So, yeah. For as many people say that Ricky Steamboat, Hulk Hogan or Ricky Morton were great underdog babyfaces because of their ability to sell being beaten upon (say, when he wrestled the Great Khali), in Rey Mysterio looking like a child being beaten by a grown man upped the ante.One of Rey's best WWE feuds was against Dave Batista. A lot of it worked because they were established as being friends on TV, but it also worked because a 6'4" 300 pound man was brutally assaulting a 5'2" 170 pound guy, and even while wearing a mask, the smaller man could convey the pain of the assault.
