Well, what did you think of the big debut? The crowd seemed to be hot for Rey and the match was great (big ups to my man Chavo). It was a spotfest, certainly, but I felt like it told a coherent story. He's back to taking crazy bumps- the face first slide onto the floor looked very painful. And the dive from the top of the cage was great! So far so good. Hopefully Rey's big push won't mean the end of tv time for the other cruisers (big night for Kidman- watching the monitor with Steph).
Seems like a very good Smackdown! I am looking forward to the Rey Mysterio Jr. match alot. The cage match between Jericho and Edge looks to be very good. I hope SmackDown! lives up to it's expectation's
By the way, nice Avatar... Little long is isn't it? Trying to compensate for something else?
I got two blips on my Ha-dar. Shoot 'em down!
The next time I hear you say "glass ceiling" or you complain about someone being shoved down their throats, I'm gonna take that glass ceiling and shove it down your throat.
I'm gonna be honest here and say that I couldn't give one damn about lucha tradition. He's not wrestling in Mexico, he's in WWE. They don't follow lucha tradition.
As for the loose pants, I'm willing to bet, as my friend pointed out, that they're hiding some nice big knee pads/braces, so I have no problem with them. I do think he should lose those damn contacts though.
The mask IS the gimmick. The gimmick IS the mask. So, in order for Rey Rey to not be a Gangsta-G-Money Fool in The Hizoouse Bowdy-Bowdy and all that shit, HE HAS TO HAVE THE MASK. Mask equals mystique, and mystique equals Misterio...

Hear hear... (even though I'm gonna beat you in Week 1)
I thought it was the second coming of Adam Bomb when he looked at the screen. Those contacts do NOTHING~! for him, except make him look weird. Mebbe he can shoot lazers out of them.
Yeah, the mask did quite a bit, but DAMN those eyes were just weird.
And I say keep 'em. A masked wrestler? Sure, we could do that. But a masked wrestler with crazy albino eyes? That takes a bit more to get used to, and really helps distinguish his look that much more.
Originally posted by OrangeCrushI guess I'm the only one bothered by the fact that they decide to piss all over lucha tradition by putting the mask back on him..
but anyway, good match. hope they give him15~20min on a PPV.
i can live with the contacts. he Needs the mask too. the masked luchadore package is worth so much more than the gay twelve year old package. without the mask, it'd just be a matter of weeks before he was rev. d-von's alter boy.

Heh heh heh heh... love it.
I wonder when they will get around to getting D-Von out of the preacher gimmick. I don't think it is doing him any favors, but I guess it's about priority #682 right now.

LIke I predicted, Chavo dragged him all around the ring. Damn that was some actual effort by the WWE to push a Cruiser match. The match I want to see now is Rey vs. Shannon Moore. It would be the bizzomb.A Tajiri feud would rock too. Of course he has to go after Jamiesan because Rey will be CW Champ within 6 weeks. Think they will team him with Kidman and bring back the CW tag belts seeing as TJ/Jamie are a team and Shannon/Hurricane are around? Chavo and Funaki as the other CW Rudos!

Rey with the mask is like a totally diffrent person. With the mask, I think of Rey doing all kinds of crazy spots on Nitro. Without it, Rey just reminds me of Master P. and all that went wrong with Nitro in the last 3 years. I was suprised Tazz brought up Rey Sr's feud with Gory Guerro(sp?). The match with Chavo was a good debut but the finish for the Main Event really sealed Rey as being a dominant cruiserweight in WWE.
I'm not familiar with luchadores at all or their traditions so I'm in the camp where I like his mask. I also don't know what most of Rey's moves are called, haha.
Rey has my favorite entrance since Gangrel. Rising through the floor = great entrance in my book.
I think Rey's contacts are kinda cool. They're weird, but they're different which is A O K.
I also haven't marked out like I did last night in a while. Rey's match with Chavo was great and his run in at the end was awesome too. I loved how he rocketed up the side of that cage, like the spider whose web he wore on his pants.
But I miss Tony Schiavone. Dammit, Michel Cole is just so dull, and JR just seems like he doesn't care anymore, and the colour guys are so blah (Lawler, especially, really gets on my nerves).
