Rey Mysterio and his contributions to the professional wrestling industry lie in glistening colors in front of everyone. The WWE Hall Of Famer has achieved almost everything to earn a prestigious spot in the division. However, his physical statistics often raise eyebrows while judging his potential.
Height plays a major role in professional wrestling in securing a win over the opponent. Being 5 feet and 6 inches tall, Rey Mysterio falls short of many WWE superstars who are, on an average, over 6 feet. While the WWE HOF’er has fallen short in this, he has outshone himself in other criteria to come out as the better man.

Following his rivalry with Logan Paul, many fans wonder if their height difference may pose a threat to the 48-year-old star. Being almost 6 ft 2 in, Logan Paul seems quite confident to thrash Rey Mysterio. However, height has never been a barrier for the Lucha Libre star and his skills prove the statement.
It isn’t the first time that Rey Mysterio will be squaring off against someone taller than him. With an experience of almost 24 years, Rey has broken the stereotype of matching the physique of a professional wrestler. Despite not being tall and huge, Rey has proved why he is one of the biggest assets of WWE.
