There is an entire generation of Superstars who've grown up idolizing Rey Mysterio. And it's not even male Superstars only. Female stars like Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss have often said in the past that they were huge fans of Rey Mysterio growing up. I think it's fair to say that Rey Mysterio will certainly enter the WWE Hall of Fame someday in the distant future.

My point is that someone who's had the career that Rey Mysterio has does not need the title. Andrade, on the other hand, may be a familiar face to those who watch the WWE product, but is hardly in the same league as Rey Mysterio. He may get there someday, but it's still an uphill climb for the promising wrestler.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Andrade needed the title far more than Rey Mysterio.
