card, but there is that nagging feeling that it wasn't quite about actually pushing Rey. Be it because they used him as a surrogate for Eddie after his passing, or because they had that little bit of extra money from merch in mind, so they had to have at least one masked Luchador always on a run.

Now if we'd have the 90s Rey Mysterio vs. Jay White, then I'd say fuck it... all the mic work in the world and Jay just being more of a complete package, wouldn't hold a candle to Mysterio's pure In-Ring work. He was on another planet in the 90s.

I disagree with that perception of Rey tbh. His early years on SmackDown were still great, maybe lose points bc the show sucked overall but he was a high point. I started getting over him after but then he left WWE, got those stemmies, and started killing it everywhere again and since returning to WWE I think he's been great again, just had some bad angles lol

I can see myself voting for him fairly far
