For years in WWE he was a bit of an immobile bloated mess (but became a better babyface around this time), yet he seems to have turned back the clock 15 years. I haven't seen him look this good since his early WWE days. He looks cooler than ever too. I read somewhere that he was getting stem cell injections in his knees to help with mobility and stuff, no idea how true that is. Would be more believable than time travel, considering the Rey Mysterio we have now is from 1996........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 You would never ever believe that this Rey Mysterio is the same guy from a few years ago, bloated as fuck and shuffling around with two knee braces. That top-rope sitdown Powerbomb was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dart Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I wonder if WWE realise how ridiculous their commentators sound when they say things like "Asuka going after her opponent at the Royal Rumble event" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they’d at least acknowledge the change rather than just do it. A simple ‘he wants to be known as Andrade from now on’ from a commentator would be enough. Anyway, another superb Smackdown for me, and I’ll echo what others are saying about Rey, he’s incredible. Has he ever faced Daniel Bryan before? I’m sure we’ll get that match in some form soon, but as each week goes by I’m feeling more and more like I want to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I hadn't even considered Mysterio vs. Bryan before. Man. With Rey's current form, they could have an absolute classic. That's my new Wrestlemania dream match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Shame thet didn't build that 2/3 falls match for the Rumble. With very little bar the two guys being awesome, they built a match that had more anticipation than almost anything else on the card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd have Rey and Andrade out as Number 1 and Number 2 on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Factotum Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Bryan / Rey could be an all time classic. Someone mentioning that now will only lead to months of disappointment when it doesn't happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Can't remember the last time I bothered with Smackers, but it's very clear the difference that extra hour makes. What stands out most is they don't get lazy and feel the need to stretch a 10-minute segment to 25 minutes, ditto with matches. Contrast that Vince/Bryan/AJ segment to the opener on Raw, it's startling the quality difference. Typing of, New Daniel Bryan is excellent and that Babyboomer promo was pure. Unlike Monday, where he looked and sounded disinterested, Vince seemed right into it too with all the facial selling he was doing - that or he was genuinely baffled by what Bryan was on about. Either way that was some top work from Vince. To repeat others, it's remarkable the difference in Rey. Like he somehow has managed to reversed time after looking knackered for so long. Woke Daniel Bryan is the star of the show and is such a brilliant, nuanced character and very 2019. Like all great heels, his Babyboomer speech was filled with on-point criticisms, but nonetheless "BOOOOO!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WeeAl Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 Astonished that Rey Mysterio is 44 years old, and yet he's better than he has been in 10 years. Playing a blinder he is. I'd love Mysterio to get the shot at Bryan at 'Mania. It's possible too, as I don't know who else it'll be if it's somebody from Smackdown. If Bryan is champ, you have Orton, Mysterio, and Styles as your options. The Styles feud will be over by then. Out of Bryan Vs Orton and Bryan Vs Mysterio, the latter feels much fresher and more interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCW Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I suppose the rest gave Rey's body a chance to recover from the years of working a full WWE schedule, amazing the difference it has made. Fair play to him for returning motivated too, he could have easily gotten away with half arsing things and still be great compared to most of the roster. Echo the love for Bryan , really helps the character that you know he believes all the stuff he's saying, to some extent. He's the most relevant, modern sounding character in WWE by a mile too, which is amazing compared to supposedly 'cooler' dullards like Balor, Rollins, Ambrose etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted January 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2019 When I've been knocking up my Mania card I forget Rey will definitely merit a decent match. My Balor v Styles cross brand perverts dream match is a bit of a shot in the dark but it wouldn't shock me if they give Styles to Rey. Or if Bryan v Joe isnt the direction, keeping Joe 100% clearcut heel and having him antagonize Rey on the way to a Mania match sounds pretty good to me.

Snitsky's back acne Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I liked the Mustafa Ali promo. It seemed a bit different than most of WWE's promos. His 'I WILL beat you' story could be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
