Summary: Deserving of a B, not an A
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.

Summary: It made me throw up because I have motion sickness
Review: Rey Mysterio Jr is one of the best high-flyers in the wrestling world today. He was in the original 4-man line-up of The Filthy Animals, and is one of the most recognizable athletes in professional wrestling.
Rey started out as a wrestler at the age of 16 in Mexico under the name 'Colibri'. This was after only two years of training by his uncle, Rey Mysterio. After wrestling independent shows in California, and after his success south of the border, his uncle persuaded him to change his ring name to 'Rey Mysterio Jr'.

They began tagging together drawing much fan support and after Rey Mysterio jumped ship to the AAA, Jr. went along with him.

Many stories have been told that Rey used to do his Math Homework in the locker room before matches, but he soon left High School in the 11th grade to become a full-time wrestler.

He soon found his ideal opponent: Juventud Guerrera. The two had many memorable matches, and both Rey Mysterio and Fuerza Guerrera(Juvi's father) became involved in the fued. He also fought Psychosis to many classic matches. They claim to have wrestled eachother over 150 times.

Jr soon found major fan support abroad as he wrestled briefly in Japan and then had a short stint with ECW. Then WCW gave him a call.

The US fans were amazed at Rey's high flying talent and good mat skills. The match which is thought to establish him as a star was his win over Psychosis at Bash at the Beach 1996. Mysterio reversed a Splash Mountain into a hurricanrana of the top-rope to seal the win in the opening bout of the card. This was the same night in which the nWo formed.

He went on to have famous clashes with Jushin 'Thunder' Liger and Eddy Guerrero, the last of which was when Guerrero pinned Rey at Halloween Havoc '98. As a result of this, Jr was forced to join the LWO. At first he was a reluctant member of the group, not happy with their evil ways and cheating during matches. But when the rest of the faction took the money from Ric Flair to stop the madness, Rey suprisingly kept on his shirt.

When the nWo Wolfpac reformed, they went on a mission to destroy any other organisations. With Rey the sole member left, he refused to take off the LWO shirt, and Konnan defended him for it. As a result. 'K-Dogg' was booted from the Wolfpac.

This led to a tag-team match against Kevin Nash and Lex Luger at Superbrawl '99, where the stipulation was Rey's mask against Miss Elizabeth's hair. After interference, Rey and Konnan went down to a loss and Mysterio was forced to unmask. This perhaps was blessing in disguise, as it only earned him more popularity.

Rey wanted revenge on Nash, and he pinned him cleanly in the middle of the ring on NITRO the day after Superbrawl. He then went on a winning streak, defeating Super-Heavyweights Scott Norton and Bam Bam Bigelow in consecutive weeks. When Nash and Rey met again at Uncensored, 'The Giant Killer' was on the verge of victory, until Lex Luger interfered and Nash got the win.

After this, he started tagging with Kidman, and they won the Tag Team Championship after fueding with Dean Malenko/Chris Benoit and Raven/Perry Saturn. Rey then went on to capture the World Cruiserweight Title for a record fifth time.

Rey then joined the ultimately unsuccessful No Limit Soldiers group with Konnan, but when it collapsed, he formed The Filthy Animals along with Konnan, Kidman and long-time enemy Eddy Guerrero.

After fueding with The Revolution, he was sidelined with a knee injury. After returning when Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff came to power in WCW, he had a brief stay in the New Blood faction with the rest of the Animals, and soon it was revealed that Tygress was his girlfriend.

The Filthy Animals soon turned face again, and have more popularity than ever.

After some absents Mysterio came back but this time in the WWE and got a shot at the Cruiserweight championship at Wrestlemania XIX against Matt Hardy.

10 Bonus Matches including
-Rey Mysterio vs. Dean Malenko at Great American Bash 96
-Rey Mysterio vs. Dean Malenko at Nitro 96
-Rey Mysterio vs. Chavo Guerrero at Smackdown 02 (wwe debut)
-Rey Mysterio vs. Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit at Smackdown 02

Summary: Wine me, dine me, 619 me...
Review: This DVD is excellent - one of the few DVDs that head all the way back into the past. Covering everything from Rey training with his uncle to his Wrestlemania loss, including WCW days, this DVD is a must-buy for fans of wrestling - even if you're not a fan of lucha libre.
Some of the extras include his cruiserweight championship matches from WCW, and some of his stand out WWE matches.
If you highlight one of the first seven matches under the 'Extras' heading and press 'left' with your DVD remote, you get seven Rey Mysterio debut promos - and if you highlight the 'Who's That?' chapter under the 'Jump To' heading you can see Rey in a 'WWE Anthology' clip talking about his music.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: He's amazing to watch but....
Review: This dvd was at a good price and Ive always enjoyed watching him wrestle. The problem was the documentary was a joke, espeically when he talked about his mask. Its funny how he didnt talk about losing his mask in WCW then showing up in WWE with it on. Thats a big no no in Mexican wrestling (Not going explain, read it yourself). It didnt do him justice, and was like Hogan and Lesnar's dvds-just cashing in on who is hot at the moment. Anther big problem I had was his WCW matches. They were amazing but as soon as he pinned his challenger, it stopped. It sucks espeically when he wins the cruiserweight title, and you dont get to see him awarded the title. In a great match, Rey pins Chris Jericho as Dean Malenko comes to ringside. He steps on the apron as Rey wins, and it just stops there. What the hell is that about? His WWE matches, you get to see him celebrate and the WCW matches are just cut off. I hope the Eddie Guerrerro DVD is not like that. Rey is amazing talent and fun to watch, but this dvd is poorly done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: This is a great DVD. It shows Reys background and how he got into the business and became what he is today. There is great bonus matches from WCW, ECW and WWE and his debut. This is a great DVD not only for Rey Mysterio fans but for anyone who likes the WWE.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who's that jumpin' ou the sky? R......E.....Y Mysterio
Review: This is one awesome DVD. Rey Mysterio is one of my favorite cruiserweights.(next to Ultimo Dragon, of course) He is one of the most acrobatic superstar ever. This video goes inside Rey's childhood, his introduction to wrestling to WCW and WWE. It shows his WCW Debut, 1st Cruiserweight title win, WWE Debut, and much more footage.
