10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Kalisto

What do we need to know about WWE's new Rey Mysterio?

From the American midwest to Mexico and now taking over the world, Kalisto - the non-Sin Cara half of the just-debuted Lucha Dragons tag combination - has had quite the intriguing trek to World Wrestling Entertainment. However, the "new" superstar does wear a mask and did wrestle under other aliases prior to WWE, so much may not be known about him. From having wrestled in a plethora of well-respected independent promotions against a who's who of indy and current WWE developmental stars, he also actually has pay-per-view wrestling experience as well as an arc of development that mirrors other established lucha names, too.As well, there will be match clips a plenty here, as those who have been impressed by what they have already seen on WWE television have been watching this performer only scratch the surface of his abilities. If surprised that Kalisto is on TV right now and not Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Hideo Itami or Finn Balor, this list should provide ten solid reasons as to why Kalisto deserves his opportunity. A nine-year veteran who's certainly had his fair share of impressive matches and incredible experiences so far in his career, he's certainly deserving of the opportunity to showcase his skills on the next level.
