Psicosis/Mysterio ecw matches were insanely good

[Dakatari]

Rey and Juvi put on some spectacular matches in WCW

[thelonewolf]

So much respect for this guy. Done a lot for all the companies he has worked for and getting back into shape. Mad respect for him

[Lazy_snorlax]

Sad that juvi was only there for 6 months, and psychosis was gone by mid summer, super crazy was the only one that lasted the longest with the company

[Squeakypickles]

No mention of supercrazy?
He was 1000%

[LukeMSmith-ough]

You could tell that Psicosis definitely lost a few steps in terms of ring performance by the time he got to WWE. Juvi still had it though, and could've had a fairly decent run in WWE if he wasn't such a pain in the ass to work with backstage.

[bloodCount]

Nothing beats the rivalry and matches in the WCW Cruiserweight division

[walterclark]

Rey Mysterio jr in ecw was really good and that was the first time i saw him wrestle.

[mycreationz]

Rey the company boy he know why they didn’t get pushed don’t play stupid

[davisjohnson]

Juvis career is a huge “what if”. He had it, he just got way too big for his britches way too fast

[ElFamosoArt]

Saw psicosis last night in a small venue and he could barely run, kinda sucked how times flies

[TheChibiGingi]

Might get some heat for saying this, but here are the factors in why Rey Jr. succeeded in the WWE but Juvi and Psicosis didn't.

1) Oscar Gutierrez is an approachable person who makes a point to respect everyone in the locker room and in the ring, and openly didn't get involved in backstage politics. Backstage, Juvi was a bit of a prick and pricks tend to rub people the wrong way. Not sure about Psicosis' backstage antics but he seemed pretty passive, which can really hurt you if you don't have the kind of support that Rey had established.
2) Having gained the respect from the likes of Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Scott Steiner (yes, you read that correctly), all who went to the WWE, they were consistent in suggesting to the McMahons to get Rey over, even before they bought WCW. Having so many people requesting/suggesting one person to come over says a LOT, even though Vince thought little of his size.
3) Once there, there were several WWE wrestlers who were already lining up to wrestle with him, Kurt Angle being one of the first in line. The Rock even admitted to watching WCW, just for Rey Mysterio jr and the cruiserweight division. Not sure if Juvi and Psicosis got that kind of reception, but they really should've.
4) By the time they signed up Juvi and Psicosis, Rey was moving on towards the heavyweight scene and thus, the opportunity to utilize them into the CW division had sailed without them.

I love Rey. He's my absolute favorite, and will always be. But the problem lied in the fact that, from the moment he arrived in the WWE, he was already wrestling outside of the Cruiserweight division and put into tag team events. I don't even think he did his official CW run until, what, after his first time coming back from an injury? You bring a guy in who, along with Juvi, Psicosis, Malenko, Guerrero, revolutionized an entire division... and then don't UTILIZE him in that division, then I'm going to consider that a failure on the WWE's part, not so much on Rey, Juvi, and Psicosis. THe WWE had a rockin' division, but they never truly utilized it, even when Rey was on the scene, and sadly, Juvi and Psicosis really suffered for it.

[omarperez]

0:41 I'd say yeah maybe because they both lost their Masks, But yeah and I'd say it's both, about Juventud guerrera because Juvi was both He lost his mask, but yeah he still got it He just had a bad attitude, and Psicosis I'd say because I heard that Psicosis had a knee injury probably, but Psicosis he still got it

[jeyrascall]

I didnt even realise how racist the gimmick was till I got older. I'm in Toronto so i wasnt putting that together I was just happy these guys were in the WWE.

[jacobsmith]

Wwf screwed them over as well as super crazy

[BossChronicles]

They misused them wwe is stereotypical and racist They had them come out in fucking lawnmowers ridiculous

[TuleeMaster]

Wonder if he wears the mask in his off time.

[ioio]

Juvie was using too much drugs and was a punk and Psicosis just didnt had the mic skills. Mysterio is a very rare talent that was able to do both Mexican and US style wrestling. Notice how much talent WWE had brought from Mexico and have been unable to replicate Mysterio or Eddie.

[kschumac]

For some reason Cruiserweight matches just weren’t as good in the WWE. I think the smaller WCW ring lends itself better to cruiserweight style.

[juicestyle]

WWE wasted both of them. Juventud guerrera was great when it came to promo's. He could have become a world champion in wwe.
