Who's That Jumpin' Out The Sky?, 1 Oct 2003
Although Rey Mysterio hasn't been in WWE for too long, there was still plenty of resources available to tell his story in full (thanks to the use of old WCW footage). This profile takes us back to those WCW days and Rey's humble beginnings in the wrestling business, and of course, takes us up to his debut year in WWE.Throughout highlights of his career, Rey offers his own thoughts on a variety of subjects, such as the importance of his family and what the luchador mask means to him. We also get a tour of Rey's house in California and learn where the moves "619" and "West Coast Pop" came from. However, two rather large problems with this DVD is the fact that Rey's knee injury (which is focused on at the beginning) is treated like it really occurred at the hands of A-Train (then Albert). Rey is shown in a hospital discussing his recovery and can then be heard vowing revenge on the bald bozo, when in reality, the injury occurred due to years of wear and tear in the ring. Another irritating fault is the fact that Rey's face is constantly distorted whenever he has his mask removed, even though anyone who watched WCW from 1999-2001 (and anyone who reads independent wrestling mags) would have seen his face without the mask on countless occassions (incidentally, footage from WCW where he was unmasked has not been included on this tape/DVD). Fortunately, the extras pack a real punch. There's some stunning Cruiserweight matches from WCW included, as well as his more recent WWE clashes, a Confidential piece and even some hidden extras (Just press Left on your control whenever you select any of his WCW matches to get different WWE debut promo videos). Rey's first WWE DVD/VHS could have been allot better, but there's still enough entertainment here for it to be worthy of its price tag. Mysterio's old WCW fans and his new WWE fans will be impressed.
