- Kurt Angle is a 14-time professional wrestling world champion, with titles collected in WWE, TNA, and Japan. He is in both the WWE and TNA/Impact Hall of Fames, a two-time NCAA Division 1 National Champion, and has also won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1996 Summer Games with, as he likes to say, ‘a broken freaking neck.’ At every stop in his career, Angle has reached the top of the mountain, and now he’s taking his Three I’s; Intensity, Intelligence, and Integrity, to the podcast world as he joins host Conrad Thompson to take a look back at some of the matches, feuds and moments that turned an Olympic gold medalist into one of the greatest sports entertainers of all time. It’s True. It’s damn true

Edge is right about Rey retiring. I can't imagine what the Wrestling world will be when Rey retires. You'll never see another like him, no matter how many try to replicate his success.
The best masked and lil man wrestler that ever lived
I think a good example of that is Rey Fenix. He tries to emulate Rey Mysterio's style, but he pushes it too far and ends up on the injured list more often than he does actually wrestling. Rey knew just how far to push it, and that has given him the longevity to keep going even today, while I'll be surprised if Fenix is still around in 10 years. Not knocking him, when he is healthy he really is incredible to watch, but thats like a dozen matches per year, while he spends the rest of the year recovering from some insane injury.
Dude i just think a same! When edge say that i start thinking,thats ture! If u are or arnt rey fan you gonna see when rey is no more in there
Well don't be shocked if it's after this wrestlemania by dom
@@Patheticblackpiggy damn that wld be shocking and awesome at the same time 😅
Rey to me is what Cena and Hogan are to their fans. I just see Rey as one of my biggest heroes and his character has so much story as well as having the coolest merchandise of all-time. Literally adore all his masks. He really can do no wrong.
rey is talented but he never had the mainstream success those 2 had. those 2 were consistent main eventer rey and edge for that went in and out of main event scene . cena and hoga were face of wwe at one point
@@HhhHhhh-nu4lmnah edge was always in the main event scene from 2006-2011 when he became maineventer 11 time wc
@@HhhHhhh-nu4lmgood thing he said “TO ME” nut head
If his promo work was better I feel like he would have shot farther. One of my top 5. But that's only thing besides Vince not liking his size to main event.
@@ReFLexX_ii maybe but I feel like his promo work was fine I think they just booked his title runs poorly which didn’t help him have same level as cena
Rey is a generational talent, you don't see those types of guys come around too often.
Rey is one of the few wrestlers who could have a good match with anyone, which is amazing since his size could make his matches formulatic. He has classics, not just highlights.
Randy Orton said the same thing he can make you look twice as good and Rey Mysterio easy to work with
Exactly you nailed it
@@lucianotecuanapa9853 and the fact that it’s literally with everyone even Brock mentioned how he can wrestle Rey all day and they will have the greatest matches
I started watching wrestling in 2004 when guys like Taker, Kane, Show, HHH, Michaels, Angle, etc. were in their prime and guys like Cena, Orton, Batista, Lesnar, Mysterio, were stepping up. Today's kids will never know how amazing the talent was back then.
2006 for me, Rey got me into wrestling full-time with his Royal Rumble win. 1996-2008 if you were a fan of any type of promotion from WWE, WCW, TNA, ECW, ROH or NWJP, you got the best times.
@@mrmoviemanic1 Absolutely
Same here. I remember I couldn't wait to get the new video games that were out and see how they did HBK and Rey's finisher lol
Me too and looking back. We were apart of the last generation of talent that would carry the WWE really well. We were pretty lucky.
Same time that's the best time in wwe history
Rey Mysterio is definitely the most consistent wrestler ever.. lol. Been watching him for like 25 years
Randy orton id say
Rey is super underrated. He’s probably the best little man ever. Also he actually won the world title multiple times which is outstanding considering his size.
I think Rey is at least top 25 all time.
Him and Eddie always tend to make it there and usually side by side.
Hell top 15 to me
I think this is the perfect assessment of him. May not be the top 10, but I mean have you seen his highlights? So acrobatic, so consistent, so many great matches with legends, and not even one famous botch on his record.
Aside from the fact that he's my personal favorite wrestler, in the grand scheme of pro wrestling he is def one of the top 25 most important wrestlers ever.
Top 10 easily lol
Edge hit it right on the head, Mysterio has been consistent for so long he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Greatest luchador of all time
Gonna miss Rey Rey when he retires
I wonder how he will go out. Will Dominik be the one to end his career? Both said they really don’t want to wrestle each other. But it would be a great match if it did happen.
Man is a last of a dying breed tbh
Don't see a lot of high flyers carry on this many years, remaining higher than mid card - much less to still be a main eventer.
One of the biggest reasons why I stopped watching WWE
People that dont even like Rey are gonna miss him and they dont even know it yet
I have to agree with Adam Copeland.
Rey Mysterio doesn't get enough credit for still be at the top of his game at his age.
He should've had the recognition that Taker has right now but unfortunately, Rey Rey doesn't have the character that the fans can connected to.
At least Eddie Guerrero finally connects because of his "lie, cheat & steal" character.
Rey literally put Mexican wrestling on the map.
Eddie and Chavo also had a hand but they weren't Lucha Libre, they put Latinos on the map along with Conan.
Respect these legends man, they have paved the way for many to come.
I don’t watch wrestling anymore but I’m shocked Rey is still wrestling. I first watched rey in 97.. it’s almost 30 years later, incredible !
...besides his time wrestling in Mexico and Japan.
Rey Mysterio truly changed professional wrestling as a cruiserweight his size and to inspire other cruiserweight wrestlers to be consistent enough to win world titles and to prove that size doesn't matter
wasn't Kurt one of Rey's first feuds in the WWE?
Yes and probably one of the best in WWE.
Rey vs Angle at Summerslam 2002, the stuff of legend.
Think his first PPV match Summerslam 2002.
2006 Royal rumble is my all time favorite
I loved Edge and Rey Mysterio as a tag team back in 2002, they were so exciting together and lots of fun to watch, they were a huge part of the Smackdown six during the ruthless aggression and they had lots of classic matches every week. Rey Mysterio for me is the greatest cruiserweight of all time and could have a great match with anyone regardless of their size or weight, his program with Eddie Guerrero from 05 is still to this day my all time favourite
Edge and Rey were massive babyfaces in the dawn of that "Smackdown Six" era. I remember when they had their tag matches with the Guerreros and Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit. Those were incredible matches
A lot of people talk about how no one has anything bad to say about The Undertaker or Sting in interviews, but Rey is another guy that anyone I've heard talk about him not just says good things, but absolutely gushes about him.
No matter what era of Rey you look at, he was always good. Again, you hear a lot about Undertaker and Sting when you talk about guys who knew when to reinvent themselves with the times, and Rey checks that box too. The style he was wrestling in the early 2000s would STILL be ahead of it's time today if he were still capable of it. He has just adapted over time to his own physical limitations, but he's never stopped being a top tier performer. His mind for wrestling is just on another level.
I think he will go down in history as the greatest Luchador of all time. Like there are a lot of big name Luchadors in Mexico, but once you pull them out of Mexico, you find out how limited they are in the ring, like Sincara. You could put Rey in the ring with anybody in the world, working any style, and it will be good, if not great. he can work any style, any time period, any opponent, big, small, doesn't matter.
2002 was so underrated in smackdown. Angle VS Mysterio at Summerslam & the tag matches involving chris Benoit & Edge.
Underrated? LMAO everyone knows how good that year was for SD
Honestly even more so what made them underrated and those times on smackdown atleast just a little bit more exciting
I gotta say it was tazz and michael coles commentary those smackdown years was actually really great
rey is one of my freaking heroes since i been a little kid man he deserves so much more respect and also the wwe should treat him better!! glad that edge said "legend gets thrown around alot but he is a living legend" because he is actually a freaking legend
Been watching uncle rey for 15 years always tuned in always stayed amazed the master of the 619❤
100% agree. Rey is not my favorite in ring wrestler but have HUGE respect for him.
Rey is a future hall of fame
great to see rey truly getting credit he deserves and by one of the best themselves
And he never turned heel at any point in his career but still was loved his whole career
You can tell how passionate edge gets when talking about Rey, true fan and a friend.
Rey Mysterio is the greatest luchador of all time
Damn it’s funny how time flies here I am listening to edge talking about what will happen when Rey mysterio retires and i remember it like just yesterday when I was in 8th grade watching smack down on a Thursday night and watching Rey mysterio debut in wwe. Time flies man, time flies.
This is an eye opener to anybody who's been following Rey and has been a fan of his for however long. Make the most of the in-ring time he has left in him!💯
You’d have to grow up in the early 2000s to understand how special Rey and edge are.
Rey will always be a legend. No matter what. Just knowing he makes kids and other kids who grew up watching him appreciated him doing such a great job. He will always be badass, goat, and ultimate underdog. Rey needs one more title shot, or maybe a wwe championship for once. And when he retires it will bring us tears towards everyone.
Rey was my favorite wrestler when I was a kid he will always hold a special place in my heart
I still feel Edge should have had his last match in WWE vs Rey instead of Sheamus. Nothing against Sheamus but Rey and Edge have so much history. They were tag champs, rivals and have real life friendship.
The way the crowd reacted when he said he was gonna quit WWE speaks volumes
My favorite match is every Rey vs Orton match. They just seemed to be a great combo in the ring. Very underrated matches.
Randy Orton said that he loved working with Rey Mysterio it was easy and he make you look twice as good
Edge is completely right. Rey IS phenomenal. That's the truth. He is extremely underrated, and he shouldn't be after everything he's done. Even Alberto Del Rio said it, that his wife at the time still put him second behind Rey. He agreed of course.
Loved watching Rey Mysterio in those WCW cruiserweight matches in the mid 90s
They don't appreciate you till you unfortunately pass away, it's the famous
You don't know a great thing till is gone
He's a living legend put lucha libre on the map the greatest masked wrestler to ever live world heavyweight champion, wwe champion worked in Japan, ecw, wcw, wwe been there done that
Edge has a lot of respect for Rey mysterio ive always seen it since early 2002 smack down days
Mysterio is 2nd to none. One of the highest icons.
Rey Mysterio will always be my all time favorite wrestler. Definitely a wrestler who doesn’t get his just due or credit enough. Unfortunately Edge is right, people won’t understand what Rey truly mean to wrestling until he retires. Hopefully not too soon, even tho I know it’s approaching. But hopefully when he does he will pass the mask to Dominick, that would be real cool. A lucha legend 619.👑💯
He is one of the greatest to ever do it.
I wish we got a chance to watch Rey Mysterio wrestle Bret or Owen Hart
I agree with everything Edge said.
Rey clearly takes excellent care of himself I think that's why he's been able to stay so consistent
Everything Edge said can be applied to John Morrison and Jeff Hardy.
Morrison is a mid-carder. He’s not even in the conversation. Jeff’s demons got the best of his career. And both are “indie” sized, while Rey is undersized. And Rey is simply much better than both in the ring.
Yup, Johnny's as underrated as they come. Anybody who doesn't know this hasn't taken the time to check out his work in other promotions. He was pretty great in Impact and Lucha Underground.
He'll probably have a good run in AEW.
Jeff Hardy had so much lined up for his career and he blew it
don't get me wrong, he still had a great career but it could have been a lot bigger
Morrison is great but too flashy I mean his finisher the starsh*t pain looks like it'll tickle you. Jeff's a legend too although I'd argue some of his matches look repetitive so in that case Rey's better cuz throughout his matches he hardly did anything twice especially in his prime.
Rey Mysterio is THE MOST influential modern-day wrestler in all of North America, and even Japan.
When it comes to Luchador Wrestling, he popularized it globally and helped Mexican wrestling reach new heights.
Rey is awesome. Easily in the top 20 best Wrestlers of all time, dude was like Spider-Man in the WWE!
Edge Is Edging!
Edge is absolutely right, people *need* to give Rey way more credit cause it is severely deserved.
I never took him for granted. Best wrestler in history
Ray Mysterio is so unrated and it is all about his size, Vince has always and will always hate the 'small' guy. Vince would trade 10 guys the size of Cena for one the size of the Big Show no matter how the crowd would react to that person. Every time WWE had forced a superstar it has always been a 'small' wrestler that Vince hated all along. They had to force the John Cena (rapper) they had to force Eddie Guerrero (Eddie admits this). an interview was done with a Cena is which he stated he was given to green light to win his first WWF Championship off JBL and while in the meeting Vince 100% would be the worst idea ever and the crowd would like buy it and so many of other 'smaller' wrestler who have become crowd favorites basically had to force Vince threw other channels to get championships or pushes.
Without Rey or HBK, 80% of talents wouldn't have a job
If u listen to ray mysterio a lot of times , he always talks about how great the edge is in wresling
It's going to be amazing when his son ends his career at Wrestlemania one day
Rey is beloved and rightfully so. Agreed that he is a legend and a special talent.
The only way Rey should retire is by giving his son the mask after a hard fought loss in a Hell In A Cell match. Give his son the mask just like his uncle did for him. A mask less Rey just walk off and watched Dom celebrating with the mask. Now Dom can sport a all new look.
Rey Mysterio is by far my favorite wrestler. It always made me so mad how he never got the push he deserved. Yeah, he has been world champion but it feels like it was a "here you go, now you can rest in peace", because his title reigns have been horrendously booked.
In the mount Rushmore of wrestlers, you have to put Rey there.
Rey is super talented. It drives me crazy how poorly he was booked by Vince.
I always appreciated rey form everyone ive heard no ones complained like kane
Kalisto and Phonix could probaly match a young Rey Mysterio in term of ability.
He walked so guys like Daniel Bryan can run, the greatest luchador to ever lace up his boots
ABility and aura wise, the closest person I have seen to Rey over the last 15 years has been Rey Fenix
To us Mexicans and Mexican Americans (and yes there is a difference don't @ me) he is our Bruno samartino
My nephew is now 4’11/90lbs, maybe he can get a title run next
I have yet to hear a bad thing said about Rey ever.
Imagine being kurt angle and you say rey is small 😂😂😂
Kurt is about how tall? 5’10?
I know people said they hated his run in WCW after he lost the mask but I loved rey without the mask when he was with the filthy animals
High flying rey paved the way!!!
Edge is right about Rey. He is the one who inspired me. At first he just inspired me to try and do things I didn't think I was able to do. I figured if a guy at that size can wrestle with guys nearly twice his size, than I can do anything I set my mind to. It seemed like once I got to be a fan, everything fell into place. My boss saw something in me, that I can't explain to this day. But after a few months of getting in shape and putting on some muscle, I decided to take up lucha libre and wrestling training. I thought of what he would have done in my shoes. Like him, I never gave up and never let my size be my crutch or hold me back. Now I look back at myself and it's hard to believe I've been doing this for 12 years. My life has turned around so drastically and it's really thanks to finding out who he really was, a strange dream, and just the inspiration he gave to me.
You're right. I don't know how he isn't more appreciated after seeing Sin Cara & Kallisto be botch machines
I Watched Rey Mysterio at young age very talented kid and omg watch his ECW 1996 year AMAZING
Ray the flying goat
One of my favorite wwe stories was Kurt angle vs Rey Mysterio and another was edge vs Rey Mysterio, I would have liked to see a triple hhh vs Rey Mysterio story, that would have been a KABOOM!
Rey the best high flying wrestler ever. The GOAT ❤ it’s never easy to do this for 30-35 years. I really hope wwe gives Rey mysterio a better story than the one with his son and Ripley
Rey is a proper GOAT! He is a big personality, big talent, big charisma all wrapped up in a little package. Some of the toughest, greatest men arent always the biggest one in the playground and Rey is living proof of that.
I love how much respect Edge/Adam has for his friend Rey. When i was in my late teens early 20s when Edge started working in the WWE im ashamed to say i didnt appreciate him as a wrestler. But now he is one of my favourite current performers and one of my favourite GOATS. Im glad hes had the opportunity to come back, especially because i got to see him for the amazing star he is. So i agree with him when he says that when Rey retires people who are like how i was back then will be like 'but whos gonna fill that hole he's left now?'
Love rey and he's in my top 3 personally, but I think another man in my top 3 can be credited with smaller performers breaking thru and that man is shawn michaels
I started watching WWE because of Rey!! I had seen a few shows here and there when growing up. But after I saw Rey flying for the first time, I was hooked!!!
Edge right about the Daniel Bryan comment, Rey opened doors up for alot of folks.
Rey always been my favorite in ring worker of all time period. Sometimes people laugh at me when I say Rey is best. He’s not greatest talker but make up for it with his abilities.
Rey is a hell of a wrestling entertainer but to be brutally honest he's not much of mic guy. When he gets the mic he's cheesy. Rey can't sell with his words he's more of a wrestling showman and that's fine
I've loved Rey ever since wCw. What a legend
I would argue Rey mysterio is one of the most recognizable wrestlers ever alongside with hogan austin taker and the rock the guy is a legend i can't deny that
One of my dream matches is me vs Rey mysterio
Now Rey is going in the hall of fame couldn’t be happier
I love him and they don't give him a world title shot. Still using him for sales💯
The most powerful friend wrestler on earth is edge n ray mysterio
As a San diegan Rey was my favorite. He's amazing
When people ask I always say rey could be on the Mount rush more
My only issue is how shitty he was booked in 06 the way he was performing even before eddies desth he was destined to be a main event player at some point in 2005 he was picking up steam
rey mysterio is very underrated absoulete legend i think he doesnt get much credit as cena or the other popular wrestlers.
Literally will never be another Rey
I have no idea how I’ll handle Rey retiring
I started loving WWE because of Rey.
Legend ❤
They talk on him retiring when hes still the best in the world
I was really a big fan of Rey back in the day and still am, and feels like he isn’t appreciated anymore
I could never connect with Rey, and it sounds silly but I think it was the mask.
Ray might be the most beloved guy in wrestling.
Rey and Aj are why Bryan Danielson was pushed to the moon
Mysterio is my favourite but I think Daniel Bryan would have broken through even without him.
Maybe as a mid card person or tag team. Rey Mysterio is the true reason why Daniel Bryan makes it to main event.
A Goat that's all
