Is 205 Live about to become 3.01951 times better? (We'll leave the maths to you).

In all honesty, probably not - but what a great appointment this'd be. Rey Mysterio eventually rubbed shoulders with those considerably higher than his own, but his legacy in the wrestling business is as its definitive cruiserweight star. Being named as the chief of a brand devoted to the art would inject it with a huge degree of legitimacy - not to mention interest. Rey's popular appeal remains colossal to this day, and three years after he was last seen in WWE, fans have renewed appetite to see the masked superstar back in the big-time.

Is it likely? In the past, Rey has specifically failed to rule out a move to 205 Live ("you never say never"), but as long as Lucha Underground remains an ongoing concern, he's probably not making the switch - unless the offer was too good to refuse.

Probability: 5/10

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
