History YMMV / ReyMysterioJr

* TheWoobie: Rey has been betrayed [[Wrestling/EddieGuerrero by]] [[Wrestling/ChavoGuerreroJr three]] [[Wrestling/VickieGuerrero Guerreros]], {{Wrestling/Batista}}, and most recently his own friend ''Santos Escobar''. [[Wrestling/DominikMysterio His own flesh and blood]] [[FaceHeelTurn turning on him]] and joining a group of [[Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay rotten heels]] takes the cake. He openly declared he hated Rey and physically attacked him. Rey refused to fight back no matter how much he deserved it, and in fact that's why Dominik beat him. This feud would cause their family a ton of grief. Rey moved to [[Wrestling/WWESmackDown Smackdown]], but Dom refused to leave well enough alone. Eight days before '''[[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania 39]]''', Rey [[CatharsisFactor finally knocked his son on his ass]] and accepted his challenge for the event.

** One year later, Dirty Dom decides he's not done with Rey and heads over to Wrestling/Smackdown to mess with him further, joining ''Santos Escobar'' who also despises him. This leads to a tag match at [[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania XL]] where Escobar and Dominik fall to Rey and [[Wrestling/AndradeCienAlmas Andrade]].

** After Rey has refused to lay a hand on his son for months, he decides that enough is enough when Wrestling/{{Dominik|Mysterio}} starts insulting Angie, Rey's wife and Dom's mom, and punches him flat onto his back before challenging him to a match at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' 39. Wrestling/MichaelCole's [[HellYesMoment "Oh yeah!"]] when Rey lands the punch was on point.

** Speaking of their match, there was a lots of cathartic cheers when Rey got his belt to give Dom a proper spanking. What's better is Rey won, celebrating with his wife and daughter while Dominik could do nothing but sulk.

Eight days before '''[[Wrestling/WrestleMania WrestleMania 39]]''', Rey [[CatharsisFactor finally knocked his son on his ass]] and accepted his challenge for the event. Oh, and the night before, Dominik and the Judgment Day walked out of Rey's [[Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame Hall of Fame speech]]. It only made Dom's loss sweeter.

* FakeNationality: He has Mexican ancestry and both studied and worked in Mexico, but he was born and raised in the US. This came in handy when (as noted in his book), WCW was refusing to renew a number of luchadores' working visas for cost-cutting reasons and he pointed out that he was a legal resident there. Despite this, it's not uncommon for him to be introduced as being from Mexico.

* CatharsisFactor: After Rey has refused to lay a hand on his son for months, he decides that enough is enough when Wrestling/{{Dominik|Mysterio}} starts insulting Angie, Rey's wife and Dom's mom, and punches him flat onto his back before challenging him to a match at ''[=WrestleMania=]'' 39. Wrestling/MichaelCole's [[HellYesMoment "Oh yeah!"]] when Rey lands the punch was on point. Speaking of their match, there was a lots of cathatric cheers when Rey got his belt to give Dom a proper spanking.

* TearJerker: Rey's storyline with Dominik, who pulled a FaceHeelTurn and joined Wrestling/TheJudgmentDay, is him trying to convince his son to step out of the dark and admitting his flaws as a parent. Throughout it all, he's doing his best ''not'' to lay a finger on his son and ultimately refuses to fight him...until Dominik decides to insult Angie, Rey's wife and Dominik's own mother, before he screams a (justified) WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou for how Dominik has been disrespectful to his mother. While cathartic, it really goes to show how Rey has finally had ''enough'' of this bullshit.

** The WWE'13 tweet.[[labelnote:Explanation]]While promoting the newest WWE video game in 2012, Rey has released the tweet that reads "Finally got my copy of [=#WWE13=] can't wait to play it tonight on the bus & can't [[RougeAnglesOfSatin Waite]] to beat my kids as well! [=Enjoy619=]". Years later, Rey's son Wrestling/DominikMysterio has used it in a storyline against his father to paint him as an abusive parent.[[/labelnote]]
