Born on December 11, 1974, in Chula Vista, California, Óscar Gutiérrez—better known by his stage name Rey Mysterio—was always interested in wrestling right from a young age. He was schooled by his uncle, the great luchador Rey Misterio Sr., and began his professional life in 1989. Mysterio tasted success early in Mexico's AAA promotion before breaking through in ECW in 1995. He broke through big in 1996 when he signed with WCW and was one of the leading stars of the Cruiserweight division. His creative strategies and exciting matches made him an international icon as well as a series of WCW titles: five Cruiserweight and three World Tag Team Championships. At the shutdown of WCW in 2001, Mysterio also took a brief hiatus to spend time with his family before joining WWE in 2002. He soon gained popularity with his charm and underdog mentality.
In his professional wrestling career with WWE, he attained great heights such as winning the 2006 Royal Rumble for a record period of 62 minutes and winning the WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship twice. He won different mid-card titles such as the Intercontinental and Cruiserweight Championships along with the tag team titles with different partners. Rey Mysterio married his long-term girlfriend Angie, and they have two kids together. His son, Dominik Mysterio, has also walked in his footsteps and is a top WWE superstar, as the NXT North American Champion. His daughter, Aalyah, also featured on WWE shows as part of storylines. Rey frequently credits his wife with supporting him through his early days of hardship.
Irrespective of his wrestling achievements, Mysterio's legendary mask, creative ring gear, and trademark finishing maneuvers—the 619 and the Frog Splash—are familiar all over the world. He has been awarded various accolades in and outside WWE, such as being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2023 and the AAA Hall of Fame in 2007. He is also awarded by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and Pro Wrestling Illustrated for his exemplary performances and pioneering efforts in wrestling.
In real life, Rey Mysterio lives it up outside of the ring and has a garage filled with luxury cars such as a Rolls-Royce Phantom, Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8, McLaren 12C, Jaguar XKR, and Dodge Challenger RT.
With an estimated net worth of $13 million and a WWE contract that pays him about $1 million, Rey remains one of the highest-paid and most respected figures in the world of professional wrestling. His legacy as "The Ultimate Underdog" and "The Master of the 619" is unrivaled in the hearts of fans across the globe.
