Credit Cubsfan, who took it from Observer:
"Mistico has made inquiries about coming in. When Mistico was super hot in Mexico, they were in talks with him and he did a tryout match behind the scenes one day in San Jose and everyone was impressed with his chain wrestling. But he was making so much money in Mexico that it made no sense to leave. Because of how people like Psicosis and Super Crazy were treated, there has been a stigma among the wrestlers in Mexico that if you go to WWE, you’ll just be topped out unless you’re Mysterio so people who were stars in Mexico didn’t want to risk it. Even in recent years, when WWE has made inquiries with El Hijo del Santo, he was leery because when he was here in the 90s WWE wanted him to take off his mask, and that’s his very being and would see it as disrespecting his late father. But now that Del Rio is being groomed for a headline position, it’s made people think less negatively about their chances. But how many top stars in Mexico have Del Rio’s size, and he really is a special case."
I really hope he doesn't go. Mistico has become really shitty in ring over the last year or so. Once he lost Perro Aguayo Jr, he seemed to stop caring. I'd rather see Sombra in WWE.

Hmmm....Not sure how I feel on this yet. Older Mistico would be a very different change of pace, but you know WWE would never let him wrestle that style here.
Just not sure how to feel about this yet.

Just not sure how to feel about this yet. Well, at this point he's just Rey Mysterio with the Davey Richards "oh you killed me with that move? Allow me to get up as if nothing happened and hit YOU with a move" syndrome. If they let Evan Bourne do his stuff, there's no doubt in my mind that Mistico would be allowed to do all of his crazy dives. IMO the best thing for Mistico is to try to get to New Japan full time. It's likely more money than he's making in CMLL now, and it's a far smaller workload and he'd get a chance to learn from legends in the world of junior heavyweight wrestling.

Actually, that's what has soured me on wrestling over the past few years - moves mean nothing. Hell, just like Cena getting piledriven on the floor and he makes a superman comeback. I hear turds claim "yesterdays wrestling" is boring, but while the athletes are better today, the guys from "yesterday" were "trying to make it real". I just don't see it anymore.
