#20 Rey Mysterio

There are certain things without which the professional wrestling puzzle wouldn’t fit in completely and one of those integral pieces is masked wrestlers. The history that masked superstars have with wrestling goes all the way back to either 1915 or 1873. And ever since, a plethora of names have grazed the squared circle with a mask or paint on to keep their identity hidden for the time being. The rapid growth of Internet might’ve exposed most of the superstars but there are still wrestlers who haven’t revealed their identity to the world. Wrestling under the mask is even considered sacred by most of the luchadors in Mexico. There is always a sense of curiosity to know the face behind the mask whenever a masked superstar performs, so here is an attempt to quench that thirst.Arguably the most successful masked superstar in WWE, Rey went on to achieve things that superstars of his structure wouldn’t have even dreamt of. Rey started his career in Mexico before Paul Heyman found the gem and bought him to ECW.Rey soon found a route to WCW, where he had to wrestle without the masks at times. He then established himself as the ultimate underdog in WWE and is now having some rough tides coming his way due to injury.
