CAn still go. Was real good in the World Cup thing What Culture did. The Ospreay match definitely had a "feel" to it. He had some fun matches in border towns and PR IIRC that made tape from earlier this year as well. Pretty much never looks better than good, and still has flashes of true brilliance. One of the best wrestlers of all time.

I'll be honest: I haven't seen a match of his in years. I mean like half a decade kind of years. But the fact he's even mentioned is amazing to me. There's just never been anyone like him. A true living wrestling legend.

The Ospreay match worked. He's totally shot but he can still pull out a magic trick every once in awhile. I just want a damn apuestas match.

Rey Mysterio is one of my all-time favorites and I had him in my Top 10 last year based a lot on some LU stuff I loved. I need to get around to watching the WCPW thing, but until I do that the only Mysterio matches I have seen this year are The Crash handhelds, so it's house show main event Rey Mysterio. The thing is, he's really good at that, though. He still has excellent timing and pacing and all of his spots flow one into another so seamlessly. There's just never much of a sense of urgency around anything because you know he is going to send the crowd home happy. And he does. He is definitely making my list, but I am just not sure how to rank him. PROMOTION NAME | NAME OF SHOW | DATE OF SHOW | MATCH | NOTES | RATING | LINK | The Crash | Arena Coliseo Monterrey | 4/9/2017 | Penta 0 M, Rey Mysterio Jr., Garza Jr. vs. Nicho, Damian 666, Bestia 666 | Nicho wore his Psicosis mask. Started off with a short but really cool Bestia/Garza segment, then Penta and Bestia looked completely lost, then it devolved into a traditional FdT brawl. Very nostalgic garbage brawl, but these guys are still good at it. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqSTj-7DFvI&index=10&list=WL | The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 6/2/2017 | Daga, Garza Jr., Rey Mysterio vs. Damian 666, Mr. Aguila, Nicho | Fun throwback match. Mr. Aguila is huge. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYGMOiLaL_U&t=11s | The Crash | Palenque del FEX | 8/4/2017 | Penta 0 M, Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Brian Cage, Carlito | Fun, but very "house show" feeling, or maybe that is just a Carlito match. Rey was great, but Penta was working sort of the same style. Like, instead of being a vicious psycho he was hamming it up and working like the crowd wants to see his standard spots, like Mysterio or Cena or somebody. His spots/moves are still vicious, though, which made for a weird dynamic. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=CisoiqLxL4k | The Crash | Dome de San Luis Potosi | 8/10/2017 | Rey Mysterio, Rey Fenix, Blue Demon Jr. vs. Maximo, La Mascara, Rey Escorpion | Another very "house show" type of match, but Mysterio & Fenix's "house show" match is still great. Fenix looked great, again, and had a fun segment with Maximo built around reversing wrist locks. Nothing fancy, but still fun. The rudos even made Blue Demon's stuff somewhat fun. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bvnEzrLABE | CTLL MARTINEZ | Turf Zone Arena | 8/19/2017 | Rey Mysterio vs. Matt Cross vs. Xtreme Tiger vs. Ultimo Ninja | Fine but really sticks to the "only 2 guys in the ring at the same time" stuff, which keeps it from being anything special | 3 1/4 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYkKwltt08w&index=41&list=WL | The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 10/5/2017 | Rey Mysterio Jr., Penta 0 M, Brian Cage vs. La Mascara, Rush, Pierroth | Clipped. Starts with A Mysterio/Rush staredown, which is cool, but then turns in to a sort of by-the-numbers Ingobernables match. Which is fine. Not great, but fine. Some stiff shots. 2 very scary dives in a row but I guess nobody was hurt. Like a very, very good house show main event (which I guess it is). | 3 1/2 | youtu.be/X1_ZF1Tj-UA | The Crash | Auditorio de Tijuana | 11/4/2017 | Rey Mysterio vs. Rush vs. Pentagon Jr. vs. La Mascara | Clipped, but what was there looked good. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZOizlauH0w | The Crash | Poliforum La Fe | 11/6/2017 | Brian Cage, Rey Mysterio, Daga vs. Pierroth, Rush, La Mascara | Rush's gimmick of "I will piss off the crowd" REALLY works when he's against Rey Mysterio. Good match. Rey was great. | 3 1/2 | www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuFNo5WbGGE |
