Rey Mysterio = Dink
Posted: Mon Nov 25, 2019 7:54 am
I bet Mysterio ends up in AEW next year after his Dink mask at Survivor Series.
This gimmick has to be a slap in the face to a 25-year veteran who has given everything to a company that undervalued him until he was brought in as a piece of the company they acquired.
Despite the 30-seconds worth of handicap 2v1 where the Mysterio family got some pop this was a squash match with a dwarf clown gimmick. It certainly doesn’t count as a babyface comeback when there’s a numbers advantage but that’s what was booked here.
Don’t get me wrong, I believe Brock Lesnar has a lot of value in a WWE ring. But from the beginning, this match screamed of a job and no surprises were given.
The issue for WWE is the fact that Rey signed a short extension to his contract which is up in a years time should he choose to exercise his release clause.
I, for one, will be hoping to see a Mysterio, Lucha Bros vs The Elite feud this time next year.
