Rey Mysterio - 61.....Leaving

Sabu But Fall Time If U Get Me Instead Of Just Turning Up Time 2 Time

WrestleZone has exclusively learned that WWE is under the impression that when Rey Mysterio's contract expires with the company in a little less than a year, the popular luchador will not be renewing.


"Rey feels his time in WWE is up," a key WWE insider told us this evening,"his performance in the Elimination Chamber is a perfect example of Rey being used in the right fashion by WWE management. He really worked hard to get Edge over the right way, even though it's obvious there are no big plans for Rey at Wrestlemania."


WrestleZone was also told about a creative meeting in which a suggestion was made that since Alberto Del Rio is the #1 contender to the World's Heavyweight Championship, consideration should be given to Rey Mysterio winning the title, and making the championship match at Wrestlemania a match between two Mexican nationals.


"The thought was to appeal to the large Latino community in Atlanta," we were told, "and to attempt to promote the match the same way UFC promoted Cain Velasquez's fight against Brock Lesnar."


WrestleZone was told the pitch was never even made to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, because both Raw lead writer Brian Gewirtz and Smackdown lead writer Michael Hayes have been told Mysterio "will most likely not be re-signing after his current deal is up."
We have been told WWE would like to do some sort of merchandise agreement with Mysterio, but the negotiations haven't gotten to that stage yet.

He put on a hell of a show last night, and I hope he stays but if he doesn't Mistico and ADR will have to both step up huge

WrestleZone, enough said.

They also broke Nash and Booker before anyone else and called Rock's return the day before and when other were saying Barker

Long story short, they are just like Meltzer. They throw enough shit out there and see what sticks.

 

[Dale]

It's virtually the same report that's been about for ages except they've thrown some current shit in there to try and make it relevant.

 

[SAIYANS]

You have a point, but usually Rey always gets something out of bitching. Paid vacations, raises, higher percentages, etc. So it will be interesting to see where this goes.

2 year old report.

What's this silliness about how WWE HAS to have a Mexican star? Somehow WWE managed to have its most popular era ever without any prominent Hispanic wrestlers in its employ.

Mexico buys more ppvs now than Canada according to their last financial reports, so that may be the reason

 

[Phenomenal1]

Hate to agree with PSYCH but when they had no Mexican stars they had Canadian ones (Bret Hart and then in early 97 the Hart Foundation, then Edge and Christian) so Canada was the main PPV buyer. Now they have Rey and Mexico buys more PPVs.

 

[AF.]

Reys absense would leave a fucking huge hole in the WWE.

Won't lie, I'll be devastated when he hangs up the boots...

Rey Mysterio took to his Twitter account to shoot down retirement rumors last night, writing, "The rumor is I might B retiring soon! NOT TRUE, got many years left of entertaining my FANS!U guys keep me going! Luv it! Los quieroUnChingo."
