He was known as Rey Mysterio Jr. (Spanish for “King of Mystery”) during his tenures with Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). According to ESPN, he is “widely regarded as the greatest cruiserweight in pro wrestling history”.
Mysterio is known for his high-flying Lucha libre wrestling style, which is credited with having helped kick-start the emergence of cruiserweight wrestling in the United States in the mid-1990s. Championships held by Mysterio over the course of his career include WWE’s World Heavyweight Championship, the WWE Championship, WCW/WWE Cruiserweight Championship, WCW World Tag Team Championship, WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship, WWC World Junior Heavyweight Championship, WWE Tag Team Championship, and WWE Intercontinental Championship.
