10 Fakest Moves In Wrestling

6. The 619

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1PhdZ7H2iY Rey Mysterio's one of the most exciting performers in wrestling history and a guy that helped to popularize cruiserweight wrestling in America. He's also the guy that a lot of people point to as being the most fake because of how small he is. People complain about him by saying that he couldn't beat a guy like Big Show or Mark Henry in a fight. That's true. The thing is, it's pro wrestling. Anybody can beat anybody if the story calls for it. The one move that Mysterio does that really upsets his haters (believe me I am not a hater) is the 619. The move is usually set up by Mysterio applying a flying headscissors to his opponent and then that guy ends up with his upper body hanging over the middle rope. Mysterio ends up running to the other side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes and swing both of his legs into the face of his opponent so that he kicks them off the rope. The name 619 is the area code of Mysterio's home town of San Diego. When Mysterio was in WCW he didn't do the move often. He did the spin around the ropes spot in that motion as a way to show off his speed and taunt an opponent. When he got to WWE he added it to his arsenal. At least it's something he can do to any opponent regardless of their size. Rey's a great worker that is one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever, but the 619 is a move that a lot of people don't like just because of how cheesy it looks.
