Early Life

Rey Mysterio, born scar Gutiérrez on December 11, 1974, in Chula Vista, California, was raised in the greater San Diego area. He is 42 years old. There is little known about his upbringing, but he is widely thought to have been coached by his uncle, the legendary professional wrestler and trainer Rey Misterio Sr.

El Lucha’ Dor’s reputation as a spectacular aerialist in the WWE Division can be directly attributed to the training he received from this man. In his early days as a professional wrestler, he was known as Rey Mysterio Jr. In 1991, when Mysterio was still using the ring name Colibr, he was presented the “Most Improved Wrestler” trophy in Mexico.

When these two fighters met again, Mysterio won his first Cruiserweight Championship with a victory against Malenko. He maintained his title for three months, beating out Malenko, Ultimate Dragon, and Super Calo along the way. Malenko was able to win back his championship at this year’s Halloween Havoc.
