Rey Mysterio has always been one of the most inspirational Superstars of all-time. What he lacked in size, he always made up for with heart.

In 2006, JBL hand-picked The Great Khali to face World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio. Much to the delight of Bradshaw, Khali squashed the champ in a matter of mere moments. That victory was the catalyst for what would be a huge run for The Great Khali.

There's no disputing the legendary legacy that Rey Mysterio has built throughout his career. Even today, at 42 years young, Rey is still competing at an extremely high level. There have been rumours that Rey may very well return to the WWE before his career is completely over. While there's been no official confirmation, it would be nice to see Rey come back home for a farewell run.

Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
