You can see the comparison in the photo below:For those who don't know, Rey Mysterio had one of his most iconic matches ever against the late great Eddie Guerrero at Halloween Havoc 1997. This was in both of their pre-WWE days, and back then, Mysterio and Guerrero were both considered the pinnacle of what it meant to be a cruiserweight. In fact, that era of WCW is considered the zenith of cruiserweight wrestling, and it was something WWE attempted to bring back in 2016 onwards with the Cruiserweight Classic and then 205 Live.This was one of the matches that brought Mysterio to the world's attention, although he also had other significant moments in WCW. In fact, many younger fans don't know that he was unmasked in his story with Kevin Nash, but naturally, things took a turn when he joined WWE.He would then go on to become the single most famous luchador in the history of professional wrestling, although his impact as a luchador in Mexico itself probably pales in comparison to the likes of the great El Santo.As for El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., he is a third-generation star, with his grandfather, Dr. Wagner, being the patriarch of his family.
