Poor Rey never had a chance, as for the first time in his career - inadvertently - he became the most loathed man in the building.

Perhaps WWE thought sticking the supremely popular little lucha libre in the 30th spot would quell the dissatisfaction of a crowd baying for Batista's blood, still in faint hope that their own selected hero Daniel Bryan would emerge to prove Big Dave's pre-ordained sign pointing had been a bluff all along.

Nope. The clock ticked down for a final time, and out emerged a sheepish Rey Mysterio to an inordinate, unearned shower of boos. It wasn't Rey's fault. He could have been Santa Claus or Stone Cold Steve Austin; he would have been jeered either way. He simply wasn't Daniel Bryan. WWE clearly thought he could bear the brunt.

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.
