16 Purest Babyfaces In Wrestling History
3. Rey Mysterio Jr.
Booking Mysterio as a heel is functionally impossible.
A big part of being an excellent babyface is garnering sympathy, which is always easier to accomplish as the smaller man in a match. Well, Rey Mysterio has probably never been the larger man in any of the thousands of matches he's had in his 25-plus year career. Who's he going to throw around, El Torito?
Aside from his permanent David (read: non-Goliath) status, Mysterio has also always been a modest, humble competitor whose acrobatics reflect the necessities of competing at his size rather than any kind of desire to show off. He was briefly a heel as part of the Filthy Animals in WCW, but he was also wrestling maskless in child-size medium overalls, so it may as well have never happened.
