1. He Wishes He'd Improvised At The 2014 Royal Rumble

Undoubtedly one of Rey Mysterio's lowest moments came at the tail-end of the 2014 Royal Rumble match. Ludicrously booed by fans for failing to be Daniel Bryan, Rey's entrance as #30 must be one of the most negative reactions he's ever received from a live crowd.

Mysterio was fully aware that people loved Bryan, but he didn't quite realise until he was through the curtain just how red-hot the babyface underdog was.

Telling Ross about what he'd change from that night, the masked man wishes he could relive that pay-per-view all over again. If he could, Rey claims he would emerge from behind the curtain, hear the fans and then return backstage only to return with Daniel Bryan.

He would've been in some serious hot water with Vince McMahon and others upon pulling that kind of stunt though, because WWE were trying to ignore ferocious fan support for the unlikely bearded star at the time.

For Rey, the heat would have been worth it just to hear the fans go crazy.
