10 things you did not know about Rey Mysterio

#6 The Cruiserweight domination

Rey is a pioneer of the Cruiserweight division

WWE brought back the Cruiserweight division recently and one thing the fans missed the most is the presence of Rey Mysterio.

And there is a good reason for this. Mysterio is one of the pioneers of the Cruiserweight division throughout its existence from WCW to WWE. He has the most number of championship reigns in the division than any other wrestler with eight.

Mysterio first won the title back in 1996 in WCW where he defeated Dean Malenko. His last reign came in 2004. Mysterio would then later go on to enjoy a stint in the main event scene where he’d win the WWE World Heavyweight championship.
