7 Wrestling characters played by multiple men.

Can it be that there's more than one Rey Misterio? The answer may surprise you!

Gimmick #7: Rey Mysterio

Booyaka booyaka! Everyone knows the name, Rey Mysterio. He's been a fixture of professional wrestling since the 1990s, one of the rare performers to appear on WCW, ECW, and the WWE.

But something a lot of fans don't know is that Rey Mysterio is the SECOND incarnation of that character. Miguel Ángel López Díaz, the current Rey Mysterio's uncle, was the first man to don the eagle themed mask and tights.

Miguel's version of the character was no slouch, either, racking up over a dozen championship throughout the Mexican promotions. He also had the rare honour of wrestling at a Starrcade, where he teamed with Konnan to participate in the international tag team tournament.

Miguel made his nephew earn the right to be Rey Mysterio by wrestling under other gimmicks until he had proven himself. Now, he often calls himself Rey Mysterio Sr. because he feels his nephew has truly made the gimmick even better.
