Cool Video
Fun video. Shows Rey in his home with his family and in Mexico where he started fighting. Has some fights too.

Came too soon. Rey Mysterio's WWE career wasn't even a year old, and his ECW career isn't even mentioned!
Rey Mysterio is an amazing athlete to behold. His ECW days are the stuff of legend, his feud with Psicosis so epic it spanned past ECW, starting even before then and producing some of the most memorable feats of athleticism in professional wrestling ever.

You get a sampling of this magic he makes in the ring with the bonus matches featured in extra in this DVD.


The documentary, meanwhile, barely covers much of importance. It seems to want to stick close to kayfabe, with Mysterio acting all pissed off at Albert for breaking his leg with a steel chair. We see Mysterio in the operating room, giving us a WWE version of "Cribs" by showing us his house and his son, getting a tattoo, and going down to Mexico to meet up with old friends and talk about his early days in Mexican wrestling and the AAA.

The documentary doesn't even mention ECW, so it just goes from Rey's childhood, with interviews from his parents in spanish, then tells of his AAA tenure, then suddenly jerking ahead to WCW and covering pretty much just his feud with Dean Malenko and his first match with the late Eddie Guerrero. Then it jerks ahead to 2001 where WCW closes down, and Rey is left to wrestle in independent promotions until 2002 when he comes into WWE.

The WWE part of the documentary only covers his feud with Kurt Angle, his tag team with Edge, and a few others, including the incident with Albert breaking his leg.


We never see his face either, as it must be some undeclared Lucadore code or tradition to never reveal your face to your fans or something, so the camera is either below his shoulders, avoiding his face, or when his face can't be avoided, is blurred out.


All in all, this DVD feels very incomplete, and while Mysterio wasn't in ECW as long as in WCW, it's probably the most important step in his career leading up to WWE. I hope the new one coming out this year has a more complete story.

Awesome matches, really poor documentary
I love the old wcw cruiserweight matches featured on this disk. That is worth the price of the disk. However the documentary really sucks to put it bluntly. This is not a shot a Rey Mysterio. I thought WWE really did a poor job producing it. It seemed like they just threw it together at the last minute. The Documentary was boring and stupid. However again it is the production not Rey. I would again recommend it for the matches
