1999 Topps Embossed WCW #23...................$2

Oscar Gutierrez was born on December 12, 1974. He was trained by his uncle Rey Misterio Sr. and made his pro debut in 1989. He currently lives in San Diego, CA. He is married to Angie and has a daughter (Aalyah) and a son (Dominick). The battle with Eddie Guerrero for the custody of Dominick was just a fictional story line. Rey Misterio Jr. (changed to Mysterio when he entered the WWE) spent much of his early career in the AAA promotion in Mexico. He garnered some attention by North American promoters when he appeared on their When Worlds Collide PPV.

In 1995, he wrestled in ECW. His matches against Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera brought the house down. He was signed by WCW in 1996. At the final WCW Nitro, Kidman and Misterio won the recently created cruiserweight tag team championship. After WCW shut down, Rey was off national TV for over a year. Rey made his WWE debut in the summer of 2002. He was back to wearing his mask and the WWE blurs out all old footage that shows his face. His first feud was with Kurt Angle.

In early 2003, he was injured by the Big Show when he was swung, while attached to a stretcher, into a ring post. When Rey returned to action he briefly held the cruiserweight title and then reformed his tag team with Billy Kidman. Most of 2004 saw him battle for the cruiserweight title. In 2005, Eddie and Rey won the WWE tag team titles. Rey Mysterio stunned the world when he won the 2006 Royal Rumble. At WrestleMania 22, he became the World Heavyweight Championship by beating champion Kurt Angle and Randy Orton. He celebrated his victory with Vicki and Chavo Guerrero.
