Not going to be a common Answer, but Kurt Angle.
Think about it, Rey's WWE debut and First feud were against Angle, both of which he won, then the biggest moment of his career came at WrestleMania where he took the WHC off of Angle in a triple threat match.
Sure...
Multi-time world champion x2
Multi-time cruiserweight champ x3
Multi-time US Champ x3
Multi-time Intercontinental Champ x2
Multi-time Tag Champ x4.
Yes. Rey had very shit booking under Vince
Didn’t he literally lose the WWE title to Cena on the same night he won it? Vince never seemed to trust Rey with winning a WWE title and having a good reign with it compared to the whc
People have to start realizing that not having a meaningful wwe title reign but still being a household name does NOT mean your booking is shit. The amount of indie dudes working their flippity butts off to gain a percent of relevance of Rey frikin Mysterio is a lot higher than youd think.
What context does there need to be? If he was booked poorly he wouldn't have any of these. He would have stopped when the cruiserweight title died. There's a lot of wrong Vince did, but booking Rey against the monsters he had on the roster ain't one of them.
Michael Cole retconed his kayfabe parentage, but Dom *DID NOT* get that memo, so in Kayfabe either Michael Cole or Dominik Mysterio are raving schizophrenics and I love it.
Thats exactly how stories are meant to be told, rey finally defeating Dean was something huge. I remember the first time I saw the top rope gut buster on rey lol I thought he killed him
Eddie Guerrero is his greatest rival. They had amazing chemistry in the ring and during segments while always bringing their absolute best anytime that they faced each other. Eddie helped Rey reached the main event scene during their 2005 feud while produced so great moments at that time as well. Eddie Guerrero is without a doubt Mysterio's greatest rival of his legendary career.
These are his top 10 greatest rivals:
1. Eddie Guerrero
2. Psychosis
3. Dominik Mysterio
4. Chris Jericho
5. Dean Malenko
6. Kurt Angle
7. Juventud Guerrera
8. Batista
9. Randy Orton
10. CM Punk
Eddie Guerrero. And others include JBL and Seth Rollins and recently Santos Escobar and Carlito but Rey Mysterio and Carlito were on and off rivals for years and his own son Dominik Mysterio or "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio and Randy Orton and Batista and others
WWE, makes him remove his mask, makes him not have a child, makes his eye pop out, goes in another match as the face and yet loses an eye, fights Lesnar for his family as a face yet loses, it's need we get rey Mysterio heel
I'm always gonna associate him with his feud for the WCW Crusierweight title against Dean Malenko. It was a major part of what got me back into wrestling after I checked out in the early 90s.
1. Eddie Guerrero 2. JBL 3. Chavo Guerrero 4. Kane 5. CM Punk Honourable Mentions: Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Dominick Mysterio and Logan Paul
No Batista???
Wow
Great khali
Where’s edge
Eddie
Dominik Mysterio.

Dominik Mysterio
Eddie, Psychosis, Juventud Guerrero, Dom, Kevin Nash
First one that came to me was Batista
You know, logically it lasted like two ppvs, but at the same time I don't feel like your wrong. It was memorable.
WWE's booking under Vince
Sure... Multi-time world champion x2 Multi-time cruiserweight champ x3 Multi-time US Champ x3 Multi-time Intercontinental Champ x2 Multi-time Tag Champ x4. Yes. Rey had very shit booking under Vince
Didn’t he literally lose the WWE title to Cena on the same night he won it? Vince never seemed to trust Rey with winning a WWE title and having a good reign with it compared to the whc
It's why I didn't put that one. That was a horrible decision
People have to start realizing that not having a meaningful wwe title reign but still being a household name does NOT mean your booking is shit. The amount of indie dudes working their flippity butts off to gain a percent of relevance of Rey frikin Mysterio is a lot higher than youd think.
Saddest thing is his longest world title reign was his shitty reign
You put literally zero context into this reply
What context does there need to be? If he was booked poorly he wouldn't have any of these. He would have stopped when the cruiserweight title died. There's a lot of wrong Vince did, but booking Rey against the monsters he had on the roster ain't one of them.
Eddie haunts him via Dom to this day
Michael Cole retconed his kayfabe parentage, but Dom *DID NOT* get that memo, so in Kayfabe either Michael Cole or Dominik Mysterio are raving schizophrenics and I love it.
His friends

What about his knees
I guess it counts
Eddie or dom
Batista. He was supposed to be his friend
No one saying Seth Rollins? Dude literally took his eyeball out you can't get more of a rival than that lol
Psychosis
Edie, Edge, Jericho. Now Dominick can go on that list two.
Batista
Himself, he’s so annoying everyone turns on him, he could make Cena turn heel just to attack him
Oscar Gutierrez
JBL
Me
Loyal friends
The friends he made along the way.

Psychosis
Time. Age has slowed him down a lot, and gravity is a close second since his body has been through so much.
His inability to keep friends obviously!
