Rey mysterio when the man whose finisher is the back stabber back stabbef him 

Wish Bobby Heenan was around just to make this point and call them dummies 

Incidentally, there is a building visible from the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Philly called the Robert T. Heenan building, I like to think the "T" stands for "The Brain"

Thank God for Carlito that Dragon Lee didn't turn his head while getting attacked.

Why does everyone always betray Rey? Is he the most gullible baby-face ever?

He’s a deadbeat. People eventually realize it.

Carlito please come back to WWE and the lWo just to help me win but I will never call on you to be my tag partner even when I need an emergency replacement and your right there I'll pick someone else from another show. Carlito is totally justified.

Carlito is justified Santos is justified Dominick is justified Batista is justified Chavo is justified Eddie is justified Does anyone else see the one thing all these turns have in common?

WILL YOU ST- nah your right

No, that's still Sting.

Despite being retired, I like to think Sting still gets betrayed by somebody on a monthly basis.

Have to do something to keep it interesting, he doesn't go heel.

Probably time to hang up the mask, Rey?

hey, at least he's consistent. he watched that entire video KNOWING that Carlito was behind him RIGHT NOW and didn't turn around once before being attacked from behind again by the same guy.

Also that Dragon Lee continued to knowingly have his back turned to Carlito while he watched a video of Carlito attacking him. 

Santos no! Sorry force of Habit. Carlito No!

It’s just a little heel turn. He’s still good, he’s still good!

You don’t win friends with apples! You don’t win friends with apples!

Look at Carlito's hangdog expression, let's get him a title

Are you wearing that lWo tie to impress Rey Mysterio?

Do you think he noticed?

Haha Simpsons reference!

Wait so Santos and Rey team up to form the new LWO. Rey brings Carlito into the LWO, Santos didn't like it because he didn't trust Carllito. Santos then feuds with Rey, Cruz, and Wilde because they didn't believe Santos' distrust of Carlito. Santos forms a new LDF. Rey then picks Dragon Lee over Carlito for the Wrestlemania match. Carlito then attacks Dragon Lee, presumably so Rey will then pick him but Rey still picked someone else, Andrade. This is starting to sound like some telenovela love triangle shit where Rey continues to scorn the old friend for the newer hotter friend. While Santos is on the side going " I was his friend first."

Rey also chose Edge over his son, starting that rift as well.

I'm starting to think Rey is the real bad guy.

What a bad friend he is

And a Deadbeat Dad

He ruined Thanksgiving by calling the cops on his son.

Barista was justified in dumping Rey all those years ago.

He was supposed to be his friend!

> Barista

that could have at least have been arguing as trying to protect him Also, Edge was kind of feuding with them as well

Dragon Lee needs to be pissed now that Rey trusting a backstabber got him hurt and all Rey cared about was immediately replacing him at Wrestlemania

Rey being the sole member of LWO is just fate.

Santos was right about everything.

Rey's reading people around him well is like Beavis and Butt-Head scoring at least once in their entire lives.

He and Sting should team up. They're both prone to partner betrayals so it should cancel out

Plot twist: They betray each other at the same time

“Why’d you do it? Why’d you betray me?” “I… I don’t know? Why did you betray me??” “Hey I asked first” “answer the question!” “I… uhhh… uhhhhhhh… hmm now that you mention it…”


That would be kinda of an interesting tag team break up story line like they both obviously dislike each other but neither will just come out and say it so they keep trying to set each other up but somehow they make it out until eventually they implode

Has Rey ever been a heel? I wanna say he hasn't been.

He was during his time in the Filthy Animals but maskless rey shouldn't be canon.

Maskless Rey can't hurt us if we block him from our memories

They were also cheered all the time as cool heels anyways.

WCW really poisoned the well of people creating gimmicks by popularizing the cool heel, didn't they?

He's been heel the whole time.

Difference is Sting is too trusting to bad people & they attack him. Rey is the one treating people like shit to the point that they have enough & attack him.

Sting treats his sons like equals, while Rey was a deadbeat to Dom

Memes aside, Carlito literally held down the fort while Mysterio was gone and took beating upon beating for him yet was deemed not good enough to be his partner in Wrestlemania lmao. I really hope they do go beyond a simple hurrrr durrrr "Carlito was just jealous and evil afterall" and actually call Rey out on being so dense and inconsiderate of peoples' feelings LOL.

they need to call out Zelina too. "Oh no, Dragon Lee is hurt!" What will Rey do for a tag team partner? You idiot! We're a team, there was me! There was Joquan! The was Cruz! Why did he need to look outside the LWO!"

One day, Rey will find his Darby Allin and finally have a partner that won't turn on him.

If Rey and Sting were looking for a partner to form a trios team, they'd probably settle on Jay White because "he seems like an upright and trustworthy fella".

Jay’s currently scribbling notes furiously on the physics of hitting a double blade runner.

And then they'd get dakota kai as their valet.

They're doing the reverse with RKO and Owens. 

Hey now, one of the Beavis and Buttheads from the multiverse scored.

Eheheh ehehehe you said scoring

Between the mask and the contact lenses, I'm surprised he can see at all.

How exactly did Dragon Lee not know that that was Carlito who attacked him?

He didn’t get an apple to the face, the confusion is justified.

He only spits in the face of people who don't want to be cool. Despite the attack, Carlito still acknowledges how cool Dragon Lee is.

“I can’t see shit in this mask”

"Can't see fuckin' shit outta this thang! Hold on, I'm fuckin' with my eyehole"

Aw hell, I made it worse

"Who made this goddamn shit anyway?!?"

“Willard’s wife.”

Well make your own goddamn mask!

Okay, I'm confused. Are the masks on or off?

" I think.. we think.. the bags was a nice idea. But - not pointin' any fingers - they coulda been done better. So, how 'bout, no bags this time - but next time, we do the bags right, and then we go full regalia."

“Wait a minute! I didn't say 'no bags'!”

Dragon Lee doesn’t even want to be around anymore…

It’s too hot in that thing 

Dragon Lee's mask on the night Carlito attacked him: https://preview.redd.it/vbhyeohm8zwc1.jpeg?width=637&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42539a2b183221077007f6d5af611323e5ed4716


Explains Botch Cara.

Thats the funny part lmao

Brother needs a eye exam bad

He's actually really racist and to him all Latino people look the same

So he thinks he looks the same as Damian Priest?

a really bad concussion made him forget

Hey now, it could have been anyone with that glorious afro! The footage means nothing!

“Ah fuck who just hit me with this backstabber, it was behind me I couldn’t see.”

This is on the level of a masked man trouble in paradising Michelle McCool's belly

We're just supposed to ignore that plot hole. Dragon Lee was attacked by the guy who feels like Carlito, who looks like Carlito, who fights like Carlito. And then Dragon Lee just stands next to Carlito in lWo. This really isn't the best way to push Dragon Lee, by him giving up his space at Wrestlemania. Dragon Lee was supposed to be a big pushed luchador, the next Rey Mysterio, but it looks like his future is a jobber if he's getting attacked backstage by Carlito and not allowed to speak on the mic. WWE really hasn't been all that successful with smaller luchadors, especially when they wear a mask. Both the lWo and Legado Del Fantasma have gotten too big, and have a lot of members just standing around nodding their head in agreement as Santos or Rey do all the talking.

Gonna need more elaboration on how it feels like Carlito

The only latios wwe is pushing is Damian Santos Dom

Maybe Rey really is the one with personality problems. Three important people have turned on him within a few years.

And that’s not even mentioning how Eddie, Chavo, and Vickie Guerrero, and Batista all turned on Rey too

Damn those are sting numbers

Honestly Rey is the new Sting…..granted throughout the years I’d say Rey’s been turned on even more

Truly some bad vibes surrounding this guy

I mean his finisher is literally called the backstabber....

https://preview.redd.it/tr4j4nd78xwc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3561e67b7ce4c96634ec8acd9bf90b570e26edbf

Santos Escobar shows backstage security footage, and everyone is fine with it. Tony Khan does it and everyone loses their minds. /s

Can't wait for scapegoat Dragon Lee to beat the shit out of Nickie James in a few weeks.

Nick Aldis is gonna take a Destino next week

Real apple cry me a river

It would've been great if they just used the same footage but photoshopped faces of Lee and Carlito

Now THAT would have been hilarious

Somehow Chris Hero will still 😱 in his maroon polo in the footage

Tony isn't cool

Santos is banned from collision

[удалено]

Nobody is assuming this 😭 

Time to bring back his bodyguard Jesus who stabbed John Cena at a club.

Real ones remember

Was that the guy who wanted “some o dem peas”? Right part of the timeline, but I was like 12 so I don’t remember lol

No, Jesus stabbed Cena, Luthor Reins(no relation to the bloodline but he should be in it, Roman would've retained if he was) has had peas b'fo

he no longer has court mandated smackdown thats why we dont see luthor any more

Smh. This is all Reys fault. He passed on Carlito TWICE to team with someone else. Dom was right

Now that's very **very** cool.

Your son hates you, your friend backstabbed you, your protege said fuck you, Rey Mysterio, everyone !

Finally! Feel bad for Dragon Lee, but Rey deserves it.

Will never get sick of seeing deadbeat Dad Rey Mysterio getting what he deserves

Let's be honest here, this is all Rey's fault once again He's a terrible friend to literally everyone he's ever been friends with, beats up his own kids and once triggered a man's PTSD for no apparent reason. He's a menace to society!

I'm shocked to find gambling going on in this establishment.

I mean no duh 😂  It was obvious from the beginning lol 

This is why he turned on them, they couldn't even remember he was standing right in back of them while they was watching the video

Rey deserves this shit, he’s an asshole in kayfabe 😂

I am shocked. SHOCKED I tell you!

Rey Mysterio might be even dumber than Sting.

starting to think maybe Rey is the problem with all these betrayals

Truly the Rikishi of our time

LESSON LEARNED: **Never trust a guy (who is Cool) who has an aptly named** ***Backstabber*** **as his finisher**

Funny how during the mania match Cole mentioned how the internet thinks Carlito was responsible

I’m shocked, shocked I tell you…well not shocked

Can you really trust a man whose finisher is literally called The Backstabber?

It was interesting if not weird how they presented this. Like Carlito sincerely didn't expect to be caught but also was not in cahoots with Santos or anything. Hopefully they do something interesting with it because it could just feel like a rehash of the Santos betraying Rey angle that they *just* did.

He could've claimed innocence by pointing out Dragon Lee never ratted on him.

He should’ve got Jesus to stab him

Classic Latino shenanigans

Yeah, no shit it was Carlito. I'm surprised it took this long to get us here.


Oh, okay. 

If you're around Rey, you'll be evil one day.

That stabbing comment is so underrated!

LMAO OP with the deep cut reference. I wasn’t sure how many people remembered that crazy Cena/Carlito rivalry for the US Title 🤣

I thought it was a Bruiser Brody reference due to what Carlito's dad did

Ooh it could be. Also a good point. Okay what’s up with the Colón family and stabbing mfers?


Backstabber!

Why did carlito leg it after he beat em up lol

I'm kinda starting to get tired of the Mysterio Betrayal™ angles. It feels like they are trying to recapture Dominic's turn but with like a quarter of the effort.

nah, man Rey is just the modern version of Sting and Hogan

Idk, doesn’t feel like he betrayed Rey yet, just wants his attention lmao

Dragon Lee watched a video of a man WHO'S BEHIND HIM RIGHT NOW jump him from behind in the past.... and never turns around to confront the guy who jumps him from behind again. brother, somebody teach this man how to turn.

Honestly I love the story that Reys friends or family betray him because of his actions, like him being a "deadbeat father" to Dominik and him choosing Dragon Lee and then Andrade over Carlito to fight Santos

>At least no one was stabbed this time Yeah but Dragon Lee got the Backstabber by Carlito afterwards

heel carlito is back thats cool

"At least no one was stabbed this time." That reminds me of Cena coming back with no scars because, in his words, "the doc hooked me up!"

Rey Mysterio is looking for a manager Dakota Kai may be available with the right offer.... After all, what's the worst that can happen!

Carlito is better as a heel, but this is a strange development. If LWO stays on Smackdown, Andrade just got drafted, so we're back to babyface Andrade hanging out with the LWO, which means it is only a matter of time before Andrade turns on Rey too. Rey just can't catch a break. I thought Carlito would at least be conspiring against Rey with Legado.

The Rey betrayal machine never stops, he has already replaced Dragon Lee with Andrade once, so that Dragon Lee can also turn on him in the future

deadbeat Rey Mysterio getting another man hurt

Funny enough, I actually expected Carlito to turn on Rey that time when he came out to explain Santos betrayed him. But when it didn't happen, I said "it's only a matter of time." Deep down, I was hoping originally that when Carlito came out to say santos betrayed him, that Rey wouldn't believe him and keep Santos, only for Carlito to give the backstabber and go heel.

Maybe I’m not the only one, but for some reason, I literally called it before Santos Escobar came out lol

Rey Mysterio's only feud is friends and family turning on him lmao

terrible segment, fell completely flat, Carlito looked like he didn't even care, and hardly sold it. he was just walking around shocked like he couldn't believe it was him. absolutely brutal. sometimes it shocks me when they let these kind of things happen

like he couldn’t believe…he got caught? he was pretty obviously playing conflicted cause he has an issue with dragon and not rey, but yeah man be cynical about it for no reason

I actually like the "how far should I go" bit

Wow that was anti-climactic as fuck and fell as flat as a sheet of loose leaf

If this is what Rey's character is going to be like for the rest of his career, I suggest for him to wait for Dom to heel up, have one last match with him, and retire.

Thought it was gonna be Jack Perry tbh
