I love that. Rey Mysterio has two lifetimes worth of knowledge with the business. One from his, and the other from his Uncle's. And here he is perfectly implementing it.

Hands down - best impersonation of Rey I've seen I only wish I had been more proactive to see these guys, in person

Considering Cody's falling out with Vince & WWE, he doesn't put Vince down or put him in a bad light or the majority of his time there when he could've been so much more. I respect cody more than ever right now. With all the heat & a lot of go away heat he has, he hasn't let up on his character & love for the fans. He respects how they feel whether you like him or not.

The "Undashing" Cody Rhodes was awsome man.

I remember their match. I was there in attendance that night at the Georgia Dome (replaced with the Mercedes Benz Stadium). It honestly was a decent match. The build-up was actually well done. Good on Rey to give Cody a push.

Just a reminder of the reverence and respect Rey Mysterio has, he even kicks open the door to Vince McMahon’s office. True icon🔥

I love how he mentioned that when he was working with the mask because of the “deformed” face. And he said it was like Phantom of the Opera meets American Psycho. And it was. Cody went from this flamboyant, arrogant and narcissistic character to a very twisted, demented and vile person. And all of it was based off of his looks being messed up. And it was a good angle for him. I thought it was that next step closer to him getting over. But it was absolutely right, it consumed him and it was a work of art. Especially when he gave those people them bags to put on that was crazy but it had to be that in order for it to work.
