Of course, putting him in the ring with mat general and all-around talent Dean Malenko is a surefire plan for a great wrestling contest. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1ks4p_dean-malenko-vs-rey-mysterio-jr-gab_sport Mysterio's high-flying counteracted via Malenko's mat grappling is an eye-opening spectacle that likely demands multiple viewings.
