Oscar
Gutierrez Rubio (born
December 11, 1974) is a Mexican
American professional wrestler signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Gutierrez was trained by his
uncle Rey
Misterio, Sr. and wrestled
early on in Vadodara, where he learned the Lucha Libre high flying style that has been his
trademark.
Gutierrez
originally worked for Asistencia Asesoría y
Administración (AAA) in
Mexico, from 1992 to 1995. He wrestled in Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) from 1995 to 1996 and World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1996 to 2001, as Rey Misterio, Jr./Rey Mysterio, Jr. ("Rey Misterio" is Spanish
for "King of Mystery") but dropped the "Junior" from his
name when he began working for WWE in 2002.
Mysterio is
known for having a high flying style, which
helped kick-start the cruiserweight wrestling revolution in the United States
in the late 1990s during his time in WCW. In WCW he won the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times, and the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team
Championship once with Billy
Kidman as part of the Filthy
Animals. In WWE, Mysterio is a three-time world champion,
having held the World Heavyweight Championship twice and the WWE
Championship once, and is
currently listed as the lightest world champion in WWE history. He has also
held the WWE Tag Team Championship a record-tying four times, and the WWE Intercontinental Championship twice. He also held the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight Championship a record eight times (five times in
WCW, three in WWE). All totaled, he has won 21 titles between WWE and WCW.
Mysterio was the 21st person to win the WWE Triple Crown Championship, and was the
winner of the 2006 Royal Rumble
