25 Most Important WWE Stars Of The 21st Century So Far

19. Rey Mysterio

It would have been impossible to leave Rey Mysterio off a list of this type, in all honesty. When it comes to popularity with the fans - combined with merchandise sales - Mysterio is a certain contender to make the cut. Even in this modern age, he remains fiercely popular amongst younger fans, with that masked gimmick still generating a decent amount of success. He is still one of the top merchandise sellers to this very day, with only the very top stars managing to outsell him. His ability inside the ring isn't too bad, either. Whether it is his legendary hour-long performance to win the Royal Rumble, or his outstanding title matches around the middle part of the 2000s, Mysterio was without doubt one of the top dogs in the WWE at one point. And his legacy will certainly live on, with Mysterio perhaps the most popular little man of all-time.
