10 unmasked photos of Rey Mysterio fans must see

Rey Mysterio's run in the WWE made him one of the most iconic wrestlers in the history of the promotion despite his diminutive size. It was incredible athletic ability and status of "The Ultimate Underdog" that made him into a crowd favourite, no matter where he went. Oh, and who can forget his epic luchador masks?

Throughout his time with Vince McMahon's house of big muscly men, Mysterio was instantly recognisable due to his masks. He was one of the few men sporting traditional Mexican Lucha Libre masks and he added his own spin on things by giving them a pop culture theme.

Who can forget his Joker themed get up from back in the day to honour Heath Ledger's performance in The Dark Knight?

It, of course, became rare that he was ever spotted without his mask on during his time with the company. But, with the rise of social media and his own exit from the WWE to take a tour of the indie circuit, a lot more pictures of Mysterio have surfaced.

So, without any further ado, here is our list of ten unmasked photos of Rey Mysterio fans must see:

#10 Rey Mysterio shows off his new muscles

Damn, Rey!

Rey Mysterio has never been the most physically imposing guy due to his small size. But, when this picture of him looking ripped came out, it instantly caused a huge impact in the professional wrestling world.

While his face is partially covered here, Rey has decided to forgo his traditional in-ring mask for this picture in the gym.

#9 Rey is unmasked on WCW programming

WCW really messed up with Rey Mysterio

Before coming to the WWE in the 2000s, Rey Mysterio made a name for himself in the WCW's Cruiserweight Division in the 1990s.

Unfortunately, the now defunct wrestling promotion had no idea how to book the talented high flyer and decided to unmask in front of the whole world.

The picture above shows Mysterio showing his face to wrestling audiences who tuned into WCW during that time period.

#8 Rey Mysterio, Konan, and Billy Kidman

Look at that hair!

During that same ill-fated WCW run, Rey Mysterio was aligned with real-life friends Konan and Billy Kidman and the three took this picture together backstage for some promo material. And, it is hilarious to see Rey's get up.

The devil's horns hair, the pants, everything about it is very 1990's cringe in the best way possible.

#7 Rey rocks a suit

Nice suit there, Mr Mysterio

Let it never be said that Rey Mysterio doesn't know how to dress up for the occasion. During a WWE tour in Japan, he decided to go the extra mile and dress up in a dapper suit in order to look good and make a great impression.

You can see from the pic that this was taken years ago, back when Mysterio still had that youthful look about him.

#6 Rey Rey takes a break

Time for some fun in the sun

Let it never be said that Rey Mysterio doesn't know how to take a break for some rest and relaxation. He put his mask away to take a trip away with his family and enjoy a well-earned break on the beach.

With a dazzling smile like that, it's a wonder he ever wears a mask.

#5 It's a party in the USA

The WWE stars love to party

This one's made the rounds quite a few times and sees Rey Mysterio cutting loose with The Hardy Boyz -- Matt and Jeff Hardy -- as well as The Bella Twins -- Nikki and Brie Bella, and some other friends.

It's clear from the picture that a copious amount of alcohol is involved in the lead up to this epic picture. Party on, Rey!

#4 It's a party in Japan

Fun times with Rey Mysterio

What is it with Rey Mysterio and unmasking in Japan? This time around, during a tour with the WWE, he decided to skip the mask on a night out with his buddies Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston, and Santino Marella just to name a few.

It looks like the group is coming off a great meal at a Japanese restaurant. And, I'm sure there was Sake involved as well.

#3 Vacation time with the Mrs

Rey and his lovely wife

Let it never be said that Rey Mysterio doesn't love his wife. He posted this picture of the two of them on vacation with the hashtag #Lovethiswoman to show the entire world just how much he loves and cares about his wife.

It's a lovely picture of the couple taking some time off to enjoy a romantic vacation together.

#2 Rey and Aalyah

Rey and his daughter

Rey Mysterio's love for family is well-known at this point, so there is a great picture of him and his daughter taking a selfie. She is 15 years of age in this picture and looks like she loves her father more than the entire professional wrestling world combined.

#1 Dominic's all grown up

Bloody hell, Dominic's grown tall!

Most WWE fans remember Dominic as the short little son of Rey Mysterio who was part of a ridiculous storyline with Eddie Guerrero. Now, he's all grown up.

Here, you can see an unmasked Rey alongside his much taller son during an LA Dodgers Baseball game. What the hell has that boy been eating?!
