Former pizza delivery guy and friend to WCW star Konnan since the age of 12, Oscar Rubio began his wrestling career at the tender age of 15 -- facing a wrestler named Shamu in an independent California-based Lucha Libre promotion. Not long afterwards, Rey travelled to Mexico where he began to hone his high-flying skills against legends like Fantasma, Vulcano, Juventud Guerrera. In the span of only a few years, Mysterio had managed to capture several championship titles and began a memorable feud with fellow masked-superstar Psicosis. This feud continued when Rey moved up to the WCW in 1996. Where Mysterio also engaged in several unbelievable match-ups with Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. Though he dropped and regained the cruiserweight title several times and lost his mask to the Outsiders, his amazing popularity continued to grow.
After the WWE purchased WCW in 2001, Rey traveled around the world to Japan and Mexico before coming to terms with his new employer to join the WWE permanently. A staple of Smackdown programming and frequent tag partner to former "Filthy Animal" stable-mate Billy Kidman, Mysterio has been challenging for the Tag Team titles as of late, while defending his Cruiserweight belt in the interim. His matches with Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero, and even The Big Show have been consistent nominees for match of the show and his popularity as a fan favorite appears to be getting even bigger. At only 29 years of age, Rey has a long career ahead of him.
