WWE: 5 Replacements For Rey Mysterio

5. Sami Zayn

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JwCJmmaPkw Zayn has been making waves in NXT, and is perhaps the stand out performer from the current roster. The fans in Florida absolutely love him, he receives a rapturous reception whenever he comes to the ring. A complete natural in the ring, Zayn combines great technical skill with good high flying skills. He is substantially taller than Mysterio, so is not such a natural underdog, but his matches against Antonio Cesaro on NXT show he is more than capable of filling that role. Sami Zayn was better known on the independent scene as El Generico. Zayn played the character of a generic luchador, even though he is Canadian, encompassing traditional luchador moves and techniques. He wrestled in a mask, which is a unique skill. He is able to show emotion, pain and tell the story of the match without the use of his full face. If WWE want a like for like replacement for Mysterio then they will want a masked wrestler, and Zayn could easily return to wearing a mask. Most Exciting Manoeuvre http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbyOcJ06wKA Zayn has a huge repertoire of moves, but the one that he is perhaps the master of is his Tornado DDT. Zayn is able to hit this move from a huge variety of different positions; off the turnbuckle, spring boarding off the ropes, and even diving on the outside of the ring.
