Catchy, ain't it? Well, in much the same way that gognnahhrea is, maybe. Rey Mysterio, as well as being an aerial ace, obviously fancies himself as a bit of a hip-hop star (I blame Konan). Rey Rey recorded a hip-hop track for another of WWE's music projects, WWE Originals. The record, which consisted of WWE stars singing/speaking/grunting Jim Jonnston-penned lyrics, wasn't very good and WWE din't sell a lot of copies of it. Okay, I'll concede that Rikishi's 'Put a Little Ass on it' is a lost R&B classic, but that's about it. WWE needed to get their money's worth out of the endeavour, though, so they used Rey's effort 'Crossing Borders' as the theme song for No Way Out 2004. It's obvious why; Rey was in a featured Cruiserweight Title match against Chavo Guerrero at the event, which emanated from the Cow Palace in San Francisco, with a large latino audience in attendance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NjUqGtxPcw No Way Out 2004 was, of course, the night that Eddie Guerrero dethroned Brock Lesnar to win the WWE Title, a move made by WWE in order to draw in the ever-growing Latino demographic. Why wouldn't they use a song with mostly Mexican lyrics? The track was still pants, mind.
