Rating: Summary: DVD to Early in WWE Career? Nonetheless, Great Work!!! Review: "Rey Mysterio: 619" is a very good piece of home video put together by the WWE. Although, Rey has only been in the WWE for two years, he has been in the sports entertainment business for a very long time. This DVD may have been put out pretty early in Mysterio's career, but who cares. It is a great DVD. The main portion of this DVD is a biography on the life of Mysterio. It talks about him getting involved in wrestling and follows his career in Mexico, WCW, and WWE. Mysterio also offers commentary on some his best matches.
As always, WWE puts a lot of very good extra matches. In this case there are ten matches.
1. Rey Mysterio , Latin Lover, & Heavy Metal vs. Fuerza Guerrera, Psicosis, & Madonna's Boyfriend (AAA When Worlds Collide)
A real fast paced match. Psicosis went on to a productive career in WCW. This match shows Mysterio at a young age and shows that he had a great innovative attack back then. (8.5/10)
2. Rey Mysterio vs. Dean Malenko (WCW Great American Bash 1996 - Cruiserweight Title)
This was Rey's first match in WCW. Great match with two very contrasting styles by both men. They worked very well together. (9/10)
3. Rey Mysterio vs. Psicosis (WCW Bash At The Beach 1996)
Amazing match. The fans got to see two very new styles in this match. Both pulled off death defying and innovative moves that the fans in North America had never seen before. Very fast paced and high flying match. (9/10)
4. Rey Mysterio vs. Dean Malenko (WCW Nitro 7/8/1996 - Cruiserweight Title)
This was the opening match on Nitro the day after Hogan joined the NWO. Good way to kick off a great show. It is a very quick match. (8/10)
5. Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero (WCW Halloween Havoc 1997 - Mask vs. Title Match)
This match was voted Match of the Year for 1997. It does not disappoint. It is one of my favorite matches of all time. Very exciting fast paced match with great spots and close falls. (10/10)
6. Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho (Bash At The Beach 1998)
Good match, but way to quick. It is only like 6 minutes. (8/10)
7. Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero (Smackdown 7/23/2002)
Rey's WWE debut. Not the best match by these two, but it is important for history's sake. (8/10)
8. Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle (Smackdown 9/12/2002)
Very good match. It is not as a great as their match at Summerslam 2002, but very good nonetheless. Good spot with the Angle slam off the top rope. (9/10)
9. Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit (Smackdown 9/26/2002)
Another very good match. On interesting note, this was actually not the best match of the night. Edge and Eddie Guerrero had a no DQ, no countout match that turned into a ladder match. Anyways, still a good match. These three mixed well together. (9/10)
10. Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble (Smackdown 11/21/2002)
This was an ok match, but the two have had way better matches. I don't understand why they picked this one out of all matches. (7.5/10)
Another extra is a Confidential feature on the "619."
Good DVD. I wish they would have included Rey's match with Kurt Angle at Summerslam 2002 and some of his tag matches with Edge against Angle and Benoit or the Guerrero's. Still a great DVD.
I definately recommend picking this one up.
Overall Rating: 8.5/10

Rating: Summary: A MOST HAVE FOR "619" AND WRESTLING FANS !!!!!!!! Review: AT LAST!!! A DVD FOR ALL TIME SUPERSTAR Oscar Gutierrez Gonzales (wich known as Rey Mysterio) with very rare extras(AAA match and missed WCW and SmackDown matches). If you missed the PPV or looking for the "RARE",then this DVD is what you are looking for.
Rating: Summary: Non-Fan Perspective Review: By today's standards, I am not a fan of Rey Mysterio. I used to be when he first came into World Championship Wrestling, and the inclusion of those matches sparked my interest in the DVD. I don't remember when I lost interest in Rey Mysterio, but it must have been around the time he lost his mask (no worries here; his face is blurred in maskless shots). The program was different than most other "WWE Personality" DVD's issued. In recent releases, the wrestlers have been less kayfabe than this program. Kurt Angle speaks as a heel, and Rey Mysterio constantly jabs on A-Train for the injury. It had been so long since I've seen interviews done in character that it threw me off. The program started discussion the size difference between himself and other SuperStars, using Albert as an example. In that match, Rey Mysterio suffers an injury and the program follows his rehabilitation, which includes a trip back to Mexico, which is where the chronicle begins on how his career went from Mexico to today. The extras are great features as the matches capture the energy of Rey Mysterio, and the inclusion of Rey Mysterio/Psychosis was a blessing considering the history of those men. For Rey Mysterio fans, this DVD is a must-have. For wrestling historians that want to build their DVD collection, this DVD will do the trick. For the casual fan that only sees Rey Mysterio when they're waiting for Brock Lesnar, that might be the only person for whom I would recommend a different DVD. (Brock Lesnar's DVD is schedule for an August release.)
Rating: Summary: HIGH FLYING 619 HUMMINGBIRD! Review: DVD was great! Rey Mysterio is so entertaining, and we enjoyed seeing Rey's history starting at the beginning, to present matches in the WWE. DVD has great extras and was worth getting. One of the best stars in the WWE up to date! You won't be disappointed! We've watched it at least 3 times since we got it yesterday!

Rating: Summary: Rey Mysterio-The future is here... Review: I bought the WWE Rey Mysterio DVD yesterday. I have to say it was very well put together. Sure it's a little soon for a DVD, but they managed to but some excellent matches on there as part of the extras. The good thing is for hardcore WWE fans they left off matches we would already have especially from PPV's. They have some of his best WCW matches, and a lot of his stuff from Smackdown. There is even a match from 1994 back when he was in AAA IWC. The 1 hour story they do on him is one of the best and really goes into where Rey grew up and explains the history of lucha libre and "the mask". He visits his old neighborhood, there are interviews with his parents, and look at his home and other WWE superstars that talk about Rey and his influence on the sport and how he works with Heaveyweights. I was very pleased. Great comp for any fan of Rey Misterio. I was pleased to see the Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero from Halloween Havoc 1997. It was a gem. Worth the price
Rating: Summary: Good DVD Review: I thought this was one of the best WWE dvd's ever. It contains ten rare bonus matches. The first is from 1994, it's a six man tag match featuring Rey Mysterio, Heavy Metal & Latin Lover against Fuerza Guerrera, Psicosis, & Madonna's Boyfriend. I gave this match a 3.5/5, because there wasn't as much action as there could of been. The next is Rey's debut against Dean Malenko, this is Rey's WCW debut, pretty good match, I gave it a 4/5. The third is against Rey's longtime rival Psicosis, the match started out slow, the pace quickened towards the end. I gave it a 3/5. The fourth is against Dean Malenko, this is Rey's first Cruiserweight Title victory. I gave it a 4.5/5. The fifth is against Eddie Guerrero, this is a great match. I gave it a 5/5. The sixth match is against Y2J, another great match. I gave it 4.5/5. I'm sure that must WWE fans saw the last four matches, since they were all on Smackdown, last year. We'll I hope this review was helpful.
Rating: Summary: 6-1-9 Review: If you are looking for an interesting DVD, this is the one. It goes from his personal life like him getting his tattoos and talking about past to his incredible career before and in the WWE. Plus, every extras was real good.

Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: Maybe I'm just utterly amazed by the Ric Flair DVD I saw before this one. Don't get the wrong idea. This is a very good DVD, perhaps even a great one at that. But it has its flaws, and they are very noticeable. Personally, the hiding of Mysterio's face is INSIPID. It is an insult to the intelligence and childish. It would have been appreciated had they included the following matches, which he was maskless in: WCW Greed 2001 (WCW's final PPV) - Cruiserweight Tag titles - Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman v. Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo WCW Nitro - March 1999 - Cruiserweight title - Billy Kidman v. Rey Mysterio This one really irks me, because there are CLIPS of the match, and it's only available if you recorded the broadcast... Why in hell this was left out is beyond me: WWE Smackdown - November 7, 2002 - WWE Tag titles - 2/3 Falls - Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit v. Edge and Rey Mysterio (Edge and Mysterio won this match, by the way) This match would have been nice as well: WWE Smackdown - November 14, 2002 - Eddie Guerrero v. Rey Mysterio Instead of those classic matches, the WWE decides to stick these on here: WCW Bash At the Beach 1998 - Cruiserweight title - Rey Mysterio v. Chris Jericho (I love Jericho, but this is blatanly egotistical of him to demand us to watch this garbage) WWE Smackdown - November 21, 2002 - Rey Mysterio v. Jamie Noble Oh, one more NEGATIVE comment: I HATE the way the WCW matches are treated. Here are examples... WCW Great American Bash 1996 - my recording has better picture and sound quality than the DVD version WCW Bash At the Beach 1996 - same as GAB 1996, in fact, the sound is WORSE WCW Nitro - July 8, 1996 - the match is CLIPPED ALL of the WCW matches are only shown BELL TO BELL. No intros, no post-match celebrations. Kinda takes away the excitement. As for the WWE matches, I just wish the opponents' intros were shown as well. Oh, and why on God's green earth is a Rey Mysterio LOSS to Kurt Angle on this DVD? However, the good outweights the bad on this DVD: The WCW matches are excellent, especially the Halloween Havoc match, which is worth the price alone. The debut match is utterly tremendous, and the Bash At the Beach 1996 match with Psychosis is one of the greatest openers of all-time. The three-way Smackdown match with Angle and Benoit is also stellar. Thumbs up, but don't get angry at any of the bad on this very good DVD.
