Rey Mysterio has had some fantastic ring attire over the years, with him often paying tribute to various superheroes.
This includes Spider-Man, Superman, The Joker, Wolverine, and more. However, that is expected to not be done as often as he has in the past.
While speaking with Adrian Hernandez of Unlikely, Rey discussed how WWE told him to slow down on doing it after they would get cease and desist letters.
“Actually, WWE had to shut me down for a minute because I was getting too exaggerated. It’s my logo. I’m just using their colors and maybe a Captain America star here and the gloves, but I don’t change anything. With this outfit, I have a dope idea I want to put into work, and I’m hoping I’m able to bust it out. Overall, it’s always been an inspiration. When I did the first one, I was in AAA. I did a Superman outfit. I used to wear tights and trunks over the tights, and the logo on the trunks had the Superman logo with the ? and the colors. I just wore a red cape. People got what I was trying to do. I did Batman, Spider-Man, and I carried that with me to WWE until they told me, ‘Hey, maybe you’ve got to stop a little bit because we’re getting cease and desist letters.”
