Are we burnt out of Rey Mysterio?

It's nothing against him. I used to love watching him going back to the cruiserweight division in WCW. He was a top notch high flyer working with other top notch high flyers and was doing quite innovative work for what was the norm here in the States at the time.

I'm more than a little burnt out on Rey and have been for years.

18 years and almost as many knee surgeries later and he's just another 5 moves of doom guy. His finisher is so contrived and not-at-all-believable. His other four moves don't excite me either.

Rey absolutely has a place in wrestling but it shouldn't be anywhere near the top of the card. He's too injury prone to run with a belt and has little new to offer in the ring. Still, the kids love him and he's got name value. I think somewhere in the tag division where he can work with the younger talent is appropriate for him and it also helps keep him healthy because he's only working half the match. Perhaps he could offshoot a singles angle here and there but if it's not to get a younger guy over, it's a waste.

Having said all that, I don't expect Rey to be an active wrestler for more than another year or two. . . .
