The Master of the 619 has been seen as a genius in the ring throughout his career, almost single-handedly ushering in a new generation of high flyers and inspiring many others to lace up their wrestling boots for the first time.
Rey Mysterio has always been aware that his style of offense was risky since the ropes aren't always on his side and his numerous knee operations have proved that the wear and tear of being a high flyer for so many decades does have its downfalls.
Despite this, Mysterio has been able to revive himself time and time again to show that he is one of the greatest high flyers in the world, but sometimes luck isn't on his side. Here are some of the most memorable botches that Rey Mysterio has been part of in WWE.
#5. When he was mastering the 619
The 619 is a move that will always be synonymous with Rey Mysterio but over the years it has been a move that has failed him many times. Mysterio only has small arms, which means that when his opponent is holding down the middle rope, he finds it hard to reach both of the ropes and it then causes a problem.
One of the funniest botches that Mysterio has been part of as regards his 619 was at a WWE house show in Texas back in 2009 when he teamed with Shawn Michaels against Kane and Chris Jericho.
Kane and Jericho were kicked onto the ropes and into the usual position before Mysterio did the run up and missed the bottom rope which sent him sailing to the outside. It's a botch that has to be seen to be believed.
#4. Mysterio's backstage fail
Rey Mysterio has never really been a guy that needs promos to do the work for him since much of his action goes on in the ring, but sometimes he is forced to be part of backstage segments, where he makes a fool of himself.
Back in 2002, John Cena and Edge were arguing backstage whilst Mysterio continued to get himself ready for his match by doing reps in the background on a cupboard.
Obviously, Rey has always been a lightweight competitor so he was able to get away with this for a few minutes before the cupboard snapped under his weight and left him on the floor.
Edge and Cena obviously found this hilarious and it could be one of the reasons why the company decided to pre-record segments moving forward.
#3. Fighting The Deadman
Rey Mysterio is perhaps one of WWE's safest wrestlers and he became good friends with the likes of The Undertaker and Randy Orton pretty early in his career. Despite this, Mysterio has had a number of slip-ups in the ring where he has miscalculated just how heavy he can be when he's flying through the air, and actually caused an injury.
Back in 2010, Mysterio and Undertaker faced off on SmackDown Live and The Master of the 619 was able to land a senton in the face of The Deadman, which left him with a broken nose and a concussion.
Undertaker was able to win the match, but he was left bloodied and bruised following his battle with Mysterio which would have left him less than impressed since Mysterio is less than half his weight and size.
#2. Flips and tricks
Rey Mysterio likes to make an entrance and at one point he would come to the ring following a springboard into the arena. Interestingly, Mysterio's entrance has only gone wrong a few times and one of these times was when he ran out to attack Matt Hardy ahead of their upcoming showdown.
Mysterio was obviously supposed to deliver a headscissors off the apron lift, but when this move went wrong the first time around, the two stars decided to deliver it once again which showed that the first attempt was a botch.
This is a surprisingly straight forward move for the former World Champion to botch, but Mysterio definitely surprised his fanbase by getting this one wrong. The Master of the 619 delivers moves like this all the time in the ring and more often than not he is successful.
#1. Rey Mysterio arrives on Raw
Rey Mysterio was sent over to Monday Night Raw as part the Superstar Shake-up last night and made his debut on the flagship show by attacking Elias. It was an interesting showdown between Elias and Mysterio until the former World Champion put his faith in the ropes and looked to deliver a springboard move.
Elias didn't catch him from the move and instead, Mysterio wiggled down his waist and was then forced to flip Elias out of his grasp and out of the ring.
It was a botch that was picked up by a number of the WWE's fans since this was Rey Mysterio's first appearance following the The Royal Rumble and his ankle injury, and also his first impression in front of the Raw crowd which obviously didn't go to plan.
