6-1-9
Rey is from San Diego, and the phone exchange in San Diego is 6-1-9, get it? However, while the technique appears to be a touch modest in comparison to many of today’s finishes, Rey could smash a man’s face with this move, especially once he started wearing knee braces. After pushing an opponent into the second rope, Rey charges full speed forward and turns his entire body right back into whatever he’s facing, both knees slamming into their face, allowing Rey to do a splash or a Slingshot Legdrop for the 1-2-3.

Running Hurricanrana
Rey, like most Luchadors, has a range of Hurricanranas at his disposal to decimate opponents. Some you can see coming, while others are so rapid that you’d have to be faster than Rey-Rey to counter.
That is no easy task. When he comes charging at you, he can do a lot of things, and your brain is working overtime to figure out which direction he’s going to go, and by the time you do, he’s already wrapped his legs around your head for a Running ‘Rana.

Mysterio-Rana
Trying to grab Rey Mysterio for a devastating power move is far more difficult than you may expect. While the renowned Luchador appears to be an easy target for a powerbomb, he’ll make you think twice about dropping him again. Many men who attempt to deliver an electric chair to the king of mystery must move quickly. Mysterio has gotten so skilled at spinning around on an opponent’s shoulders to hit a Hurricanrana that the manoeuvre has been dubbed the Mysterio-Rana after him.
