20 Most Ridiculous WWE Action Figures Ever Released
4. Flex Em Rey Mysterio
There have been a lot of rumours over the years of Mysterio bulking up through the tip of a needle, like so many of WWEs roster in the past. A few wellness policy violations dont exactly halt these rumours either, and neither did his name being cited in connection with dodgy doctors in the wake of the Chris Benoit tragedy. When Mysterio was injured at the start of 1998 and came back at Bash at the Beach he was noticeably a whole lot bulkier particularly in the chest and arms. Since then he has only gotten bigger. So you would imagine that given WWEs paranoia regarding the issues of steroids, they might not want to draw attention to the fact that his unnaturally bulky chest has been the target of much speculation and discussion. Youd think that maybe they thought they could just skip Mysterio for this particular line of exaggerated toys. They didnt though. Instead they decided to draw as much attention to his inflated chest as much as possible by exaggerating it even more. This isnt exactly the best strategy for keeping your wrestlers drug use incognito...but then again WWE have never been known for subtlety.
