Born: December 11, 1974


American professional wrestler Rey Mysterio was born Oscar Gutierrez Rubio on
Dec. 11, 1974, in San Diego, California. Rey made his debut as a wrestler at age
14 in a small church in Tijuana, Mexico, where he used the name Colobri (Spanish
for hummingbird). Then in 1995, Rey had his ECW debut match, where he defeated
Psicosis, and in 1996 he was signed by WCW. He had many great matches against
both luchadores and cruiserweights alike, but his most famous match came against
real-life friend Eddie Guerrero at "Halloween Havoc 1997." In 2002,
Rey signed with the WWE, where Vince McMahon requested that Rey wear his mask
even though in Mexico, once a wrestler loses his mask he cannot regain it or he
could be fined or have his license suspended. Rey still lives in San Diego with
his wife Angie and their two children, Dominik and Aalyah. He has both of their
names tattooed underneath his left and right bicep as well as the Spanish word
for Mexico on his stomach.
