Rey Mysterio Reveals Promoter Once Said He Was Too Small To Be Believed As A Wrestler

TLDR

Rey Mysterio revealed that during his first trip to Japan in 1995 for WAR's Super J Cup tournament, the promoter initially said he was "too small" and that fans "won't believe he's a wrestler." Instead of being fully integrated into the tournament featuring wrestlers like Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho, Mysterio was placed in a special match on the card. After his performance, the same promoter asked "When can we have him again?" and said he would bring Mysterio back.
