Rey Mysterio
American professional wrestler Rey Mysterio was born Oscar Gutierrez Rubio on Dec. 11, 1974, in San Diego, California. Rey made his debut as a wrestler at age 14 in a small church in Tijuana, Mexico, where he used the name Colobri (Spanish for hummingbird). Then in 1995, Rey had his ECW debut match, where he defeated Psicosis, and in 1996 he was signed by WCW. He had many great matches against both luchadores and cruiserweights alike, but his most famous match came against real-life friend Eddie Guerrero at "Halloween Havoc 1997." In 2002, Rey signed with the WWE, where Vince McMahon requested that Rey wear his mask even though in Mexico, once a wrestler loses his mask he cannot regain it or he could be fined or have his license suspended. Rey still lives in San Diego with his wife Angie and their two children, Dominik and Aalyah. He has both of their names tattooed underneath his left and right bicep as well as the Spanish word for Mexico on his stomach.
