00:00 When Rey Mysterio joined WWE shortly after the demise of WCW, many doubted his chances
00:07 as a cruiserweight wrestler in WWE under Vince McMahon's big guy eyes.
00:13 At least that's the perception.
00:15 But clearly in those past 20 years, Rey Mysterio has defied those expectations, becoming one
00:20 of the greatest mass superstars to ever perform on WWE's international television platform.
00:26 Contrary to the WCW marketing phrase "where the big boys play," WCW was really dominated
00:32 by a lot of cruiserweights at Rey Mysterio's size.
00:35 Jumping over to WWE, where WWE tends to really focus on wrestlers over 6 feet tall and over
00:41 225 pounds, Rey Mysterio is somebody that doesn't fit that archetype.
00:45 But clearly, as someone who has achieved world title success, main evented big matches and
00:50 pay-per-views, developed entire storylines around himself and his family for years, he
00:54 has become an all-time great.
00:57 So when he got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, there was no one challenging him.
