He is credited with popularizing cruiserweight wrestling and is one of the most well-known lucha libre wrestlers in the world.

Mysterio, the cousin of Rey Misterio Sr., started wrestling professionally in 1989 when he was 14 years old on the independent circuit. In 1992, he signed with Asistencia Asesora y Administración (AAA). Mysterio joined World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1996 after briefly competing for Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW).

The rise of cruiserweight wrestling divisions was attributed to Mysterio’s work in WCW, where he also captured the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times and the WCW Cruiserweight Championship five times. Later, he competed for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL), and in 2002, he began competing for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE).

Mysterio not only won the WCW Cruiserweight Championship five times, but also the WCW World Tag Team Championship three times. He also played a key role in the Americanization of lucha libre, which sparked the growth of cruiserweight wrestling classes.

Mysterio achieved success in the WWE by winning the Tag Team Title eight times, the WWE Championship once, the World Heavyweight Championship twice, the Intercontinental Championship once, the United States Championship twice, and the Cruiserweight Championship three times each.
