"The Biggest Little Man" is the title of Rey Mysterio's newest DVD produced by WWE. Lately he's been making a big scene with little results.
He got injured at the hands of Chavo Guerrero and was out for almost a year. He returned and put Guerrero out of action for a little while. He worked his way up in the standing, earning himself a World Heavyweight Championship match against Edge at The Royal Rumble. He got injured overseas days before his match at the Rumble, and was out for a few more months.
Fast forward to the Annual WWE Draft where Rey Mysterio was drafted to RAW. He started a feud with Santino Marella. He was on RAW for three weeks in a row—the night of the draft, the following week when we was interrupted by Marella, and the next week when he defeated Marella.
And then, the disappearing act...he disappeared. Then, suddenly, Kane pulled Rey Mysterio's mask out of that burlap. Before he did so, he said, "The man who wore it has been scarred and tortured and damaged beyond all human recognition." This brings up the question I have been asking myself for a few weeks now, "Where is Rey Mysterio?"
The last two years have been a constant roller coaster for Mysterio (real name Oscar Gutierez). The only thing he's really done since winning the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22 was win the WWE Tag Team Championship from MNM with Batista—which led up to their encounter with then-World Tag Team Champions Kane & Big Show (only to lose the titles back to MNM in a Steel Cage Match where Mark Henry interfered).
Mysterio is a multiple time tag team champion, a former World Heavyweight Champion, and a record nine-time Cruiserweight Champion (between WCW and WWE).
I was glad to see that the WWE didn't put him back in the Cruiserweight Division after falling out of the World Title picture. I thought maybe that had something good/big in store for him. Maybe another tag team run, perhaps even a successful run as United States Champion.
But that never happened—nothing happened.
They gave him a push, he got injured. They gave him a bigger push...he got injured again. Now it seems like they were going to push him again (I don't know exactly for what, but they put him on the cover of WWE Magazine, he was the first draft pick...seemed lke they were going somewhere with him)—and now it seems he got inured...yet again.
But there is nothing posted on wwe.com about Mysterio's "mysterious" absence as of late. His bio still says that he is recovering from a bicep injury at the hands of The Big Show.
First off, that injury wasn't caused by The Big Show, only worsened by him. Second of all, he IS listed on the RAW Roster on wwe.com, so it's obvious (if people hadn't been watching the last two months) that Mysterio was drafted to RAW, but it doesn't even say that on his bio...what the heck is going on here guys?

In case you missed it, he had a short 2 week stint with Santino Marella immediately after the draft, ending in one really quick match where Mysterio whooped Marella. He's still out due to the same biceps injury that has held him out of action since the Royal Rumble (He's a brave guy though for wrestling a championship match at the royal rumble with an injured bicep - the injury was so severe the bicep muscle snapped off the bone - thus the length of his absence. I'm glad to hear about the new angle going on with Kane though, giving him a great angle for when he should be cleared by medical, which people have been expecting to come soon.

you have to remember that due to his injurys he has been doing a tour of europe
aka - spain, england etc.......
as rey is way to stubborn to take vince's advise and use the standard wwe doctor that done HHH, shawn micheals back and knees, he dicided to use his own doctor from the 619 sandiago,
there for the surgary was a flop and put him out for a further 1-2 months, and like u said he did have a short stint wiv santino, but even then if u watch we didnt put hardly and weight on his arm, even when doing the 619 he looked uncomfertable !!!!
he should be back up and running like normal by the end of september at the latest, the problem that now hangs over reys head, as some of you will know vince in ruthless when it comes to his empoyees and wage, i hate to say it as i LOVE rey, even met him in london, but if he doesnt stay un injured he is going to get one hefty pay drop and lack of matches, the good thing about rey is he sells mercindice like hot cakes and makes wwe loads of money........bottom line is "THIS STORY WITH KANE WORKS OR REY IS ON HIS WAY DOWN AND OUT" lets all just hope that rey knows his sittuation

Big Fatty V was released by WWE and Rand Orton is on the DL right now after breaking his collar bone in his Last Man Standing Match with Triple H, then rebeaking it a few days ago after being involved in a motorcycle accident.

They probably made that whole thing about him getting into an accident so they forget that he was injured, he'll be back by the end of august or early september.

they made something up so they could forget hat he was injured? That makes no sense at all; in order to make something up about somebody you have to be thinking about them so if they were going to make something up about Randy Orton...they would have remembered that he was injured.

Rey has been unmasked before! I'm sorry, but why does everyone take this as a big shock that he "MIGHT LOSE HIS MASK!" Vince forced him to put it back on, breaking the lucha libre code, and now is playing up a "you might lose your mask" match like it's something original? I'm hoping it's a precursor to him jumping ship to TNA where he might actually be APPRECIATED.
