I love Rey Rey. He was probably the best high flyer at one point in pro-wrestling. But he cannot go anymore. This last bicep injury and putting him out for another 6-9 months are indications that this guy's body just isn't what it used to be 10 years ago. He's not young anymore and his body can't heal at the rate it used to. Honestly, he can't change his style either. Towards the end of 99, people were complaining that he had gotten bad. In the WWE, he re-invited himself somewhat, focusing on move placement and selling as opposed to tossing out move after move.
However, his constant injury puts him as a risk for being unreliable. And honestly, he cannot change styles again since he's too small for anything else. More importantly people expect that risk taking style from Rey. So I don't see anything positive to come out of him. Within the WWE, his only option is to remain as someone to put future champions over or move to ECW. But again it's only putting difficult expectations upon him.
Rey still is young and can do something else. But either way, it just doesn't look good for him. He's had his time, albeit a short, memorable one. So now it's time to move on. Sorry Rey, but do yourself, your and your family a favor.
