So I was searching online for clothing, specifically more edgy brands (a la Ed Hardy, etc.), and when I was looking for a brand called "The Rock" (which I SWEAR I saw while I was in California in March) and having zero success, I stumbled onto the WWE shop. This came as no big surprise, given the prominence of The Rock in the history of "professional wrestling" history, but I also came across a shirt of Rey Mysterio in the process. I remember sometime a few years ago having an argument with one of my friends from middle school about who the best WWE/WWF wrestler was back in our days of fanship, but I couldn't remember the name of the guy who always did crazy acrobatics in his fights. Rey Mysterio sounded familiar to me when I saw the shirt, and when I YouTube'd his name I realized that he was the wrestler I had so vehemently argued in favor of to my friend those years ago. I've been playing sports all my life, but I've never been the biggest, strongest, or had the most raw skill at the sports I played. However, I did find myself as one of the best players on whatever team I was playing for, in any sport, because of my speed, agility, and competitive intelligence viz. anticipating opponents' or teammates' moves or decisions. This is why I loved to watch and root for Rey Mysterio, because he reminded me of myself. Against the stronger wrestlers, in a "sport" that was dominated by the bigger, stronger men, he got by and defeated strength with agility and fantastic acrobatic displays, jumping off the ropes, spinning himself around in the air, countering moves with his pure athleticism. What I remember him doing for wrestling, for me, was making it less "fake competition" and more "athletic display," which salvaged the scripted, false showmanship of the "sport" for longer than it would have lasted in my mind without him.
