El Rey

Rey Mysterio in a lucha libre “Mask vs. Hair” match in 2010.
Mysterio, aka Óscar Rubio, was one of the greatest luchadores of all time.

During 2010’s Smackdown, The Undertaker was pushing 50 years old. He had been wrestling since the ’80s and was getting on in years. It’s unclear whether he was still in the ring for the cash or because he still loved the work. His opponent at the time was Rey Mysterio. They were qualifying for the Fatal 4-Way. At one point, Mysterio hit the Undertaker directly in the face, fracturing his orbital bone. The good news is that the Undertaker won the match. The bad news is his injury prevented him from competing in the 4-Way. Who took his place? Mysterio, of course.
