Rey Mysterio was born as Óscar Gutiérrez on 11 December 1974 in Chula Vista, California, in the United States. Much is not known about his parents, but his uncle Rey Misterio Sr., a well-known professional wrestler and trainer, trained him from an early age.

Rey Mysterio made his debut in Mexico in the year 1989, when he was only fourteen. From 1992 to 1995, he wrestled with Asistencia Asesoría y Administración (Assistance, Assessment and Administration), which was based in Mexico.

Later in 1995, he signed with 'Extreme Championship Wrestling'. The next year, he was signed by 'World Championship Wrestling'. In his first match at the Great American Bash, he faced the Cruiserweight Champ Dean Malenko, in which Malenko emerged victorious. Mysterio mostly fought with high flyers such as Ultimate Dragon, Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman, and his longtime rival, Psicosis, whom he defeated in July 1996 in 'Bash at the Beach'.

Very soon, again in July 1996, Rey Mysterio fought Malenko, defeating him to win his first Cruiserweight Championship. He reigned as champion for three months. During this time, he had to defend his title from many, such as Ultimate Dragon, Super Caló and then Malenko himself.

Mysterio eventually lost the title after losing to Malenko at the Halloween Havoc. Later, he challenged Ultimate Dragon for the J-Crown Championship in November 1996. However, he was unsuccessful.

In 1997, Rey won the Cruiserweight Championship for a second time, after emerging victorious in a match against his opponent Guerrero. However, in November, he was defeated by Guerrero, and the latter reclaimed the title.

Throughout his career, Rey Mysterio has won various championships. Some of them are the 'Mexican National Welterweight Championship' (won once), WCW Cruiserweight Championship (won five times), WWE World Heavyweight Championship (won twice), WWE Tag Team Championship (won four times), and the WWE Championship (won once).
