So according to a report by🧜 the reason why we're not going to get Rey Mysterio 🍌back in WWE is because of this guy:
Well, not that guy. THAT guy is Paul Diamond.
That CHARACTER is Max Mo🃏on, the only WWF Superstar to be billed as being "FROM SPACE."
He made his debut on the very first episode of RAW, January 11, 1993, facing Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental T෴itle. He lasted less than two months, dying out when Diamond was released at the end of his contract.
But Max Moo💮n was supposed to be played by THIS guy:
But rat💎her than play Max Moon, Konnan𓆉 decided to leave WWF and go back to Mexico. He was "speaking on this" as part of the nWo in WCW just a few years later.
And Vince McMahon hasn't forgotten.
Twenty-five years later, that grudge he still hol🐻ds agaiꦯnst Konnan for abandoning the gimmick of Max Moon (as well as the very expensive costume) has lead to Vince passing on re-signing former World Champion Rey Mysterio Jr.
You see, Konnan is basically Rey's de facto agent, and rat♛her than work with ﷽Konnan, Vince has decided to let Rey join GFW.
Again, this is all according to a report in .
Apparently, Konnan was backstage at a recent SmackDown as Chris Jericho's invitation and "his appearance did not help mend any of the issues that exist between himself and the WWE office."
It was reported last month that Rey was in early negotiations with both WWE and GFW, and then just two days later we heard that GFW had already made him an offer.
Rey could also decide to stick with Lucha Underground, but they haven't even announced a Fourth Season yet, so all signs point to him joining GFW Impact and becoming their biggest star, leaving Kalisto as the most prominent ⛎Latino on the WWE roster. (That is, unless you count .)
Because Vince still blames Konnan f♕or the failures of Maꦐx Moon.
